Aurora is a 1985, 40′ Nauticat Pilothouse staysail ketch — a true classic bluewater yacht built to handle long passages while offering the comfortable livability required for extended cruising or full-time liveaboard life. Nauticat Pilothouse models are well regarded for robust Scandinavian construction, a protected all-weather helm, and seakindly, heavy-displacement hulls that inspire confidence offshore.
The pilothouse provides an elevated, sheltered steering position with excellent visibility and quick access to the interior living spaces — a practical advantage in heavy weather and a welcome feature for long-distance voyaging. The staysail ketch rig gives a versatile, easily balanced sail plan that simplifies sail handling and reefing options in a variety of wind and sea conditions.
Aurora’s interior layout is optimized for comfortable long-term use: a full-beam master stateroom aft delivers generous sleeping space and privacy, and is fitted with an ensuite head and an enclosed shower for convenience and comfort underway or at anchor. The arrangement and volume typical of Nauticat Pilothouse designs make provisioning, storage and systems access straightforward for extended passages or liveaboard operation.
With a mast/air draft of 62’6″ above the waterline, Aurora can transit many Intracoastal Waterway routes while still offering the performance and seakeeping expected of a bluewater platform. This combination of rugged build, practical accommodations and a manageable sail plan makes her an attractive option for cruisers seeking a capable passagemaker with liveaboard comfort.
