Catana 401

1 current listing in our evaluation (as at 03.11.2026).

What distinguishes the model

  • The light daggerboard catamaran sails briskly even in little wind and, with two daggers, achieves a shallow draft for flat bays.
  • The hulls are built in a vacuum sandwich with PVC foam core and aramid inner laminate, combining stiffness and low weight.
  • The galley is located up in the bright saloon, and the fit-out is considered markedly more comfortable and better equipped than the Outremer 40.
