2002 Catana 471

This 2002 Catana 471 is a 47-foot fiberglass catamaran built with Twaron aramid fiber integrated into the hull for strength and impact resistance. Twin Volvo diesel engines produce 110 horsepower each, delivering a cruising speed of 6 knots and maximum speed of 8 knots. The daggerboard design supports efficient sailing characteristics, with a sailplan suited to single-handed or paired operation.

The boat has been extensively cruised across multiple oceans, including the Atlantic crossing, Caribbean, and Pacific regions. Throughout her service, she proved capable and manageable with minimal crew. The accommodation layout supports extended cruising with systems engineered for self-sufficiency.

Power generation includes substantial solar arrays with modern control systems, a generator, and contemporary battery banks designed to support independent cruising. The fiberglass hull and integrated composite construction reflect Catana's approach to durability and weight management in catamaran design.
