Major price improvement due to a recent survey which reported moisture intrusion to the deck, which is not uncommon for a vessel of this age. No structural damage or delamination was reported and the coring is foam above the solid glass core below waterline in the hulls. Topside core is balsa. A moisture survey was subsequently commissioned by an independent surveyor to confirm the status since prior surveys conflict with this information. Recent survey results indicated that the boat shows elevated moisture levels in the topsides and upper hulls. Full report available upon request.
The vessel comes complete with all stores, a full complement of tools, spares, and misc dive gear. She is a very comfortable live aboard with a roomy, well thought out galley-up design, handy to the big cockpit table. The master cabin (port) and two guest cabins (starboard) have queen beds, with a third twin sized cabin in the starboard forepeak for extra crew or guests. The two heads are electric and each have a dedicated shower. Her solar array provides plenty of power. Brand new, never used Max Prop Easy 2-blade props!
Designed by Lock Crowther and custom built at the French Catana Yard, she is also the only Catana 44 with a factory-built, protected inside third helm station! She is a well built, high performance, proven ocean-going 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. The hull and deck were laid up using vacuum bagged polyester isophthalic resin cored with closed cell foam with unidirectional cloth for outer laminate and anti-osmosis epoxy resin below the waterline. The hulls were reinforced with Twaron inner laminate.
Discerning and knowledgeable multihull sailors are well aware that the Catana design concept encompasses quality and strength of construction, comfortable and ergonomic accommodations and fast, seaworthy designs capable of long distance blue water cruising in ease.
