Catana 42

This 2015 Catana 42 is a high-performance cruising catamaran designed to offer a rare balance between speed, safety, and comfort on long voyages. Designed by Christophe Barreau and built by the Catana shipyard using a carbon infusion process, Kevlar, and GRP, it benefits from a lightweight, rigid structure perfectly suited for demanding offshore navigation.

Equipped with retractable daggerboards, it combines a shallow draft ideal for sheltered anchorages with excellent performance upwind and safe seaworthiness in all conditions. Its efficient hull and generous sail plan make it a fast and seaworthy catamaran, suitable for long crossings as well as quick coastal navigation.

The interior layout features 4 double cabins and 2 bathrooms, with a notably bright panoramic saloon thanks to excellent 360° visibility. The onboard organization is designed for long-term living, with a functional fully equipped galley, ample storage, and optimized natural ventilation, enhanced by several fans.

This Catana 42 is fully autonomous and equipped for extensive journeys: desalinator, significant solar power generation, recent lithium batteries, comprehensive Raymarine and Garmin electronics, and a recent hydraulic autopilot. All together, it forms a modern, reliable navigation and energy system suitable for offshore sailing.

The rig and sails are well maintained, with a fully battened mainsail, a recent in-mast furling genoa, and efficient handling equipment allowing for sailing with reduced crew. The two Volvo Penta D2-40 engines are regularly serviced and provide reliable, proven propulsion.

A well-maintained vessel, regularly updated and ready to sail, this Catana 42 presents a rare opportunity on the market for high-performance cruising catamarans, immediately ready for a world tour or long-distance cruising under optimal conditions.
