Description

NOTE: this is a For Sale By Owner listing. No trades accepted.

Just reduced again! Sellers are motivated. 1997 Catana 44 catamaran owner version in great condition and recently reduced price of $263,999 USD. Currently located in Deltaville, Virginia, the vessel has been cruised full time by a family throughout the Eastern Caribbean for the past year. "Curtiseas" has never been chartered and has been carefully maintained. She is ready to go continue cruising right now!

The vessel comes complete with all stores, a full complement of tools, spares, and misc dive gear. She is a very comfortable live aboard with a roomy, well thought out galley-up design, handy to the big cockpit table. The master cabin (port) and two guest cabins (starboard) have queen beds, with a third twin sized cabin in the starboard forepeak for extra crew or guests. The two heads are electric and each have a dedicated shower. Her solar array provides plenty of power. Brand new, never used Max Prop Easy 2-blade props!

Designed by Lock Crowther and custom built at the French Catana Yard, she is also the only Catana 44 with a factory-built, protected inside third helm station! She is a well built, high performance, proven ocean-going vessel. Her daggerboard design allows for greater performance when sailing upwind, and reduced drag when cruising downwind. An additional benefit of her shallow draft is the ability to drop anchor close to shore or navigate shallow cuts. The hull and deck were laid up using vacuum bagged polyester isophthalic resin cored with closed cell foam with unidirectional cloth for outer laminate and anti-osmosis epoxy resin below the waterline. The hulls were reinforced with Twaron inner laminate.

Discerning and knowledgeable multihull sailors are well aware that the Catana design concept encompasses quality and strength of construction, comfortable and ergonomic accommodations and fast, seaworthy designs capable of long distance blue water cruising in ease.
