The event put finished yachts beside production work

Nautitech invited visitors to inspect the 44 Open and 48 Open while also viewing hulls still moving through the production line. That combination gives buyers a clearer picture of both the finished ownership experience and the manufacturing process behind it.

Factory access can be especially useful with catamarans because structural choices, systems routing and weight distribution are difficult to judge from a completed interior. Seeing the build sequence helps owners understand where durability and serviceability come from.

The 44 and 48 remain firmly inside LYG's size band

Both Open models sit between roughly thirteen and fifteen metres, placing them comfortably within LYG's 12-to-23.99-metre boundary. They target private owners looking for performance-oriented multihulls without moving into the scale and operating structure associated with larger crewed yachts.

The size difference is meaningful rather than cosmetic. The 48 creates more accommodation and storage, while the 44 can reduce berthing, maintenance and handling demands for owners who expect to sail with a smaller regular crew.

The first 41 Type S hull added a development preview

Visitors were also able to see the first hull of the bridged 41 Type S on the production line. Early-stage access lets prospective buyers understand how a new design evolves before marketing photography and finished interiors make the project look complete.

That is valuable for technically engaged owners who want to understand the relationship between concept and construction. Questions about stiffness, access, equipment placement and weight can be addressed while the structure is still visible rather than after delivery.

On-water trials turn theory into handling evidence

Nautitech also offered sea trials by request, allowing visitors to evaluate behaviour under real conditions. A short test cannot reproduce a long passage, but it can reveal helm feel, visibility, motion, sail handling and how naturally the deck layout works for a small crew.

For LYG buyers, that practical evidence is central to a purchase decision. A luxury catamaran in this size band needs to deliver both comfortable living space and confidence for owners who intend to operate it themselves rather than relying on a permanent professional crew.
