catamaran catana

Presentation of the group

CATANA GROUP enjoys the benefit of nearly 40 years of experience in the design and manufacture of CATANA CATAMARANS and BALI CATAMARANS. The men and women of CATANA GROUP all share the same passion for the sea, for technology at the service of boating, and for the professions of the boatbuilding world. The passion for top-of-the-range yachting is the driving force behind the group, which, combined with know-how and a constant strive for quality, has led to the creation of an unrivalled industrial tool at the service of innovation.

A SOLID GROUP

CATANA GROUP is a group totally focused on the manufacture and sale of catamarans. With 4 production sites (Three in France, one in Tunisia and one in Portugal) as well as a service base, the Group today employs more than 1,300 people, all of whom are united around the company's project. With strong growth since 2014, and constantly seeking innovative and eco-responsible concepts, CATANA GROUP has one of the best profitability rates in its sector and a very solid financial structure.

In 2003, Olivier Poncin sensed the demand for catamaran boats and took an interest in the legendary Catana brand, which went on to buy. A few years later, he realised that the “blue water” catamaran market was too small and did not provide the desired financial visibility. The decision was taken to attack the most significant part of the sailing multihull market, in the face of significant and legitimate competition. To meet the challenge, Olivier Poncin's solution was to innovate in an audacious manner. He imagined disruptive concepts that revolutionised the codes of sailing: a common space between the saloon and the aft cockpit, a tilting door and an integrated foredeck. In September 2014, the first BALI CATAMARAN was launched, the BALI 4.5, followed just a few weeks later by the BALI 4.3. Today, the Catana-BALI Catamarans shipyard builds over 300 boats a year. The gamble has paid off, the concept has gained worldwide legitimacy and meets the needs of a very large section of the clientele.

CATANA CATAMARANS

The CATANA brand benefit from 40 years of experience. Known for their reliability and performance, CATANA’s boats are perfectly balanced, fast and light in weight, ensuring low drag. Their slender, inverted bows allow them to achieve even higher speeds. The interior is fitted out with equipment designed for lightness: the ultimate in comfort and energy savings. With exceptional safety, CATANA CATAMARANS are easy to handle and their high-end level of comfort will carry you to all the seas of the world. Everything you need for fast and sustainable sailing across the oceans.

BALI CATAMARANS

BALI Catamarans offers an innovative, unique concept that has revolutionised the world of catamarans. Thanks to the pivoting aft door and the rigid foredeck platform, BALI Catamarans embody openness: openness to life, openness to the four elements and the five senses. The large windows and the door to the forward cockpit offer a natural 360° panorama. Space is given utmost importance at BALI Catamarans: the forward cockpit and the increased area (achieved by the BALI door) are key assets that distinguish BALI among all the players in the market. At a glance, a BALI is instantly recognisable among its peers.

YOT POWER CATAMARANS

The YOT brand is aimed at anyone and everyone looking for fun at sea. As a pure-player in the catamaran market, the Catana Group, with a range that is essentially sailing, had to offer power boats. And now we’ve done it. The new YOT power catamaran brand brings a breath of fresh air to the yacht sector. YOT meets the needs of novices and experienced enthusiasts alike and can be used for any purpose: whether it’s a day out or a romantic weekend, for a sporty or festive trip, as a couple or with friends. YOT has a style, a modern and trendy design, imagined for living intensely. YOTs are comfortable, stable and safe. Seaworthy, agile and powerful, their twin-hull design ensures excellent performance and comfortable passage through the water. Lively and fun, they combine power with reasonable fuel consumption.  

THE PRODUCTION SITES

Today, Catana Group counts 1,300 employees working on four boat production sites based in Canet-en-Roussillon in the South of France, the company's historic headquarters; in Marans, near La Rochelle on the Atlantic coast; and in El Haouaria (Cap Bon, Tunisia) and in Portugal. The Group is also equipped with an industrial joinery shop in Rivesaltes (on the Mediterranean coast), which allows the Group to be fully self-sufficient in the manufacture of its furniture. The Group also has a “Services” base, Port Pin Rolland, located in the marina at Saint Mandrier, near Toulon, also in the South of France.

An international presence

Brand: Catana

Jump to Catana Catamarans For Sale

Catana catamarans are the exception to the rule, as they specialize in semi-custom boats built with input from their future owner. In addition these are high performance cruisers. Each boat is built with carbon fiber in the inner skin and the SCRIMP resin infusion process. The sandwich construction also incorporates Twaron, a fiber that is 10 times more puncture resistant than classic fiberglass at half its density. The resulting weight savings and stiffness provided by this construction serves as the basis of Catana’s excellent performance. A combination which guarantees rigidity and strength of the structures, significant weight savings and because of this fact, higher speed. The hulls are asymmetric and canted outward. The bows are “tulip shaped” to increase reserve buoyancy and reduce pitching motion and the risk of burying a hull. Lastly, they are designed with daggerboards, which allows Catana catamarans to outpoint any other cruising catamaran brand afloat.

The deck and coachroof are fabricated from a single mold and cored with Corecell closed cell foam with a molded diamond-pattern nonskid. The helms are out on the hulls, as there’s nothing like the clear sightlines you get with an outboard helming station. Aboard a higher-performance cat, an outboard steering position also allows you see the rig easily when threading your way through the windshifts while, say, sailing to windward.

This is a fast cruiser-racer with slim, lightweight asymmetrical hulls. These lightweight cruising catamarans define the term ‘performance’. Daggerboards enhance hydrodynamic efficiency and a high bridgedeck clearance avoids wave slapping, and her top to bottom performance driven design aspects ensure excellent performance to windward.

Catana 44 (Chesapeake Bay)

We are selling our 1997 owners version Catana 44 catamaran which has been our family home for the last year. Designed by Lock Crowther and custom built at the French Catana yard, she is the only Catana with a factory-built, protected inside third helm station. She is a well built, high performance, ocean proven vessel. Her daggerboard design allows for greater performance when sailing upwind, and reduced drag when cruising downwind. An additional benefit of her shallow draft is the ability to drop anchor close to shore or navigate shallow cuts.…

Catana 471 (Florida)

S/V Orion II is a fully equipped, 2007 Catana 471 (hull #86) catamaran, for sale by owner and currently in Florida. She’s a beautifully maintained owner’s version with many recent upgrades  including new dinghy, water maker, batteries, solar panels, electronics, windlass and trampoline all bought within the last 2 years.

The Catana 471 is 1999’s Multihull Boat Of The Year by Cruising World Magazine. This model features dual helms aft for maximum sailing feel and control. The bridgedeck is high for wave clearance, and the daggerboards make for a great upwind performance. …

Catana Ocean Class 50 (Chesapeake Bay)

Demo Boat lightly used – Shown at boatshows – Condition of the sale: the boat must be made available to be displayed at the Annapolis boat show in October 2024 

This Catana Ocean Class 50, 3 cabins/2 heads, owner’s version provides a unique blend of performance, safety, and comfort from one of the best-known and most well-respected French catamaran builders.  

A mid-position protected raised helm with all lines leading to, for extra safety, the ability to completely open or enclose the salon to the elements and daggerboards for the best upwind sailing gives a perfect ocean sailing boat for couples, in comfort and style, with or without guests. …

Catana 50 (Caribbean)

Catana hit the mark with the 50 and this well-equipped 3-cabin version will be an excellent choice for island hopping or circumnavigation.

With all the bluewater options: generator, watermaker, solar panels, complete FURUNO Navnet electronics, electric toilets. A carbon mast, carbon bowsprit, a brand-new NORTH SAIL Norlam Xi main, a solent and a furling genoa (2020) round out this performance-oriented world cruiser. The interior features light oak veneers, grey upholstery and black Corian counter tops.

The boat was hauled for bottom paint, engine and saildrive services in 2022. The rigging was replaced in 2016.…

Catana 65 (Pacific)

Catana is widely acclaimed for building spectacular, blue water cats that marry sailing performance and luxury like no other brand. Catana 65 LIBECCIO raises the bar further still.

LIBECCIO’s second owners purchased her directly from the Catana factory in France in her original layout and configuration and sailed her for three years all over the Mediterranean. This cruising couple made the wise decision to store the yacht in Canet, at the Catana yard, each winter. There, they upgraded the yacht using only yard staff and contractors. This culminated in a transformative refit in 2017 that radically enhanced the aesthetic, comfort and functionality of this yacht.…

Catana 521 (Greece)

The Ocean class Catana 521 is designed to be a safe, fast ocean-crossing vessel. Designed as a performance cruiser these boats are ideal for those who are looking for more performance than a typical cruising catamaran while maintaining an excellent level of comfort and living amenities.

As with any performance boat avoiding excess weight is a key requirement and Catana introduced modern high-strength materials and advanced production techniques to achieve this goal. NIDARI has many new or upgraded features including electronics, sails, etc.

Catana catamarans are the exception to the rule, as they specialize in semi-custom boats built with input from their future owner.…

Catana 42 (Florida)

Zephyr is a beautiful example of the highly regarded Catana brand. She has the very desirable 3 cabin Owner’s Version layout and she is a factory upgraded Carbon Infusion model. The size of the Catana 42 is easily managed by a cruising couple or singlehanded sailor but still large enough to entertain guests. She sports daggerboards and a powerful sail plan for fantastic performance under sail. Zephyr is a proper blue water cruising catamaran that achieves an uncommon balance of performance and livability.

The Carbon Infusion designation means that the factory included extensive use of carbon fiber in her construction coupled with a resin infusion layup, which results in a lighter and stiffer boat.…

Catana 581 Owners Version (Greece)

2002 Catana 581 “BLUE MOON” is returning to the market after the owner has spent 9 beautiful years with her almost all around the world.

For those rare catamaran lovers who were not introduced to this model, this Catana’s 58 has set and still is a benchmark for all modern performance cruising catamarans. Cruising at speeds between 10-14 knots under sails (she recorded 24 knots if someone needs that information), and 9-11 knots under power with extra low fuel consumption due to her efficient performance hulls makes her a dream for long-distance cruising.…

Catana 40S (South Pacific)

When I was a wee lad of sixteen, I landed as an exchange student in Bairnsdale, Australia. It turned out that Bairnsdale was the home of Lock Crowther – a pioneering designer in the multihull renaissance that was soon to sweep the world. The locals at the Gippsland Lakes Yacht Club were aghast about these new-fangled catamarans that were winning all of the races. I kept quiet (as I was a guest aboard a stately monohull), but I was bitten by the multihull bug the moment I saw a Crowther cat glide effortlessly by.…

Catana Catamarans

Catana began building catamarans in 1984 thanks to two sailing enthusiasts: Jean-Pierre Prade and Thierry Goyard. They began building in Cogolin in the South of France. The company is now based in Canet-en-Roussillon, France. This article covers the history of this famous multihull yard.

Crowther’s Cats

In their early years, Catana became the world leader in fast-performance cruising catamarans helped by legendary Australian multihull designer Lock Crowther. Following the Crowther era, Christophe Barreau and Frédéric Neuman continued the success with a series of designs that remain popular to this day.

Like Nautitech catamarans , they favoured a more exposed helm position aft for maximum sailing feel – the sporty (monohull) set-up , if you like. The latest model (the Ocean Class 50) has a raised starboard helm.

The two original partners of Catana employed Lock Crowther to design a range of models from 38′ to 48′. The two directors (Goyard and Prade), both engineers, sailed for several years on multihulls,  including a round trip to Greenland, on a Lock Crowther design of course.

Later, a young architect called Christophe Barreau started working with Lockie on the deck & interior. The 411 design was credited to both men.

From Cogolin to Canet en Roussillon From 1984 to 1993, the Catana yard in Cogolin built around five to seven boats per year. In 1986 they started using  Twaron for the inner skin of the shell.

Catana moved to Canet en Roussillon in 1998 and the company was sold in 2000 to a group of investors. Prade left the boat business, but some years later Goyard opened XL Catamarans, also in Canet, selling high-performance catamarans (the TS50/TS52) designed by Barreau.

The Marsaudon Connection Before shutting up shop at XL Catamarans, Goyard commissioned Barreau to design the TS42 (now built by Marsaudon Composites in Lorient and one of the fastest 40′ performance cruising cats on the water.  Marsaudon had collaborated with Catana previously on the 521/522- they built a dozen of them under contract.

Barreau’s Boats Hull #1 of the C411 (now Pelagic) was the first model credited to Barreau, but Crowther’s name also pops up on this design. Crowther was probably retained as a consultant with Christophe Barreau taking the lead.

Barreau continued to develop the design DNA started by his mentor with asymmetrical hulls, tulip-shaped bows, a narrow waterline, and daggerboards for upwind sailing.

Lombard Advises More recently, Catana set up an in-house design studio and worked with the Marc Lombard Group as a consultant (another of my favourite multihull design teams and known for its Nautitech, Neel and Privilege designs).

Lombard is credited with designing the Catana 70, after which they brought the designs in-house, but you can still spot his influence in the shapes of the hulls.

Carbon Infusion Technology Catana remains a world specialist in fast cruising catamarans ranging from 42 to 90 feet, all designed for long-distance cruising and continues to be unique in that it builds boats using their Carbon-Infusion and Twaron processes.

The hulls, bulkheads, deck and furniture are all built in foam-cored sandwich, which make Catana Catamarans light and fast. Recent models have veered away from the super fast, light cats of their early years (Marsaudon have moved into this space), but they are no slouches particularly when the wind picks up.

Performance and Safety Catana focuses on producing fast, comfortable ocean crossers. Their yachts are above average on the performance front, though not as quick as others in lighter winds. It’s a segment of the market that is getting more competitive: HH for example has launched its OC50 catamaran which sits in this space.

The latest design is the Ocean Class, a 52-footer that launched in 2020 with a single raised bulkhead helm.

(Sorted by Year)

Catana 40, 40S (1984-92)

The Catana 40 was the very first model launched in 1984 when Catana was based in Cogolin in the South of France.

Hull #1 was called “Pêcheur de Lune” (Moon Fisherman). The first owners registered her on 25th July 1985 in Toulon. In 2019, she was restored by Alberto Machado and renamed “Oceanus”

There are 2 versions, the 40C (11 built? Hull #11 was launched in 1988) and the 40S. The plate above is from a 40S (Hull #15, 1995).

Fast Cat This cat is quick! She weighs only 5.8 tonnes, meaning she sails well even in light winds.  The bridgedeck was high for the time, so there was less slamming compared to the cruising cats of the time such as the Prout range.

And upwind, with her fine hulls and daggerboards, she was a real performer.

There’s not much space on her compared to modern cats, but the owners didn’t care as they were flying along.

Even so, she came with four double cabins- the limited space was well thought out: an excellent design that is very rare on the second-hand market.

Later Came the 40S The later 40S was built with a C39 deck mold and a 42 cockpit mold spliced together. An example is “Avighna” (1992) Hull #16.

The 40S has a narrower beam than the original 40C models which became the 42.

Catana 42S (1988?)

Another Lock Crowther creation, the Catana 42S was slightly longer and sleeker than the original 40C developed from the same moulds I believe. A lovely looking catamaran, especially from this angle. Around 20 were made.

An example is “ Paikea “, a 1990 42S.

Catana 37 (1989)

The smallest Catana, but pretty rare…

Catana 39 (1988)

Image Credit: Twilight (1993)

Another example is Tigre, a Catana 39S, hull #4.

Catana 44 (1992)

Another popular Lock Crowther design from Catana’s early days. This yacht evolved from the 42. A new wider hull mould was made using the same deck mould and that became the 44.

The 44 design was later lengthened and became the 48.

An example is S/V Pacific Hoodlum #10 (1994), a Catana 44S. Bruno Nicoletti famously completed a “Vito Dumas” circumnavigation on his Catana 44 named “Brumas Patagonia”.

Catana 48 (1992)

The 48 is probably the most sought-after of Lock Crowther’s early Catana designs. She has a much lower bridge deck than more modern Catanas but has a high power-to-weight ratio – she’s a fast cat.

The Catana 48 is a modified 44 with transom extensions and a bigger rig.

They also built two Catana 48Rs (Racing) which were stretched 42s and different from the standard 48s.

There were only eight 48s produced. I am not sure whether this number includes the 48Rs. Hull #8 was launched in 1996.

Catana 411 (1994)

The 411 design was credited to both Lock Crowther and Barreau. Shown is Pelagic, the #1 hull. The deck mold was hand-built and the boat was transported to the Paris Boat Show where it had to be sold to keep Catana afloat.

There were 29 411s built. Hull #29 (Darbrook) was built in 1999

Catana 381 (1995)

This is a quirky cat and Catana’s smallest. The big story is the aft central helm. I love it, they don’t make them like this anymore! I believe this model went up to hull #23. So, if someone tells you that Catana used to be famous for their twin aft hulls, you can put them right with this model.

Catana 531 (1996)

A Real Looker A large, powerful catamaran from Catana’s earlier days (90s). These boats remind me a bit of the early Lagoons – they are sleek. Nice looking cats.

Catana 471 (1997), 47 Ocean Class (2003)

With the launch of the 471, the Barreau/Neuman design partnership started to motor. This is one of my favourite Catana designs, they nailed it with this one. An example is “Our White Magic” (2002). Hull #45.

Another example is S/V Scenic Route #64

The last Catana 471 hull (#68) named “Element” was delivered in May of 2003. Then this model was marketed as the 47 Ocean Class until 2007.

The 471 is the best-selling Catana model to date and voted “Boat of the Year” in 1999 in the US.

Read our full Catana 471 review.

Catana 611 (1997)

Catana 431, 432 (1998),.

43 Ocean Class ( from 2003)

Launched as a kind of ‘mini 471’, the 431 shares many of the same design characteristics as the bigger boat. The Barreau Neuman team was finding their feet with these designs. A great balance between performance and comfort.

431 hull #54 Papillon, for example, was delivered in June 2003 with an Alucarbon mast. Other examples are S/V Icaros #48 (2002) and Rizkitt #10 (1999).

After the purchase of Catana by Poncin in 2003, this model was sold as the 43 Ocean Class.

Catana 721 (1998)

Catana 401 (1999).

The Catana 401 replaced the 381 and 411. These are very popular boats. The 401 was an updated 381 with a new cockpit mould from the cockpit bulkhead aft.

When Catana stopped production of the 401, they sold the moulds to Phisa, which lengthened them, made some other changes and sold it as the Phisa 42. They are worth a look, as the interior finish was upgraded on the Phisa.

Catana 472 (2000)

The 472 is a higher-spec version of the 471. Shown above is “El Gato”. Aesthetically, Catana hit top marks with these boats

Catana Aikane 56 (2000)

This 56-footer was designed by VPLP

Catana 581/582 (2000/2001)

Incorporating all of the design features that made these Christophe Barreau Catanas so sought after. This is a high-end performance cruising catamaran with narrow hulls, a high bridgedeck clearance, minimal weight forward of the mast, and high-aspect daggerboards instead of low-aspect keels.

You will struggle to find a better long-distance blue water cruiser than this boat.

Catana 521, 522 (2002)

Another Barreau/Neuman design from their “Purple Patch” years. If you are looking for a bigger version of the legendary 471, this is it. Marsaudon built a dozen of these fast cats under contract. They look like they could weather a storm, don’t they?

The Marsaudon Connection The last one was built in 2005: “Chaton”- this is a very fast boat with a carbon mast, that averages between 220 and 240 miles on longer passages: a true luxury performance cat. Another example is “O2” which was built by Dominique Marsaudon in Lorient in 2003.

Catana 50 (2006)

Catana went through some financial difficulties after the dot com crash in the early noughties, but they came roaring back with the Catana 50. This cat was well received thanks to its stable ride through the waves. The defining feature was that bulbous bow: a wave-piercing profile that minimised hobby-horsing and provided extra buoyancy.

The Catana 50’s boards are angled slightly inward to maximize lift under sail- she performs well upwind.

Catana 41 Ocean Class (2008)

This is very similar to the newer 42. The saloon layout is different from the later boat with the galley port forward.

Catana 65 (2008)

The 65 was one of the last Christophe Barreau designs for Catana. They were making some big catamarans at this point.

Catana 90 (2008)

The largest yacht that the shipyard has constructed is the Catana 90, like the example above, Orion. This is a sleek looker despite its length.

Catana 42 (2010)

The 42 is an updated version of the 41 that was launched 2 years earlier. The galley was moved to the aft of the salon and they improved some of the sail handling. Then they renamed her the 42, maybe in honour of that great early Lock Crowther design?

The 42 was named “Boat of the Year” in the US in 2014.

Catana 42 Brochure

Catana 82 (2010)

Launched from Catana’s large yachts division that was set up in 2006. The 82 is not the prettiest in the range (in my opinion, I am sure the owner would disagree). For me, it looks like they just stretched the smaller boats.

Catana 47 (2011)

The 47 is no longer part of Catana’s current line-up. We were hoping for her to get the new look like the 53, but the yard has moved direction to the newer Ocean Class range with a bulkhead helm. They seem to be moving more towards the comfort end of the spectrum, probably influenced by the success of the Bali range.

She is a very solid, seaworthy catamaran that is infused with carbon, and evolved from the 471 but doesn’t look as pretty.

Read our full Catana 47 review in the performance catamarans section.

Catana 59 (2011)

In 2013, the Catana 59 was designed by Marc Lombard working alongside Catana’s in-house team, and it caused something of a stir, as the 47 and 42-foot models were the only remaining Christophe Barreau designs.

The design philosophy later extended to the 53 and a modernised stretched version: the 62.

She has lovely lines: a high freeboard, good bridge deck clearance, and a generous sail plan. The new muscly look is an indicator of this cat’s performance.

Catana 70 (2012)

A very sleek design for such a large yacht, the 70 was designed by Marc Lombard. After this, Catana brought the design in-house, but you can still see Lombard’s influence in the later designs such as the 53. He was retained as a consultant.

Catana 70 Brochure

Catana 55 (2013)

Image Credit: Curie via Samboat

Catana 62 (2016)

The big sister to the 53, the 62 evolved from the earlier 59.

With its maxi hulls with inverted bows, foil-type daggerboards, Carbon Infusion and Twaron Impact technology, the C62 is one of the safest catamarans in its class.

Catana 53 (2017)

The 53 is the only remaining model in Catana’s current line-up apart from the Ocean Class. We are hoping that they will get back to widening the range in the future, but it looks like they will focus on the 50 Ocean Class and the Bali brand for now.

The living space is huge thanks to those twin aft helms and the Open design between the saloon and cockpit.

This model was awarded “Multihull of the Year” by Cruising World in 2017. Read our Catana 53 review in the performance cats section.

Catana 53 Brochure

We also have an Owner’s Review on this cat which is well worth a read. Thanks to Rowan on PolePole.

Ocean Class (2022)

The new Ocean Class is a 52-footer. This design is quite a departure for Catana as she has a single raised bulkhead helm. She’s a solid-looking design.

Catana Ocean Class Brochure

We first saw this model at La Grande Motte in 2022. Read our Catana Ocean Class review .

Catana Ocean Class 50 Review

We bought a catana oc 50 - the review.

We have just acquired a Catana Ocean Class 50 and we will take possession of the boat in September at the Cannes Yachting festival . We are beyond excited to embark on this journey of discovering the “virtues” of a performance cruising catamaran! We invite you to join us there to do a private walk-through of the boat during the show!

After a hiatus for some time to focus on the hugely successful Bali range, Catana has just released their Catana OC 50 performance cruiser that has the industry abuzz, including ourselves. This is not a super-fast performance boat like a an ORC50 or a TS but it offers a beautiful balance between performance and comfort that will no doubt be popular with the cruising community. The boat is light and strong, thanks to decades of experience in “carbon infusion” at Catana.

The new bulkhead helm station that is raised mid-position is a complete departure from their previous aft-helm positions and in our opinion, is a game changer! The open plan design which affords  spacious interior volume sets Catana apart from most other performance cruisers. This boat represents a perfect balance of performance, comfort and value that is quite unique in this market.

We have purchased hull #1 which is an owners version, fully equipped with generator, air-conditioning, American size fridge / freezer, additional fridges, Solar, Lithium batteries, full suite of sails including Code Zero and Spinnaker. Watch the video here where we discuss the design features and construction of the Catana OC 50.

Characteristics of the Catana Ocean Class 50

Catana started building catamarans in 1984 and is now based in Canet en Roussillon, France. With the help of legendary Australian multihull designer Lock Crowther early on, Catana became the world leaders in fast performance cruising catamarans. Many famous designers like Barreau (Marsaudon) have contributed to their reputation and their focus on producing fast, comfortable ocean crossers over the years. This iconic brand has produced some of the most talked about performance cats during their 30+ year history.

• Carbon Infusion Technology : Catana is a world specialist in fast cruising catamarans, designed for long distance cruising and continues to be unique in that it builds boats using an advanced Carbon-Infusion process. The deck and bulkheads are carbon and the hulls are foam core with vinylester resin infusion and added carbon in high stress areas. The furniture is built in foam-cored sandwich, which further reduces weight.
• Performance: The OC 50 has a large sail plan and so, even being a heavier boat, she will sail to windspeed. This catamaran should sail very well on all points of sail according to the Sail Area/ Displacement ratios of the boat. The boat is very responsive and accelerates quickly in small gusts of wind. Read our article Performance Catamaran Comparisons here>>
• Affordability – The boat is very competitively priced. Comparatively the Catana OC 50 is at a price point that is affordable for cruising couples. 
• Helm Position: The OC 50 has a bulkhead helm station (starboard) that is raised mid-position. This is a departure from Catana’s previous aft-helm positions and is a game-changer in our opinion. Not only is the visibility from the helm to all 4 corners good, but all the lines also run back to the helm. A sliding window opens fully to connect the raised helm station on the starboard side with the interior living space

• Bridgedeck Clearance: The boat has a high freeboard and an almost 3-foot clearance which will make this boat a quiet ride even in big seas. This boat sits high in the water, which will help to power through big waves. Bridgedeck clearance on a catamaran invites a wide difference of opinion among sailors. But what we all agree on is that good clearance is very important for the seaworthiness and comfort of a catamara n.

• Daggerboards: Ease of handling of the daggerboards is a big consideration for us. On the Catana they are push button controlled with a flat winder and can easily be lowered or retracted. A daggerboarded cat will sail consistently higher into the wind than a cat with keels.   It will also sail faster, on average, than a catamaran with fixed keels.

• Interior: The interior sets Catana apart from most performance cruisers. The open plan design maximizes the living space on one level and ensures ample interior spaces and comfort for live aboard couples. The salon is extremely spacious with two seating areas, an L-shaped galley, big forward facing nav station and sliding aft doors. The owners cabin is spacious with semi walk around bed, huge bathroom, lots of storage and washer / dryer. Simply put, this boat has more interior space than any other performance cat in this size range.

In 2013, the Catana 59 designed by the in-house design team in association with Marc Lombard caused something of an internal revolution, as the 47 and 42 foot models were the only ones still in the range which had been drawn by Christophe Barreau.  The spinoffs from the 59 had carried on and we now have the 53 which we expect to see in the spring of 2017 along with the recently launched 62.  We had the chance to try out this big cruising catamaran in testing conditions (big wind and big seas) during a dynamic delivery of 140 miles across the Golfe du Lion in the Mediterranean.

The Easy version sailplan already shows great potential. A Performance version with carbon mast and D4 membrane sails is available for sporty crews

The Catana style has been redesigned, evolving towards a “contemporary functional luxury”

The panoramic view from the 62 is exceptional. The moveable bulkhead disappears almost completely behind the galley

The choice of materials is subtly rational, favoring ease of upkeep and resistance to knocks from life on board

Suede deckheads (Alcantra effect), leatherette linings, leather-style upholstery and contemporary design

Port aft guest cabin: the same comfort and same quality as found in the owner’s hull

Absolutely remarkable bathrooms (light, faucets, draining floors, ventilation)

A perfectly accessible engine room, carefully insulated and with the motors set well forward in the boat, for better weight centering

135 miles in 12½ hours at an average of 11 knots. One happy boat tester!

Presentation of the largest kraftliner production site in Russia took place at the 27th International Exhibition of the Packaging Industry RosUpack

The presentation of the Big Ust-Ilimsk Project, involving the construction of Russia’s one-of-a-kind pulp and board (KLB) mill in the Irkutsk Oblast, was one of the key events at RosUpack 2023. When speaking at the plenary session on corrugated board packaging market development, Alexey Chenyaev, Ilim’s Senior Vice President, Sales, Supply Chain Management and Packaging, focused on the advanced manufacturing and environmental solutions implemented at the new KLB Mill and prospects for sales market expansion it will secure.

After KLB Mill ramp-up (600,000 tons of kraftliner per year), the total annual output of Ilim Group will amount to 4.3 million tons. The Company will be one of the world’s largest producers of unbleached packaging materials and will strengthen its leadership in the Chinese market of wood-free corrugated materials with a share of approximately 50 to 60%.

Ilim’s booth with an area of 140 m2 was one of the largest one at the site and was operated by about 50 experts from Sales and Corrugated Box Business Management Departments. The booth was attended by over 60 key accounts and more than 120 representatives of various companies, including such major ones as Heinz, MARS and KDV-Group.
