Nauticat 40 sailing yacht
Lady Mary
The yacht where Travely-Family began: a family home, an ocean-going vessel and a participant in two circumnavigations via Point Nemo, Cape Horn and Antarctica.
About the vessel
A yacht that became both a home and an expedition vessel
Lady Mary is a Nauticat 40 built in 1988. The Klochkov family acquired her in 2013, and she became much more than a means of transport: she was their permanent home and the foundation of Travely-Family.
Over the years, Lady Mary completed two circumnavigations, crossing the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Southern Oceans, sailing through the area of Point Nemo, rounding Cape Horn and reaching the Antarctic Peninsula. The family's long-distance sailing experience aboard her gradually developed into professional expedition work.
The Nauticat 40 combines a heavy, seaworthy hull, a protected pilothouse and a practical layout for living aboard. Two helm stations are especially valuable on long passages: an outside helm in the cockpit and an inside helm in the pilothouse, where watches can be kept in cold or stormy weather.
Her sail plan is a Bermuda ketch with a mainsail, mizzen and two headsails. This arrangement makes it possible to adjust the sail area to the conditions and reduce the crew's workload in strong winds and on extended ocean passages.
