Design
The Nautical 39 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with teak trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars or optional ketch rig, a center cockpit, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed modified long keel, with a cutaway forefoot. It displaces {{convert|22500|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|5.33|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel fitted.
The boat is fitted with a {{convert|50|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} diesel inboard engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds {{convert|60|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|200|u.s.gal}}.
The design has sleeping accommodation for eight people. There is a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, settee berths, including a port double, in the main cabin and a large aft cabin, with a raised deck above it. The galley is located on the starboard side, at the foot of the companionway steps and includes a three-burner stove, plus an oven and a {{convert|12|cuft|m3|abbr=on}} icebox, with an optional refrigerator. There is a large chart table, which doubles as a work bench. There are two heads, one in the aft cabin with a shower and one in the bow cabin.
Ventilation is provided by opening ports and two hatches, one in the main cabin and one in the aft cabin.
The cockpit has a sheet winch, plus a mainsheet winch per side, on molded bases. The mast has two mounted halyard winches. The bow has an anchor roller.
