Catana 40s

The Catana 40S designed by the renowned architect Lock Crowther is a fast cruising catamaran known for its lightness, performance, and reliability in offshore navigation. Weighing only 4.2 tons, this model is among high-performance catamarans capable of offering excellent sailing speeds while maintaining comfortable cruising conditions.

This 1992 unit underwent a major refit between 2022 and 2024. Work carried out in 2023 is particularly extensive, with structural reinforcement on the mast foot, spreader supports, and hull/deck junctions. The stainless steel rigging was also replaced, while the mast and boom were fully reconditioned.

The electrical system was entirely modernized with a 1520 W solar installation consisting of four panels and an 850 Ah lithium battery bank installed in 2023. The entire system is managed by a comprehensive Victron system including MPPT controllers and 375 W and 3000 W inverters. This system ensures significant energy autonomy onboard.

Water production is provided by a Seawater Pro desalinator capable of 70 liters per hour, installed in 2024, complemented by a rainwater harvesting system via the hardtop. The setup allows for full independence during extended voyages.

The interior layout includes three cabins, two double cabins and one single cabin. The saloon has been redesigned to offer a foldable table that can turn into a large bed. A workshop and storage area has also been integrated, practical for long journeys.

The kitchen is equipped with a 12 V fridge/freezer, a three-burner gas stove, an induction cooktop installed in 2021, and a 7 kg washing machine. The mattresses and cushions in the saloon and cockpit were replaced in 2023.

Outside, the cockpit has been fully optimized with a new table, a custom Airex hardtop, and an extended aft platform with a fishing prep station. Aluminum davits allow for storage of an Airex tender 2.8 meters with a Suzuki 9.8 HP engine.

Based in Papeete, French Polynesia, with taxes paid, this Catana 40S offers an excellent platform for extended cruising or around-the-world trips.
