Reef threshold
Estimated wind speed (~25mph) at which this boat should reduce sail, from beam, displacement, sail area, and center-of-effort height. Multihull-specific; higher is more stable.

~8.2kt in a 10kt breeze
Kelsall Sailing Performance Number: roughly predicts boat speed as this fraction of true wind speed. Multihull-specific.

Construction

Sources

Dimensions/displacement/sail area per an individual owner's listing (yachtsite.com, for hull 'S/V Eidos Cat'): LOA 19.00m/62'4", LWL 57'1", beam 9.10m/29'10", draft 10'2" boards down / 4'7" boards up, displacement 24.00t/52,910 lb, main 1,238 sqft, total upwind (main+genoa+self-tacking jib) 2,476 sqft -- cross-checked LOA/beam/displacement/mainsail against Multihulls World's technical-specifications page for the same model, which agrees on all four. That listing states this specific hull was 'built by Catana Shipyard in 2001'; used as the model's year_start given no separate model-introduction date was found, though it's sourced from one hull's build year rather than a manufacturer press date, so treated as approximate. Daggerboards (not a fixed keel), twin rudders. Hull GRP with PVC foam core sandwich; resin not explicitly named for this specific model in available sources, classified as vinylester per Catana's documented standard range construction (consistent with the Catana 53/65 entries in this dataset) rather than confirmed independently. Mast material not explicitly stated for this model; defaulted to aluminum absent a documented carbon option. Verified 2026-07-12. [Rudder/tankage/electrical update, 2026-07-16]: Spade rudders with self-adjusting JP3 bushings, Whitlock rack-and-pinion steering, protected by elliptical skegs around (not instead of) the spade blades. Fuel: sources conflict between a 1,400L/370gal headline figure and an itemized 2x600L+1x380L=1,580L breakdown; used the simpler headline figure. Water: 2x400L tanks = 800L/~211.3gal. No holding-tank or electrical-system data found.
