The trip
The name of the boat, what does it mean "El Gaucho"?
In Argentina, "El Gaucho" is a person working in farm, taking care of his animals, lowing his ground and nature. He is a very reliable person, you can trust him. We chose this name because we didn't want any word play or jokes. We wanted a name with a strong meaning and values. We want to make a strong team with El Gaucho!
Why did you choose Nautitech ?
We came to Nautitech after some research. And to sum up, you find racing catamarans then cruising catamarans. When you're looking for an acceptable compromise, you'll quickly find Nautitech Catamarans. We want a good level of performance, of feeling while keeping a good level of comfort and interior finishing that you find on this boat. It's very pleasant.
Strong points
+ Size ideal for a couple
+ Finishing level
+ Visibility from the two aft helm stations
