Catana is an undisputed reference in the world of high-performance cruising catamarans. Since its inception, the French brand has stood out for the solidity of its constructions and its focus on fast and comfortable sailing. In the specific case of the Catana 471 OCEAN CLASS, the model perfectly embodies this DNA. This 14.3-meter long and 7.7-meter wide unit, with a minimum draft of just 0.8 meters, represents a multihull designed for those seeking freedom and safety in long-range sailing, without sacrificing the comfort typical of the best catamarans on the market.

The unit offered here, registered in 2001 and currently located in El Campello, Alicante, is presented in used condition after undergoing a thorough renovation between 2024 and 2025. This update encompasses both functionality and aesthetics, from the teak cockpit deck and the stern ladder installed in 2025, to the upholstery in the salon and comfort elements in the cabins and bathrooms. The rigid bimini and the full cockpit cover enhance protection and enjoyment of life on board, while the renewed bow net and trampoline in 2024 provide that extra safety and deck space, highly valued by multihull sailors.

The design of the Catana 471 OCEAN CLASS, crafted by renowned naval architect Christophe Barreau, stands out for its remarkable balance between performance and habitability. Its reputation for close-hauled sailing is legendary within the cruising multihull segment, and thanks to a reinforced structure and weight optimization, the vessel offers speeds and sailing sensations that are hard to match in its category. Not surprisingly, this model is considered a modern classic, appreciated both in ocean crossings and demanding coastal cruising.

In terms of maneuverability, the rigging and sail plan have been updated to maximize the boat's potential. The tri-radial composite laminated DOYLE mainsail (2024) with full battens, the Doyle roller genoa (2024), and the gennaker with Karver furler (2024) ensure optimal performance under any condition. The sail arsenal is complemented by a self-tacking solent in good condition (2020) and an asymmetrical spi with cover (2015), while the aluminum and carbon rigging (2018) contributes to the robustness and lightness of the whole. Sail handling is facilitated by Harken winches in various positions, including an electric central winch, allowing for efficient sailing both with a reduced crew and with family or friends.

The Volvo Penta D2-55F engines, with one of the propellers installed new in 2024, provide the necessary power for maneuvering in port or motoring, supported by KIWI three-blade folding propellers (2025) and fuel tanks with great autonomy. The electrical system is designed for self-sufficiency, with 780 Ah lithium batteries (2021), BALMAR alternators (2024), inverter/charger, and a solar installation totaling up to 1880 W between the bimini and the stern gantry. The Lombardini 4 kVA generator (2024) and Victron regulators ensure stable and continuous power, even on long voyages away from port.

The interior meets the expectations of discerning sailors: three double cabins, each with its own bathroom and updated fixtures (2026), and a spacious central salon with new upholstery. The kitchen, equipped with a Force 10 three-burner stove and oven, a 200 L refrigerator (2024), a 100 L freezer (2023), and a 12 V water maker (membranes 2026), allows for extended stays without compromising comfort. The furniture and storage spaces are optimized for long voyages and life on board with family or friends.

In terms of navigation and safety, the latest generation Raymarine electronics (2024/2026), Doppler radar, hybrid GPS plotter, autopilot, AIS transponder, and Icom VHF (2024) ensure precise information and control in any situation. The safety equipment includes a distress beacon, liferaft, life jackets, a horseshoe buoy, and a first aid kit, meeting the highest standards for ocean voyages.

Located in the port of El Campello, Alicante, this multihull enjoys a strategic location in the Mediterranean, ideal for both coastal explorations and setting off on longer voyages. Due to its configuration and equipment, the Catana 471 OCEAN CLASS is particularly attractive to experienced sailors, adventurous families, or those looking to embark on great routes with safety, speed, and autonomy. An opportunity to access an absolute reference among used multihulls, ready for new voyages from day one.
