NAUTA Farr Nauta 70
Description

The Nauta 70 presents her owner with a seamless balance between high interior comfort and thoroughbred racing performance. This remarkable Bruce Farr design is offered in sparkling condition due to her recent extensive overhaul.

Construction
The concept behind the Nauta 70 is a balance between racing performance and providing a high standard of interior comfort for cruising.The design is very similar to that of racing Maxi's in terms of the ratio of waterline to displacement and sail area to wetted area.The hull itself is built from multiaxial glass fibre / Kevlar skins on a closed cell PVC core.This is then vacuum bonded together as it achieves minimum resin build up and a total load cell measured weight of only 2700kg.

Weight saving techniques are continued in the accommodation, foam cored Mahogany bulk heads are used saving in total hull weight approximately 1200kg.This difference in Hull weight has made it possible to fit systems such as desalinators and air conditioning without drastically reducing performance.Even with these extras the Nauta 70 is still 20% lighter than if it had been constructed of traditional materials.

Weight distribution is also carefully considered, with most of the systems in the centre of the boat sited in a sound proofed instrument room.Engine, desalinisation plant, air conditioning and generator are all near the centre of gravity with the fuel and water tanks.Silandra also has new Lewmar commander 400 hydraulics that operate the Genoa furler, secondary winches and halyards, located in the aft cockpit.There is also a secondary hydraulic unit that gives manual control of the preventer shroud, outhaul, baby stay and reefing.
The steering system was also rebuilt as part of Silandra's refit along with the anchor windlass.The bottom of the hull was also stripped, faired and refinished.
Mechanical Equipment

In the soundproofed engine room is also found the freshwater pressure demand pumps, accumulator tanks, new Westerbeke 15KW 60 cycle, and air conditioning plant (Ocenaire 1 24K BTU, 1 10K BTUcompressors) The cockpit sole above the engine room can also be easily removed.

Accommodation
The interior layout of the Nauta 70 has been as carefully considered as her construction.The saloon has two symmetrical tables, which can together seat 16 people using the extra folding chairs.The expansive owners cabin is located right aft; it boasts a small desk and dressing table, small sofa and five hanging lockers.The four cabins can sleep eight people in total and are designed with comfort in mind; all lined in Honduras mahogany each with an en suite heads compartment.As part of her refit Silandra's interior has been refinished and also the bathroom fittings have been replaced.
The need for space has not been forgotten; the door separating the galley from the saloon and the forward control room fold back to give a long gangway on the port side.Spare sails can also be stored in the after gangway, which leads into the owners cabin.The Navigation station also faces fore and aft, with plenty of workspace for charts, and good access to navigation equipment.

Deck Equipment

The deck layout is surprising, the secondary not primary winches are electrically controlled, and this is to aid the boats versatility as a cruiser / racer.When racing-sheeting speed is often more important than strength, as there are enough crew to haul the Genoa.When cruising sheeting strength is more of a priority due to depleted crew numbers, to aid this transition the Genoa can as easily use the primaries (manual) as the secondaries (hydraulic).There is also a large diameter wheel set in a deep well, which is of laminated mahogany and carbon
There is an adjustable baby stay for race tuning, whilst the winches at the mast foot are positioned for maximum racing efficiency.
Safety and Fire Protection
8 man life rafts, serviced in November 2006.

The fire extinguishing system and life jackets are to be installed / purchased as part of Silandra's on going refit
Comments

SILANDRA has now completed her refit and is ready to be sailed. Her owners do not have time to use her and are therefore anxious to achieve a timely sale. They are also happy to discuss fractional ownership and other proposals for the yacht sale.

She is now in cosmetically excellent condition and all her main systems are new. She turns heads wherever she goes.
