Catana 42 for sale

This 2015 Catana 42 is a high-performance cruising catamaran designed to offer a rare balance between speed, safety and comfort on extended offshore cruises. Designed by Christophe Barreau and built by the Catana shipyard using carbon, Kevlar and GRP vacuum infusion, it features a light, rigid structure perfectly suited to demanding offshore passages.
Fitted with retractable centreboards, it combines a shallow draught, ideal for anchoring in open roadsteads, with excellent upwind performance and reassuring seakeeping in all conditions. Its efficient hull and generous sail plan make it a fast and seaworthy catamaran, built for long crossings as well as fast coastal cruising.
The interior layout offers 4 double cabins and 2 shower rooms, with a panoramic saloon that is particularly bright thanks to excellent 360° visibility. The onboard organisation is designed for long-term cruising life, with a fully equipped functional galley, plenty of stowage and optimised natural ventilation, reinforced by several fans.
This Catana 42 is fully self-sufficient and equipped for long-distance voyaging: watermaker, substantial solar generation, recent lithium batteries, complete Raymarine and Garmin electronics, as well as a recent hydraulic autopilot. Together they form a modern, reliable energy and navigation system suited to offshore sailing.
The rig and sails are well maintained, with a fully battened mainsail, a recent roller-furling genoa and efficient handling equipment allowing sailing with a reduced crew. The two Volvo Penta D2-40 engines are regularly serviced and provide reliable, proven propulsion.
A well-kept unit, regularly updated and ready to sail, this Catana 42 represents a rare opportunity on the market for high-performance blue-water cruising catamarans, immediately operational for a circumnavigation or long-distance cruising project in the best conditions.
