Catana 50 used

XBOAT ref :6206.Still very popular on the market for fast cruising catamarans, this 2011 CATANA 50 was operated as a charter vessel from 2012 to 2016 by Dream Yacht Charter in Martinique. A complete refit was carried out during the first six months of 2017 to address the charter vessel’s shortcomings and upgrade its equipment so that it could become a safe and comfortable boat for a long-distance cruising program. This program was limited to exploring the Caribbean, the U.S. Atlantic Coast, and Atlantic Canada, as it was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The yacht was transported back to the Mediterranean on a cargo ship during the pandemic..A 2017 set of sails—including a mainsail, solent, and gennaker—allows for fairly dynamic sailing with perfect visibility thanks to the two helm stations on the aft console. The two centerboards provide excellent upwind performance..LOUARN is a version with four double cabins: the two aft cabins feature twin beds that can be converted, and the two forward cabins, each with its own bathroom. The saloon is bright, finished in light wood, with a U-shaped galley that opens onto the cockpit—a very welcome feature—and is very well equipped. It faces the full-size chart table, which faces forward, and an L-shaped saloon with a folding, telescoping table..In terms of equipment, it meets the needs of long-distance cruising with a generator, watermaker, solar panels, refrigerator and freezer, ice maker, and a full suite of electronics including Iridium, etc. The two 75 cv Volvo engines offer reasonable fuel consumption of 4.5 L/H each at 7 knots..In short, a boat that’s seen better days but still has plenty of potential for a new sailing project—and at a very reasonable price!
