Performance
Powered up for speed; expect more sail handling in a breeze.

Ultralight
Very light displacement, typically race-oriented.
Comfort ratio

Coastal cruiser
Motion will feel quick/lively offshore.
Stability factor

Reef threshold
Estimated wind speed (~26mph) at which this boat should reduce sail, from beam, displacement, sail area, and center-of-effort height. Multihull-specific; higher is more stable.

~8.1kt 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 per SailWiki (LOA 20.3m/66.6ft, LWL 19.46m/63.85ft, beam 9.55m/31.33ft matching an independent aggregator's 31.36ft, draft 1.2-1.3m/~4ft board up to 2.95m/9.68ft board down, displacement 22,065kg/48,647lb light). A secondary aggregator (itboat/Multihulls World) cites a slightly shorter LOA (64.63ft) and a larger, differently-split sail area (main 1496 sqft alone, upwind total 2411 sqft) -- used SailWiki's internally-consistent LOA/LWL/beam/draft set and its 'main + self-tacking jib' total of 199 sqm/2142 sqft (not split into main/jib given the conflict) rather than mixing figures across sources. Twin daggerboards (not a fixed keel). Hull foam-sandwich, vinylester resin with Twaron aramid and carbon reinforcement in high-load areas, per Catana's documented standard range construction (same process used across the marque, e.g. the Catana 53 in this dataset) -- resin not independently re-confirmed for this specific model. Carbon mast explicitly confirmed (vacuum-infused, carbon-reinforced construction). Production span uncertain: sources disagree on whether it ran to 2011 or 2013, left year_end null. Verified 2026-07-12. [Rudder/tankage/electrical update, 2026-07-16]: Twin transom-mounted rudders with direct mechanical steering feel at the aft helm stations (spade type inferred from Catana's standard architecture, explicitly confirmed for the related Catana 582 below). Fuel 1,500L/396gal, water 800L/211gal. No holding-tank or electrical-system data found.
