'Minnow' Nautitech 40 Open adventures from France to Montenegro Ensign Yachts October 17, 2023 Another recently launched [Nautitech 40 Open](https://ensignyachts.com.au/ensign/yachts-for-sale/new/sail-catamarans/nautitech-40-open/203102/) S.C. 'Minnow' has begun her adventures with happy owners John and Sue. Starting out at the [Nautitech](https://ensignyachts.com.au/nautitech-catamarans-range/) factory in La Rochelle, 'Minnow' made her way through the Straight of Gibraltar, up the coast of Spain, France, Italy, and eventually ending up in Montenegro. We would like to thank John and Sue for sharing photos of their adventures so far. It is great to see what these impressive catamarans are capable of, with 'Minnow' already pushing 16knts of boat speed in some big winds.  If you would like to follow along with John and Sue's travels on board S.C. 'Minnow', you can check out their [Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@SailingCatamaranMinnow) and [Instagram page](https://www.instagram.com/sc.minnow/).
