Catana 471 Owners version

DESCRIPTION

A good-looking, well-made, sturdy and comfortable performance catamaran with excellent long-distance performance, whatever the wind angle. Helming positions at the extremities of the boat give unbeatable views of the sails and you can see all corners of the boat from either position.

Aroha's husband and wife owners have recently completed a two year cruise from Europe to New Zealand. Her large cockpit has a great flow into the main saloon that can seat around 8 people with a sizable galley with a 400lt fridge to starboard and nav station off to port. A Fusion state of the art sound system will keep you in the mood while relaxing on board.

Being the much more desirable "Owners Version" featuring 3 cabins, the port hull has 2 double cabins, a separate toilet and shower, an extra deep freeze and a washing machine. The aft cabin also has a spare bed turning it into a 3-berth cabin.

Stepping into the starboard hull you will find an apartment-sized cabin that is dedicated to the owner. Aft is a large double bed with a TV set, forward is a separate large walk-in thermo controlled shower and toilet with a writing desk, library and storage, midships. A truly great living space.

Most sailing systems have redundancies such as 2 chart plotters, 2 autopilots 2 AIS and 2 sets of sailing instruments. 8 winches, 3 of which are electric, control the sails.

There are 2 Volvo Penta inboards and 2 x 330W solar panels.
