About the CATANA 411
Designed by Lock Crowther and C. Barreau and built by Catana (FRA) from 1994–1998, the Catana 411 is a high-performance catamaran with a displacement of 10000.0 lb and a beam of 21.33 ft. While the exact build count is unknown, owner reports highlight a fleet that prioritizes speed and modern upgrades, with solar panels and bow thrusters being common additions.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who value speed and modern amenities, as evidenced by the high prevalence of solar panel installations and electronics upgrades like Garmin and Raymarine.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.96 and a comfort ratio of 6.47, the boat is designed for performance rather than heavy offshore comfort, making it suitable for protected coastal passages and short offshore trips rather than extreme bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other late-90s performance catamarans such as the Lagoon 400 or Beneteau First 40.7, the Catana 411 shares a similar era and role but distinguishes itself with a higher SA/D ratio of 33.86 and a lighter displacement.
