3) GENESIS
The performance, reliability and comfort of CATANAs are unanimously recognised by their
by their owners. Whether you’re sailing solo or with a crew, it’s essential that your cruising yacht is easily manoeuvrable by one person, both under sail and under engine.
manoeuvrable by a single person, whether under sail or under engine.
The relationship between man and his boat is not quite the same as that between a living being and an object, but rather one of
harmony between the man (or woman) and his accomplice.
Between you and your boat, you’ll develop a very strong bond over the miles you sail.
unforgettable moments.
The CATANA 50 and 55 are the result of this alchemy.
The CATANA 55 is the sport version of the CATANA 50.
4) CONSTRUCTION
4.1 Manufacturing process
Three-part mould with joint surfaces at the keel connections.
Nacelle mould and inner half-hulls in one part for greater rigidity.
As for many years, the hull is made of Sandwich foam infusion, Vinylester resin
and polyester resin. It is reinforced with Monolithics, Aramid fibre reinforcements using the Twaron Impact process and, above all, in order to optimise weight, certain parts of the hull have been designed to be more rigid.
In order to optimise weight, certain zones are now 100% Carbon, such as the chainplate zones,
omega stiffeners and the mast step area.
The deck is also constructed from Sandwich foam infusion with CP/Monolithic Sandwich reinforcements.
From Many areas are made entirely of carbon fibre, such as the coachroof, coachroof reinforcements, deck omegas, mast foot area and mast sponge.
deck, mast foot area and mast sponge.
The main structural bulkheads are now made entirely of infused foam/carbon sandwich.
infused carbon sandwich. For greater solidity, the routing of the doors and technical passages is integrated and reinforced during the infusion of the foam.
reinforced during the infusion of the bulkheads.
4.2 Integral structure
The hull / deck / bulkhead connections are made by bonding and structural cornering locally in 100% carbon fibre, as for the bulkheads.
carbon fibre for the main bulkheads, floors and spandrels.
The entire hull/deck envelope is a single-piece, dimensionally stable structure with exceptional rigidity and
