Catana 50 Sail Catamarans For Sale

The Catana 50 Ocean Class is presented in the listings as a performance‑oriented bluewater catamaran combining a focus on offshore capability with increased interior volume and improved ergonomics. Construction incorporates what the builder describes as carbon infusion techniques to achieve a light, strong structure; the hulls and daggerboards are reported to have been the subject of hydrodynamic study and to support efficient passage‑making and upwind performance.

Hull and appendage features cited include efficient daggerboards, high bridge‑deck clearance, outsized freeboard and inverted asymmetric bows. Sailplan options shown across listings include a powerful mainsail (reported at about 90 m2), overlapping genoa, a self‑tacking Solent track option, furling genoa, gennaker and a carbon mast with carbon bowsprit. Specific sails noted in the listings are a NORTH SAIL Norlam Xi main and a Solent plus furling genoa fitted in 2020 on one example; another example had rigging renewed in 2016.

Deck layout emphasizes sail‑handling and helm ergonomics: a mid‑position protected raised helm brings all lines aft to a large cockpit, and the salon can be opened or enclosed to the elements. This arrangement is described as improving safety and making sail control accessible from the cockpit for short‑handed or offshore use.

Accommodation and finish vary by boat but the 3‑cabin/2‑head owner layout is repeatedly referenced. Interiors are shown with light oak veneers, grey upholstery and black Corian countertops. The model is described as offering increased headroom, galley counter space and engine‑room access compared with earlier Catana designs.

Systems and equipment specified in the listings reflect long‑range voyaging capability: upgraded Yanmar engines (noted as 80 HP in one hull with approximately 250 hours), Max‑Prop feathering propellers, a 17.5 kVA generator on a demonstrator hull, Spectra watermaker, large solar array and enhanced alternators, lithium house battery pack, full air conditioning to three cabins, household fridge‑freezer with expanded freezer capacity, complete Furuno Navnet electronics and electric toilets. Maintenance items recorded in listings include haul‑outs for bottom paint and engine/saildrive service.

Across the examples shown, the Catana 50 is described consistently as a bluewater cruising platform that retains the marque’s emphasis on sailing performance while adding increased liveaboard volume, updated sail handling and a suite of systems intended for extended offshore use.
