Following two years of design, Catana are announcing a brand-new 50-foot catamaran, the Ocean Class.
Inverted, fine-entry bows; controlled weight thanks to a stratification process in carbon-reinforced infusion and a reduced footprint of the nacelle; a powerful rig and deep daggerboards: this model is indeed a Catana! Performance addicts will be able to choose a carbon mast. For the deck, the builder has opted for a central helm station. Almost a heritage from Bali, the Ocean Class benefits from a bulkhead-free nacelle with three large sliding bay windows with integral reinforcement for enjoying a vast living space, either totally protected or fully open to the outside.
