Dimensions/displacement/sail area per boat-specs.com. draft_ft is the boards-down figure (9'10"); boards-up draft is 4'11". Hull sandwich PVC foam/fiberglass/vinylester, vacuum infused, with signature reverse-angled bows. Fractional sloop, aluminum spars, 1x19 discontinuous standing rigging. Won 2019 Cruising World Boat of the Year (Cruising Multihull Over 50 Feet). Verified 2026-07-12. [Rudder/tankage/electrical update, 2026-07-16]: Transom-hung twin spade rudders inferred from Catana's standard performance-cat architecture (explicitly confirmed for the related Catana 582 and Catana 65 below; not independently re-confirmed for this specific model). Fuel 860L/~227.2gal, water 800L/~211.3gal. Curved daggerboards (leeway resistance, not rudders) are this yard's signature design element. No holding-tank or electrical-system data found.
