Based on the innovative and highly successful Catana 471 model, the Catana 431 design features include asymmetrical hulls, tulip shaped bows, daggerboards for improved windward performance, and extremely high bridgedeck clearance. The 431 is small enough to be handled by a couple, easy to reef and dock, yet large enough to handle big seas and turn nice speeds in most conditions under both sail and power. She seldom slaps or pounds, a powerful rig to push her along in light breezes, dual daggerboards that enable her to point smartly, and properly vacuum bagged hulls with Klegecelle cores and kevlar lining. Catana’s motto is that an owner’s dream and Catana’s ambition is to have the perfect balance of safety, performance and comfort in a design that can take care of you as much as you care for it.
