VISIONA 40 CATAMARAN BY BALTEC ENGINEERING, VERY GOOD CONDITION

SY Yara is not just a catamaran: it is a rare example of German craftsmanship, expedition-level engineering, and proven reliability across all the oceans of the globe. Designed by the renowned naval architect Stefan Schulz and built by Baltec Engineering GmbH, this Visiona 40 embodies the philosophy of boats designed to safely cross oceans with efficiency and comfort.

Its all-wood epoxy construction gives it exceptional structural stiffness, excellent thermal comfort, and long-term durability, significantly superior to traditional series catamarans.

What truly sets Yara apart is its exceptional pedigree: it has completed two and a half circumnavigations, proof of its robustness and meticulous maintenance. Yara is an exceptionally well-prepared cruising catamaran, fully autonomous and ready for a new circumnavigation without major additional investment
