Hull

The hull is made of fibreglass. A hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

Interior

The boat is equipped with 3-4 cabins, 6-8 berths and toilet facility.

Rig

The Nautitech 54 is built with a fractional rig. The sail area for the mailsail + jib is 144.0 m² (1,550.0 ft²). A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a gennaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

Keel

Unknown keel type

The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.54 - 1.64 meter (5.05 - 5.35 ft) dependent on the load.

Engine

The fuel tank has a capacity of 800 liters (211 US gallons, 175 imperial gallons).

Nautitech 54 may be equipped with dual engines at 75 hp (55 kW)..
