Best Catamarans Over 50 Feet

All kinds of high-end luxury sailing you could ever imagine can be experienced on Catamarans Over 50 Feet. It just depends on the boat at hand. Why spend your holiday cruising or liveaboard on a monohull when comfortable catamarans exist?

A catamaran is quite different from a regular monohull. Catamarans are typically designed with two equal-sized hulls and derive their stability from their wide beam; unlike a one-hulled boat deriving stability from a loaded undersurface.

The average catamaran is 38-47 feet in size. Usually, they are equipped with four large cabins with double or queen-sized beds, each cabin having an in-suite head. These vessels, originally designed for fishing, have, over the years, evolved and have become very popular in recent years. Lately, many boatbuilders are focusing more and more on building large catamarans over 50 feet as more and more people are starting to liveaboard and put more emphasis on comfort and luxury than their sailing performance.

In 2011, the biggest catamaran ever was built by Pendennis Shipyard in the UK, at 145 feet in length! It is equipped with a trampoline, a jacuzzi and can accommodate 12 guests in 5 cabins. This boat is designed to accommodate all the luxuries and adornments that can be found on a watercraft.

Here are the best sailing catamarans over 50 feet, in no particular order.

Length: 50 Feet

Price: From $500k to $1.5 Million USD On the Used Market

Back in 2019, the Lagoon 50 was awarded the best multihull of Sail Magazine. A product of the world’s largest boat manufacturer Lagoon, established in 1984, is majorly famous for the design and construction of cruising catamarans, which infuse top-notch designs, upscale comfort, and great sailing performances to one’s boating experience. Every detail is carefully thought out to establish novel and spacious architecture with a homely ambiance.

It’s a perfect balance between the model Lagoon 450 and the lofty 52. The Lagoon 50 has an encompassing view, generous volumes with a self-tacking jib, and a shorter mast for easily simplified maneuvers. It has two cockpits, one large one facing the sea and the other for seating at foredeck or on a deck chair. The hulls being large enough to contain more than 2 cabins, you can have up to six cabins. Italian agency Nauto Design Studio set a standard for their innovative interior designs every time. This vessel boasts of a unique brand signature, providing increased performance and a detailed wood finish to be fitted for the owner. Unconventional lines are linked with luxury, versatility, and a layout of technical options to cater to everyone’s needs.

Length: 52 Feet

Looking for something contemporary and luxurious? Lagoon 52 takes the cake in that way. This boat signified a new stage in the design of cruising catamarans. The Lagoon 52 is a product of the prolonged conversations between Lagoon’s customary VPLP, Nauto design agency, and the Lagoon design department. It comes in two versions: The Lagoon 52 FlyBridge, known as Lagoon 52F, and Lagoon 52 SporTop.

The combination of onboard comfort with its sailing performance is perfect and in sync. The wide side decks allow easy movement onboard. The cockpit and saloon also offer spacious living areas. The vertical bows of the boat have a diamond-shaped appearance with diagonal shaped hull and a lifting deck house.

The boat is easily accessible and safe thanks to the open rear skirts. Most of the features in this luxurious watercraft can be found in the aforementioned Lagoon 50. It has a perfect blend for its easy use, a comfy, elegant interior, amazing space, and lighting. You’re sure to get your money’s worth with the LAGOON 52.

Privilege Series 5

Price: Around $1-1.5 Million USD

At 50 feet, this boat is quite marvelous and a privilege to spend your time in as a cruiser or owner. The Privilège Series 5 is the world’s first 50 feet sailing catamaran. This vessel was built by Privilège Marine, a French company based in Les Sables-d’Olonne, France. They are famous for building premium luxury catamarans and designed by French Naval Architect Marc Lombard. The Privilège Series 5 is equipped with three or four double and a full-sized owner’s cabin located in the yacht’s center. It’s a lightweight boat at 48500 pounds and could go up to 52900 depending on the size.

It has great customization options, and it can be designed to suit the boat owner’s taste. The attention to detail on the boat is nothing short of perfection as the interior design, woodwork, safety measurements laid out by the boat’s design, aesthetics, ventilation, etc., was thought out good. The vessel’s finishing is really phenomenal as everything has a high level of craftsmanship.

Leopard 50L

Length: 50 Ft 6 In

Price: Around $1 Million USD

The Leopard 48, which was launched in 2012, was one of the most popular cruising cats ever designed. But the design was beginning to become dated, even as new orders kept coming in. So, Robertson & Caine, who build the Leopard cats, set out to improve on what was already great. The new 50 was their answer and comes with many innovations that will make owners happy. We test sailed the 50L last winter in Florida. The L version has the optional lounge on top of the hardtop over the cockpit. Unlike some cats with flying bridges and lounges up high, the 50L doesn’t feel like a layer wedding cake.

The steering station is a traditional raised helm to starboard, and the lounge is just up a few stairs from there. The helmsman is in contact with those in the main cockpit and those in the lounge. Out sailing, we got the 50L up to 10 knots in a good breeze, so the boat is fast. It is also commodious and will make a very comfortable home for a family or a charter party.

Seawind 1600

The new Seawind 1600 has been in the works for a while and has finally arrived on the market. The Reichel Pugh design is a departure from the more conservative looks of the other Seawinds and embraces a very Euro-style with plumb bows, hard chines, a swept-back cabin, and a large open cockpit with helm stations on both sides. The boat is a pure performance cruiser that was conceived as a blue water voyaging boat for a family. At 52 feet, it falls within the size range that an experienced couple can handle, so it would make a great platform for a couple to explore the world.

The whole look of the boat, with its large reverse curving arches and cat’s eye windows, says right out loud that you need to pay attention. The boat itself is a very modern design with a classic and comfortable interior. It sails better than most of its peers in the 50-foot range and is set up cleverly so one watchstander can hand, reef, and steer all from the protected comfort of the raised steering station. Tomas and Sara, who build the boats in South Africa, are veteran cruisers and owned hull number one of the X5 line before taking over the company. Their attention to detail and the innovations they have incorporated into the boats all stem from their time living aboard and blue water sailing.

The impeccable elegance of the interior with a lavish owner’s suite and the boat’s perfect wood quality are two great reasons to make you get the boat.

Followed closely by its outstanding exterior, you’re sure to fall in love with it on sight, from the cockpit to the foredeck. With an impressive platform and lustrous profile, the Privilède 615 contradicts the volume and versatility of its interior. One wonders how they fit into the other, gives it a great ambiance.

Multihull impresario, dealer, and broker Phil Berman (The Multihull Company) has sold more multihulls over the last 30 years than just about anyone. His latest project has been the development of the Balance line of performance cruising cats. The queen of the line is the Balance 526 that was introduced a few years ago and has proven to be a very successful player in the 50-foot plus segment of the cat market. Built in South Africa by noted composite experts, the 526 offers a well-conceived combination of great sailing performance and luxury living in a boat that can be handled by an experienced couple.

The boat has plenty of innovations, among them a helm that can be tilted up so you can steer from the raised helm station or tilted down so you can steer from the protection of the cockpit. Very cool. The design does not take any particular element to the “extreme.” Instead, Berman and his crew have sought to provide a boat that is truly well balanced in all aspects. And, they’ve done it.

Length: 51 Feet

The rest of this article will take a closer look at the best catamarans under 50 feet. I will explain what you need to know about them, reveal price estimates, and ensure your future cat matches your lifestyle.

Table of Contents

What Is a Catamaran?

A catamaran is a wind-powered sea vessel made of two hulls. The hulls are separated with a deck in the middle which encompasses the saloon. Many sailors use catamarans for leisure because they make excellent vacation homes on the water. 

However, most catamarans are pricey. You can expect to spend between $200,000 and $1M for a vessel in good condition on the used market.

What Are the Best Catamarans Between 40 and 50 Feet?

The best catamarans between 40 and 50 feet include the following:

The Leopard 50 is the replacement for the Leopard 48. It sits at 50 ft (15.24 m) long, powered by two 57 hp Yanmar engines. Used models start at a whopping $800k.

The exterior of the vessel boasts endless high-end features. You’ll get a table, a sunbed, and a roomy lounge on the flybridge area of this boat. However, you can spice things up with shade awning and exterior speakers, though you have to order these separately.

Getting to the flybridge from the side deck is easy, thanks to the carefully designed floating stairs, masterfully fitted in. A signature design move from this brand is that the flybridge now links to the helm station on most of the models. 

Read my article to understand pros and cons of a flybridge!

The Leopard 50 is no different. The spacious lounge also acts as protection for the helm station behind the bulkhead. You’ll also get a clear line of sight and movement to the aft cockpit for a flawless journey. Passengers can move freely across the flybridge without interfering with the boom, which is in stark contrast to other catamarans similar to the Leopard 50.

Overall, the exterior design of the Leopard 50 is fantastic. It’s hard not to look at any further customizations as extravagance. On the inside, it’s no slouch either. You get a utility room, five independent cabins, and 6-12 berths. The vessel also boasts 4-6 showers onboard, and the interior décor features classy materials.

• The 50 feet size ensures it has very wide interior spaces.
•  It’s designed to sail well upwind.
• The mechanical and structural composition makes it one of the most seaworthy boats in this range.
• The boat design can be a bit sleeker, hence the slow sailing.
• The model’s high boom can make it harder to operate the mainsail, this also moves the center of gravity up .
• The Leopard 50 is a slow-moving ship in low winds.

The Lagoon 42 is the scaled-down version of the Lagoon 52 designed by Van Peteghem-Lauriot Prévost (VPLP). It measures 42 ft (12.80 m) and boasts two 42 hp Yanmar engines. Price-wise, expect to splurge between $620,000 and $850,000 on the used market. 

The two main features that distinguish this model from other popular Lagoon models are:

• A relocated mast to ensure proper balancing of the gross weight and reduce pitching. 
• A beautiful silhouette that gives the boat a unique look. The design is part of the exterior styling spearheaded by Patrick Le Quément.

The smaller boom and the self-tacking genoa make the Lagoon 42 a bit more compatible for short-handed sailing. You get lots of room in all the lounges across the boat—from the cockpit down to the saloon. There’s also excellent ventilation on the wide flat decks, thanks to the flush opening hatches. Access to the boom is simple, as the vessel has safe and sturdy stairs that lead to the upper deck and helm station.

With the helm station on top of the coach bulkhead roof, mobility and communication between the cockpit and saloon are a breeze. The interior of the boat has four cabins. The forward has beds that passengers can access from the side, while the aft options have an island bed.

• The deck layout is one of the best you’ll find.
• The single-level design from the saloon to the aft platform is an interesting deviation from the norm.
•  Short-hand sailing is easy due to the self-tacking genoa.
•  It’s one of the pricier options in the market.

The Lagoon 46 is another high-quality catamaran from VPLP with an overall length of 45 ft (13.72 m). It receives its power from two 45/57 cv CR engines, and it’ll set you back around $500,000 for a used model. The overall design is a refreshed approach that guarantees better performance than the preceding models. 

The first noticeable design change is the narrowed down water lines flared out inboard. This combination dramatically improves the volume on the inside of the boat. The results are a bit more pronounced on the cabins in the forward area, making it easier for you to have the same bed size on the abaft and front.

The Lagoon 46 also has a high-tech cradle-like davit system accompanied by a Bimini roof that’s a lot less weighty than what you’ll find on older models. The boat’s flybridge features a large enough area for sunbathing, connected to the two side decks directly. Meanwhile, the reserved storage space on the boat has also had a bump in this model.

With the mast located at the aft position at the top of the boat, it’s no surprise that there’s a self-tacking genoa on it. The interior décor of the ship looks as exquisite as the price range suggests. Most of the finishes are either Alpi or light wood oak, with rounded edges prioritized a great deal.

• The accessible double-side beds in the cabins are an excellent addition.
• The size of the vessel means there’s some limit to where it can safely pass while out on the water.

The Bali 4.1 is one of the lower-priced catamaran models in the used market today. It’s a 40 ft (12.19 m) vessel powered by two 20 hp engines and priced around $400.000 .

This design from Naval architect Xavier Faÿ and Lasta Design Studio improve upon the earlier 4.0 model. In other words, you can expect the best features from the older model and some improvements. 

This is a model known for its seaworthiness, meaning the foredeck space provides some rigidity and offers protection from water spray while out on the sea. Although some would argue that the solid deck forward of the mast could be an offshore issue.

If you want to better understand why solid decking might be an issue, read my article on w hat trampolines are and how they impact safety .

The boat’s saloon is large and protected by a glossy pivot door, and the deck has lots of space to accommodate sunbathers. The fore cockpit is large enough to fit a small crew without the space feeling cramped. Since it sits in an elevated position, the helming station delivers excellent visibility for sailors.

The windows are designed to open with a retracting or gliding mechanism, so you’ll enjoy excellent ventilation in most of the living areas on the boat. Some of the new features added to the Bali 4.1 include new bench seats in the back cockpit, large side lockers, a platform connection for the two hulls, and more. 

Overall, this is an excellent vessel you can count on to deliver a smooth sailing experience.

• The foredeck offers incredible amounts of usable space.
• It delivers less floating and a lot more stability.
• The deck layout and deck camber are great and rid water quickly.
• A solid foredeck makes for a more usable exterior area.
• The Interior layout is excellent!
• Boom might be situated too high for some sailors.
• Quite a slow vessel.
• Some sailors report issues with the “garage door style” saloon door leaking.

Nautitech 46

With the Nautitech 46, you’re sure to get nothing but pleasure, comfort, and elegance. You can expect to spend between $500,000 and $800,000 for this used 46ft (14.02 m) super vessel, with the two Volvo Penta engines combining for 80 hp of sailing power. The vessel architecture and design were handled by Marc Lombard and Roseo Design, respectively.

The catamaran has two models known as the Open and the Fly ( flybridge setup ). The Open variant is the “original” version. While the models are the same under the hood, the major difference lies in the deck variations. The Fly delivers a flybridge space for the passengers and captain, with unforgettable views in all directions.

The Nautitech 46 Open has a 4-cabin version that can carry eight people (great for summer rentals) and a 3-cabin version that’ll appeal to people that want an owner’s suite. The saloon’s design offers passengers picturesque views of the sea from a very comfortable sitting position. 

If you need table space for work or to organize navigation, you can find one carved out in the kitchen.

• The interior design reflects the price and is of very high quality.
• There are lots of clip-on-points and rails to ensure safety and easy movement around the vessel.
• There’s a spacious engine bay that allows easy access to the engines thus reducing maintenance times.
• The slender shape of the boat hulls causes a decrease in the living space.
• There’s reduced visibility on the aft helm (open version).

Fountaine Pajot Elba 45

This 44 ft (13.41 m) vessel powered by two 40 hp engines made its grand introduction at the 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival. Since then, it’s grown in popularity, thanks to the bold and modern design which emphasizes cruising, relaxation, and comfort. You can buy one of these for around $500,000 to $900,000 on the used market.

The vessel is made of energy-emitting lines and inverted bows, which has dramatically improved the interior space. The helm station also features upgrades to improve the handling experience.

Not to worry; the cockpit doesn’t get the backburner in the comfort-centric design department. It’s very spacious, containing lots of storage spaces and direct access to the saloon. 

You can choose to install a Beach Club electric platform if you’d like to host parties from time to time. If you like to bring guests aboard, they’ll enjoy the relaxation spaces on the cockpit, lounge, and foredeck. Some interesting additions to the internal elements of the FP 45 are two refrigerators and a water maker that can produce 15.85 gal (60 L) of drinks per hour.

• The living spaces on the catamaran are some of the best and largest in this range.
• The fly lounge is an interesting design.
• It’s sharp when traveling downwind and offers a good compromise between speed and comfort.
• Performance suffers a lot in upwind sailing, and the fuel consumption increases significantly.

Designed by Christophe Barreau, the Catana 47 is another premium catamaran on the market today. It’s a 46 ft (14 m) durable vessel powered by two 40 hp Volvo engines. Going for around $750,000 on the used market, the Catana 47 is a light and strong vessel featuring a heavy infusion of carbon fiber. 

The Catana 47 retains some of the signature design moves the Catana Company is known for, including open helming stations, a performance-centric rig, and tall twin daggerboards. This model of the Catana runs a bit faster than the preceding model. That’s likely because Catana dropped its weight by around 1,500 lbs (680.39 kg). 

The vessel doesn’t skimp on space either. Both the crew and passengers on board will always have enough space to move around without bumping into someone else.

•  The room space is excellent.
•  Its speed is up there with some of the best in this class of catamarans.
• High bridge deck clearance
• You may need a watcher during docking due to the blind spot between the helming station and the opposite bow.

Seawind 1370

The Seawind 1370 is like a mash-up of the best features from the Seawind 1600 and 1260 designs with some further unique improvements. The 45 ft (13.72 m) catamaran is an excellent cruise vessel with warm and roomy living spaces. This makes the vessel an excellent option if you have a large family. The ship boasts two 40 hp Yanmar engines, and you can purchase a high-quality used one for around $700,000.

The catamaran can withstand heavy spray while in turbulent waters, thanks to the tough panoramic fashioned glass windows. The saloon opening from the cockpit features a tri-fold door. Once inside the cockpit, you’ll find a large transom lounge and a nice little bar that can also double as your cocktail joint.

The lounge on the saloon has enough space, and you can make more by simply folding down the table to transform it into a bed. You’ll find all the lines and controls in the helm station. The well-shaped hull offers high headroom in the cabins. Overall, the architectural design of this catamaran (made by Francois Perus) is one of the best in its class.

• It’s comfortable enough for small families.
• It’s very sturdy while on the water.
• The volume and space on offer may not be enough for commercial applications

The Beneteau Excess 15 is one of the largest catamarans created by the Beneteau group. It’s a sleek, cruising vessel with two powerful 57 hp engines. The twin helm stations on the boat make it one of the few catamarans that sport this design approach. There’s an 80 hp dual-engine variant of the vessel. With those specs in mind, you can expect to spend $200,000 to $1 million on a Excess 15.

On the inside, the vessel has a roomy saloon, which can double as a mini room diner.  While there, the non-smoked bay windows guarantee a full view of the entire seascape ahead. The cockpit is large enough to hold a table that can seat eight people. Helmsman, in particular, will enjoy the Dyneema steering cables and the aluminum supports.

• It’s a very stable seaworthy vessel.
• The engine is powerful enough for the size.
• It runs at a decent speed for a luxury boat.
• The interior and exterior design screams comfort and prestige.
• Since this is a luxury boat, it’s not the fastest in this class.

There are many excellent catamarans within the 40-50 ft (12-15 m) range. The options we’ve covered here are the best ones I have seen so far. Think about your unique needs before choosing any specific option. After all, some of these are more equipped for cruising while others are more useful as holiday boats with your family.

Don’t forget to consider other factors such as ease of control, harbor space, fuel type, and engine type. If you’re going with a used model, be sure to evaluate it thoroughly before you make a decision. It’s often best to get a professional valuation.

Catana Ocean Class

Description

We first saw the Catana Ocean Class, a 50 footer, at La Grand Motte in 2022 where she was one of the main attractions of the International Multihull show. The layout is a bit of a departure for Catana (although they have launched similar helm set ups back in the day), as she has a raised mid-position helm on the starboard side.

Catana were famous prior to that for their sporty twin aft-helms configuration. I think that this will probably widen their market but it might upset a few Catana traditionalists.

The French manufacturer hadn’t launched a new model since the 2016 launch of the 53, as they were focusing on their Bali Catamarans range. Let’s see if they expand the range after the launch of the OC50.

Photos from Catana.

Judging from the reception the boat was getting at the show, this model should do well. This isn’t an “out and out” performance boat like a Marsaudon, but it offers a fantastic mix of performance and comfort that should prove popular. You get a nav station that looks like it belongs in Star Trek AND a full sized American fridge/freezer.

She’s stiff and strong thanks to decades of “carbon infusion” experience in building performance yachts at Catana, and with those daggerboards she should sail upwind well.

• A unique blend of performance and comfort
• Strong and rigid.
• She carries the same sail-plan as the Catana 53 despite being shorter. This catamaran should move particularly in fresher conditions.
• Great layout in the saloon. I love the nav station to port next to the cosy L-Shaped sofa
• Competitively priced
• That big fridge!
• It looks like the weight distribution is further forward compared to, say, an Outremer. the mast is stepped through the saloon. the nets are quite a bit shorter.
• Not as quick as some of her competition in lighter winds
• I am not sure about the aft sliding doors being so far back. It doesn’t do the profile any favours and I would worry in a big following sea. I’d have liked to see a version with the doors further forward
• To get to the helm, you need to walk round onto the starboard deck. No big deal, but you are separated from the “pack” inside, although the starboard aft window slides right open.
• Does look a bit like a Bali on steroids.

She certainly looks seaworthy with her boxy, muscly profile and high freeboard. The Ocean Class carries the same amount of mainsail (90 sqm.) as her bigger sister: the 53.

The nacelle is 90cm above the water – this boat sits high on the water, which will help her power through big waves.

You can set the boat up with either an overlapping genoa (64m²) or a self tacking solent (50m²). In lighter winds, you can fly a Code O (105 m²) or a gennaker (130 m²) off the bowsprit. Light displacement is 14.5 T and she will soak up to 4.5 T of weight.

Like all Catanas, the Ocean Class has a bridle system for the mainsheet rather than a traveler. The windward sheet functions as the mainsheet/traveler while the leeward one is used to flatten the sail.

The disadvantage of this is that the main is not strictly self-tacking: on each tack, you need to release the leeward sheet( as it will become the windward one on the new tack) and flatten the sail by tightening the new leeward sheet. But, you can trim your mainsail very effectively with this kind of system and I know that Catana owner’s swear by it.

All of the lines run back to the single raised helm (except the light wind sails of course). This boat has been designed to be sailed by a couple, and the visibility from the helm to all 4 corners is good (although you need to duck around a bit to see the aft port side).

The Catana Ocean Class is powered by 2x 45HP engines (there is an upgrade available to 57) which will power you along at 7 knots and over with a decent sea state. Or just use one engine and cruise at 6 knots. She will carry up to 800L / 211 US gal of diesel.

Construction

The Catana Ocean Class is built with foam coring and vinylester resin infused into the hulls, decks and bulkheads, with added carbon fiber and Twaron cloth to increase strength and stiffness in high stress areas. She is a strong rigid boat.

Living Space

This is an area where Catana have put some blue water between themselves and the competition. Despite the mid position helm, the living space up top is very generous and well laid out. Stepping up the aft steps on the sugar scoops, you arrive at a wide aft deck area with winches on either side for your lighter wind sails.

An aft bench runs along the transom and then you are through the sliding doors that open right up to maximise the living space on one level.

Aft of the saloon is an L-shaped sofa area (room for 5) around a folding table. Along the starboard side runs a storage area and 2 pull out fridges. A sliding window opens fully to connect to the raised helm position on the starboard side.

Moving forward, there is a substantial nav station to port with a great looking helm seat. To starboard, is another large L-shaped sofa running along by the forward windowns which open right up.

The galley (with sink and a half) is positioned centrally to port behind the nav station leaving room for the full size American fridge-freezer to port and a central drinks cabinet and bar area behind the mast. It’s a well thought out design. The height of the roof in the saloon is 2.13m

The only thing that would worry me is the position of the sliding doors which are well aft. This has the benefit of giving you a huge enclosed space at anchor, but I would worry in a big following sea.

There are 3 basic configurations:

• Owner’s version with owner’s suite in the port hull with shower and seperate head forward
• Four Cabin version with twin bunks aft (that convert into a double),  and seperate head and shower in each hull
• Four Cabin version with twin bunks aft (that convert into a double),  and twin head and shower units in each hull

The finish is light oak effect and looks very smart. The quality doesn’t match the level you would see on a Balance or HH. They are aiming for a level on par with an Outremer.

The storage space looks well thought out and the whole feel is very light and airy, similar to the Catana 53. The height down here is a roomy 2m.

Here is the Catana Ocean Class Brochure .

This model represents a clever positioning from Catana, a great combination of performance, comfort and value that is pretty unique in the market. Its closest competitor is probably the Seawind 1600. Let’s see if they extend the range with this format and launch a 47 and a 42.

How much is the Catana Ocean Class? What is the price of this catamaran? As always, we will qualify this answer with “it depends on the options you go for”, but the price range runs from €915,000 to €1,250,000 for a fullly equipped boat. That’s pretty competitive versus the competition.

Construction & Design of Catana 50 OC

After a hiatus for a few years to focus on the Bali  range, Catana released the Catana OC 50 in 2022 that has the industry abuzz including ourselves. Its new bulkhead helm station, the open plan design, the comfort, interior spaciousness, and the affordability convinced us to take the leap and buy one. In this video we discuss the design, build, and construction of the Catana OC 50.

360 Degree Tour

The culmination of two years of research by Catana naval architects and design teams, the Catana Ocean Class sets standards for luxury and exception in blue-water performance catamaran cruising.

She is as light as she is strong, thanks to the mastery of “carbon infusion” technology now used on all Catana boats. Her new hulls and daggerboards have been the subject of hydrodynamic studies and really puts into context the pleasure of sailing at wind-speed, in absolute comfort and total safety.

OUR PERSONAL GOALS FOR THE CATANA 50 OC

In this video we discuss the goals we had when we bought this boat and how they stacked up. We all want to sail fast but comfort is a BIG factor and if we can achieve both at the same time, we have a winner. We wanted to be able to handle a wide range of conditions without a lot of effort and stress, and we want to get to our destination quickly and efficiently. Did we achieve this on the Catana 50 Ocean Class? Let’s take a look>>

Catamaránes de segunda mano

480 anuncios, lagoon 380 s2, nautitech 47, salina 48 evolution, lagoon 400 s2, robertson and caine leopard 40, custom cat 16, alexander 50 one off, louisiane 37, ¿por qué confiar en nosotros, 1471 barcos vendidos gracias a nosotros, ¿qué es un catamarán, características de un catamarán.

El catamarán es un velero multicasco: está compuesto por dos cascos paralelos unidos por un cuerpo rígido. Estos son más finos que los de los monocascos, lo que les confiere una mayor velocidad debido a la menor resistencia al agua. También permite una mejor estabilidad y más espacio en la cubierta. Aunque se gane en velocidad, eso no implica necesariamente que se perciba. Debido a la estabilidad de los catamaranes, las sensaciones son menores que las que se pueden sentir en un monocasco. Como cualquier velero, el catamarán se propulsa con la fuerza del viento y el plano antideriva está compuesto por orzas o aletas situadas en los flotadores.

Históricamente, los primeros catamaranes que existieron fueron los de la Polinesia hace 4000 años, donde la población local usaba canoas con un péndulo que servía como flotador. El primer catamarán occidental no llegó hasta 1662, diseñado por William Petty, un filósofo y economista inglés.

Cuando se está a punto de comprar un catamarán, es importante tener en cuenta varias de sus características. En primer lugar, a pesar de su ligera escora, los catamaranes se balancean más de delante hacia detrás, espcialmente si hace mal tiempo. Además, el costo de mantenimiento es a menudo más alto, es necesario tener en cuenta su longitud y accesorios, así como sus dos motores. Por último, dado su gran tamaño, este tipo de multicasco tendrá más dificultades para entrar en un puerto, lo que a veces requerirá amarrar fuera del puerto en una boya de amarre y llegar a este en una embarcación auxiliar, ya sea un bote, una barca, un semirrígido o un bote neumático.

¿Cuáles son las ventajas y desventajas de un catamarán?

Para cualquier marinero tentado por la vela, el catamarán tiene muchas ventajas:

• Está menos sujeto a la escora, por lo que la navegación es más agradable,
• es más rápido cuando el viento sopla a favor,
• al tener dos motores, es más maniobrable a motor, lo que facilita la entrada en los puertos,
• tiene un calado poco profundo que le permite navegar en aguas poco profundas.

Sin embargo, para aquellos que prefieren las emociones, es más prudente decantarse por un monocasco, ya que un catamarán es generalmente más pesado y será más estable y menos deportivo.

Equipar un catamarán

A partir de 12 metros, el espacio a bordo de un catamarán será más grande y más cómodo que el de un monocasco del mismo tamaño. Esto proporcionará más espacio para el día a día, con una amplia ¡cocina, un gran salón y una cabina espaciosa. Esta característica se agradecerá cuando navegue con varias personas, ya sea con amigos o familiares. Además, el número de cabinas se incrementará a 4, una en cada extremo de los cascos, combinando privacidad y calma.

Freebird | Custom Freebird 50 50ft

Palm coast, fl, us, us $185,000.

Vessel priced $80k below appraised value for a quick sale!

"Freebird" is a very special catamaran. She was atrend setting luxury catamaran with a no expense spared interior by Camper & Nicholson. Ahead of her time for the cruising catamaran market, she features many design elements that were very innovative at the time but are now standard on liveaboard cats.

The Freebird 50 catamaran design was developed from that of the smaller Firebird design by Modular Moldings, a blisteringly fast 25 foot open deck racing catamaran that twice won the Cowes Round the Island Race. The length and beam were doubled and a deck house added to create a strong, spacious cruising catamaran capable of taking its crew anywhere in the world.

Both boats were designed by Toby Richardson, a hugely experienced catamaran sailor and the stress calculations were handled by a former senior member of the British Aerospace engineering team which created the Concorde airliner.

Ultimately 9 Freebirds were built in Cornwall, England byModular Mouldings Ltd, but production ceased when the moulds were destroyed in a factory fire.

"Freebird" offers the rare opportunity to own a cruising capable classic performance catamaran at an affordable price point. After some time and effort from a motivated new owner, Freebird can be returned to her former offshore cruising glory.

We take pride in our happy customers

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb

I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.

Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.

— Beverly Cory

Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.

I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
