Catana 50 used

XBOAT ref: 6206.br / Still very popular on the market for fast cruising catamarans, this 2011 CATANA 50 was managed 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 boat’s shortcomings and upgrade its equipment, making it a safe and comfortable vessel for long-distance cruising. This program was limited to exploring the Caribbean, the Atlantic coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canada, as it was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. A repatriation by cargo ship during the pandemic allowed the boat to be returned to the Mediterranean..A 2017 set of sails—including a mainsail, solent, and gennaker—enables dynamic sailing with excellent visibility thanks to the two helm stations on the aft console. The two centerboards provide very effective upwind performance..The LOUARN features four double cabins: the two aft cabins have twin beds that can be converted into a double, and the two forward cabins each have their 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 chart table, which is oriented toward the bow, and an L-shaped saloon with a folding and telescoping table..In terms of equipment, it is fully equipped for long-distance cruising, featuring a generator, watermaker, solar panels, refrigerator and freezer, ice maker, and a complete electronics package including Iridium, etc. The two 75-hp Volvo engines offer reasonable fuel consumption of 4.5 L/h each at 7 knots..In short, a boat that has seen better days but still has plenty of potential for a new sailing project—and at a very reasonable price!
