The Casamance 45 is considered a “classic” in multihull circles. This model helped establish the Fountaine Pajot brand and remains a reference bluewater cat. Long, narrow hulls, very good bridge-deck clearance and clever weight distribution give it excellent sea-keeping qualities.

S/V Catalyst began life as a 1988 Fountaine Pajot 46 Casamance, but her transoms were replaced with a better design incorporating steps, storage and transom shower, giving her a total length of 48 ft.
She has a variety of upgrades in 2022 including an engine overhaul, teak seating in the cockpit, and a new bimini and front windscreen. Many more upgrades detailed in the listing.
Catalyst is long enough to have good accommodations without sacrificing sailing performance and ability.
