Designed by Christophe Barreau and built by Catana (FRA) from 2009–2013, the Catana 65 is a high-performance catamaran with a build count of ?. It combines a 66.6 ft LOA with a 31.5 ft beam to deliver rapid coastal cruising capabilities.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced multihull sailors seeking high-speed coastal cruising and short offshore passages, particularly those willing to manage complex systems like watermakers and solar installations.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low D/L ratio of 83.43 and a capsize ratio of 3.46, the boat is designed for speed rather than heavy-weather stability, making it suitable for protected offshore passages but requiring careful consideration for true bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other large performance catamarans from the late 2000s such as the Lagoon 620 or Fountaine-Pajot Elba 62, though the Catana 65 distinguishes itself with a lighter displacement of 48645.0 lb and a higher SA/D ratio of 25.83.
