What distinguishes the model
- Both generations sail fast with daggerboards and a carbon rig and reach peaks of 13,5 knots under screecher.
- The hull is built from Airex foam sandwich, which makes for a light and stiff structure and has proven itself for long-distance sailing.
- The early Catana 50 shows little need for a refit and points to solid value retention on the used market.
