2023 Catana 51' _{(15.72 m)}

Over the course of four decades, the Catana shipyard has created and developed a long line of very successful and proven blue water cats that emphasize performance and dynamic comfort (i.e under way). With this latest model, the Catana 50 Ocean Class, the yard innovates like never before to push the boundaries of comfort and utility to a new level. The Catana 50 OC offers more interior volume, headroom, payload capacity, galley counter space, engine room space, than any of its predecessors. It boasts superb ergonomics on deck and vastly improved sail-handling with a raised helm that brings all lines to a large cockpit. All of this while conserving its trademark high bridge-deck clearance, efficient dagger-boards, outsized freeboard and inverted asymmetric bows. With a powerful 90 sq meter mainsail and overlapping genoa, the Catana 50 OC is all the thoroughbred that its predecessors were. No compromise has been made to offshore performance, reliability and safety. Catana 50 OC HEBY is hull #5 of this distinctive, new model. This 3 cabin/2 head layout is a 2023 model and shows like new in every department. The engines have 250 hours on them, the interior is immaculate, the sails and running rigging are crisp. The choice of options is well considered for reliable, long range voyaging. Upgraded 80 HP Yanmar engines for optimal power push Max Prop feathering props for improved maneuverability in port. The sail wardrobe includes genoa and gennaker with a self-tacking Solent track option installed. An upgraded 17.5 KVA generator keeps all amenities humming with the assistance of a Lithium house battery pack: full air-conditioning to the 3 cabins, household fridge-freezer with an expanded freezer capacity, Spectra water-maker to name the highlights. A large solar array and large engine alternators provide alternative sources of onboard power. Catana is the ultimate bluewater cruising machine and HEBY has been specified to exceed the reputation in every way.
