This is a beautiful owner version of the celebrated Catana 471. The consummate blue water, performance cat: very high freeboard and bridgedeck clearance for comfortable, safe offshore work; dagger-boards for windward performance; carbon rig with stainless shrouds and forestay for reliability; a high-tech hull constructed of PVC foam core/vynilester resin with carbon and kevlar reinforcements provides the ideal combination of stiffness, strength and light weight.  "4 TALES" is a two owner yacht that has never chartered. It spent most of its career in the dry climate of California and was recently moved to the Southeast US coast by its current owners. It has had very light use in the last three years and the owners have made some significant upgrades. Most notably, a Leisure Furl in-boom mainsail was installed in 2018 to facilitate sail handling. The sail inventory includes a screecher, genoa and two spinnakers. The rod headstay was replaced in September 2020.  This yacht features 110V and 12V systems and equipment. A large solar array and large alternators power the amenities on board including a large watermaker, washer/dryer. Onboard electronics feature an ICOM SSB/Pactor Modem, Satphone, radar, and two flatscreen TVs. 4 TALES is ready to go cruising this fall to the Bahamas, Caribbean or further. She is US flagged and duty paid. A gorgeous cat that combines distinguished pedigree with true oceanic capability.  . 

Fine example of this highly popular and capable Catana model. A true bluewater cruiser, and no slouch! A lot of fun to sail, perfect for liveaboard world-cruising adventures. Easy to short-hand and built to last.

ORIENT EXPRESS was designed to circumnavigate the world single handed. The build was personally supervised by the architect and the owner to be the strongest Catana ever built.  She has sailed over 60,000 Nm all over the world and constantly updated and meticulously maintained.
