2003 Nauticat Pilothouse NC37

Among pilothouse sailboats, the Nauticat 37 is considered one of the best designs with an attractive profile and roomy interior while offering respectable sailing performance. Solidly built in Finland in 2003 by Nauticat Shipyard (previously Siltala Yachts) in high-quality European workmanship reputed to be comparable to Halberg Rassy in build-quality and joinery. Three Rivers is a comfortable blue water sailboat ideal for extended cruises or live-aboard. Her large pilothouse with a raised saloon provides a bright living space with excellent all-around visibility, also perfect for keeping watches and navigating in the open seas in safety and comfort. Featuring a large aft-stateroom, a V-berth, and two heads, a saloon and galley, the NC37 has comparable living space as many 40 footers. She has been diligently maintained and is in very good condition, with many recent upgrades and refurbishments. The boat is currently lying in the Atlantic side of Panama at Shelter Bay Marina, an excellent resort-grade full-service marina near the entrance of the Canal. I have owned 3Rivers for three years and have enjoyed this excellent cruising area. However, my plans have changed and 3Rivers is in turn-key condition for a new owner to enjoy the beautiful cruising grounds of the Caribbean.
