Catana 59 and 42 Carbon

• By Mark Pillsbury and Herb McCormick
• Updated: November 4, 2014

The French catamaran builder Catana introduced two new boats to the U.S. this year: a 42-footer that’s an evolutionary refinement of the existing model lineup, and a totally new 59-foot design that was created by the company’s in-house naval architects and offers a glimpse into the future.

The Catana 42 Carbon made its splash at the U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland, and stole the hearts of our Boat of the Year Judges because of the quality of the workmanship and its get-up-and-go with the sails hoisted. CW’s Best Midsize Multihull under 50 Feet for 2014 continues the company’s efforts to capitalize on its carbon-fiber infusion capabilities. In terms of sporty good looks, the 42 has much in common with its siblings, including the 47 Carbon and 55 Carbon. It has the same distinctive curves —tulip-shaped bows, asymmetrical hulls that cant outward, sterns that taper to the waterline, and a sleek-looking cabin house that flows upward from just aft of the mast in a sweeping arc concluding with a bimini that partially covers the cockpit. The big difference is the weight that’s shed by using infused carbon fiber and foam in key areas throughout the boat.

The Catana 59, by contrast, takes a radical departure from those curvy forms and presents a new look for the company as it begins its fourth decade of boatbuilding. Let’s start with the tomahawk bows and sharp, angular lines created by a knuckle just above the waterline and a chine just below the sheer that both carry aft to sharp reverse transoms. Besides appearing fast and modern, these design elements allow for hulls with fine entries and narrow profiles below the waterline (for performance), and considerable interior volume (for liveaboard creature comforts). Atop the hulls sits a low-profile house that also bears sharp, straight lines and abrupt angles. The overall result is a head-turner at the dock and on the water.

The 59 we visited in Miami (hull number 4) had been launched in France, sailed to the Caribbean and then north to Miami for last winter’s Strictly Sail show. For the record, the boat looked no worse for wear after an ocean crossing, but that’s what it was built to do. Hulls and deck are cored with Airex closed-cell foam with resin-infused laminates consisting of multidirectional cloth; Twaron fiber is utilized above and below the waterline for collision mitigation and higher tensile strength. The deck is an infused foam and carbon-fiber sandwich as well, as are bulkheads and all major pieces of furniture. Hulls, deck and bulkheads are glued and laminated tocreate essentially a one-piece structure.

The 59 carries a single spreader rig with a high-aspect, flat-topped main; a working genoa set on a furler; and a screacher flown from a Facnor continuous-line flexible furler that is tacked to a short sprit. The design team replaced Catana’s trademark straight daggerboards with curved ones that take up less interior volume; when deployed at 10 knots or more, they act as hydrofoils to float the hulls and reduce drag.

And the boat can sail. Closehauled with the genoa set in about 14 knots of apparent wind, we saw a boat speed of just over 7 knots, not bad considering we had a crowd aboard. Cracked off a little more, we registered speeds of just over 12 knots in 12 knots of true breeze. The owner/captain was aboard for our sail and reported a top speed of about 23 knots on their crossing, adding that they had frequent 240- to 250-nautical-mile days.

For a short daysail, there was a lot going on in the cockpit. The owner, who sails with his wife and a first mate, kept the latter hopping from one side to another to clear winches and tend lines. At sea, with the autopilot set, sailing duties would be more manageable. I really liked the concept of the twin wheels, each set outboard and well aft, and both equipped with engine controls for the twin shaft-driven optional 150-horsepower Volvos.

The pep the 59 displayed underway was equally matched by the comfort Couedel Hugon Design built into the interior. Thanks to a three-part sliding door, the cockpit and saloon can be fully opened up to create an impressive amount of living space. There’s seating and storage everywhere, and a watch-friendly nav station is tucked into the forward port corner of the saloon.

In the cockpit a lounging area sits over a beverage cooler and icemaker to port, with a couch opposite. There are two more fridges in the galley, and a pair of freezers, along with a dishwasher, trash compactor, and four-burner stove and oven. In addition to a genset, the boat has eight 80-watt solar panels mounted on the bimini to power all the gear.

Below, the gray upholstery and white panel color theme extends to the owner’s spacious stateroom to starboard and the guest cabins — two singles aft and a queen forward — to port. A really nice touch is the dark-leather wardrobe lockers found in each.

With a price tag just north of $2.6 million at current exchange rates, the new 59 isn’t a boat for everyone. But for a lucky owner, such as the one we sailed with, it will make a fine platform for seeing the world — exactly what he has planned.

Catana 42 Carbon

If the Catana 59 represents what can be drawn on a broad, expansive, almost limitless canvas, the 42 Carbon shows what is possible within a smaller, tighter frame. Yet, despite the discrepancy in size between the two, the end result is nearly equally impressive. And because the price differential is a couple million bucks (the 42’s tag is $600,000 at current exchange rates), though the slighter boat still isn’t inexpensive, it will appeal to a much wider potential customer base.

In modern boatbuilding, particularly when it comes to displacement — and let’s remember that lighter catamarans are faster ones — less costs more. For companies like Catana, whose clients are generally performance sailors with a serious need for speed, saving weight is an all-encompassing goal, one realized by utilizing exotic materials (like the aforementioned carbon and Twaron) over a more traditional (these days) Airex foam core (which is also used in all of the furniture). Catana employs the resin-infused SCRIMP process in the 42’s laminate, which is a cleaner, highly efficient way to lay up hulls that are structurally substantial without being weighty. The 42 may not look especially different from other cats in its size range, at least not until the sails are set and the former puts the latter in its wake.

Catana realized it’s fashioning a relative sports car here — not an SUV — and laid out the deck and rig accordingly. The literal centerpiece of the sail-handling system is the hefty pedestal stationed smack-dab at the aft end of the cockpit, upon which is mounted a pair of Harken electric winches above two suites of rope clutches. Sheets, halyards, reef lines and so on are all led here, where a dexterous trimmer can orchestrate practically any maneuver without taking a single step sideways. It’s a smart, nifty setup.

To drive a boat like this, you need to see the road; as with the 59, the wheels are aft and outboard, with wide views in every direction. There’s plenty of grunt in the sail plan, with a hefty square-top mainsail and twin, versatile headsails: a furling jib on the headstay and a furling screecher set off a prominent sprit mounted ahead of the forward cross beam. You need to roll up the screecher to tack it, but that’s a small price to pay for instant, carefree reaching without the hassle of running spinnaker sheets, hauling a kite on deck and so forth.

Continuing the high-tech, performance-oriented theme, the 42 of course sports a set of daggerboards that lower to nearly 9 feet when fully deployed, and will provide plenty of lateral resistance when required upwind. The powerful single-spreader fractional rig is comprised of Diamond rod-rigging and Kevlar cap shrouds. Hang on to your hat before it blows away. There’s a ton of storage on this boat, including a big locker under the cockpit sole and a trio more forward (where the tanks and windlass, in the central one, are also stashed). The wide side decks are promenades. Solar panels are embedded in the sloping coach roof and hard, fixed bimini. There’s a whole lot going on here in 42 feet.

A big sliding-glass door provides entrance to the saloon. There’s a nice forward-facing nav station to port; a dining table and settee to starboard; and an rear-facing galley aft that’s connected to the outdoor living areas through another sliding window. Descend the stairways in the starboard hull to access forward and aft cabins (the latter is larger than the former), which are separated by a storage locker and which share a common head. The port hull houses the owner’s stateroom (for some reason this seemed odd to me; it’s usually on the other side, no?), with a big double aft and a roomy head forward. (A four-cabin layout is also available.)

Sadly, we got skunked for breeze the day of our Chesapeake Bay test sail — though in 6 knots of wind, we still eked out 6 knots of close-hauled boat speed — but that did nothing to dissuade us from the notion that this boat will haul the mail. Catana’s been playing with this concept for quite a while now. They got it right a long time ago.

Zephyr is a beautiful example of the highly regarded Catana brand. She has the very desirable 3 cabin Owner's Version layout and she is a factory upgraded Carbon Infusion model. The size of the Catana 42 is easily managed by a cruising couple or singlehanded sailor but still large enough to entertain guests. She sports daggerboards and a powerful sail plan for fantastic performance under sail. Zephyr is a proper blue water cruising catamaran that achieves an uncommon balance of performance and livability.

The Carbon Infusion designation means that the factory included extensive use of carbon fiber in her construction coupled with a resin infusion layup, which results in a lighter and stiffer boat. Catana is well known for their exceptional build quality, fantastic sailing performance, and comfortable accommodations.Most notable is the luxurious interior finish which is overlooked on many other performance-oriented catamaran brands. Catana is at the top of the list for any discerning catamaran sailor.

Highlights:

• SOK Lithium Iron Phosphate house battery bank
• Panda 5000iPMS Generator - 1440 hours
• Aquabase 17 g/h Water Maker
• 800w of solar

CONSTRUCTION Building process:

The hull mold is composed of three main parts with parting lines at the bottom junctions. Mold of the Platform and half-inner hulls is in one part to warranty the maximum of rigidity. The hull is built in Foam Sandwich infusion, with vinylester and Polyester resin. The structure is reinforced with monolithic areas, Twaron Impact process Aramid fiber and full carbon fiber areas like shroud chain plates, and horizontal stiffening spars. The deck has a white gelcoat finish. The deck is also made in Foam Sandwich infusion with monolithic / plywood reinforcements. Numerous areas are made in full carbon fiber: The roof and its stiffening, deck stiffening spars, mast foot area and mast pillar. Structural main bulkheads are made in infusion Foam/Carbon sandwich. To provide the best toughness, every opening (doors and technical holes) is integrated and reinforced during the infusion process.

Structural integrity

The hull/deck/bulkheads joint is glued and continuously laminated. Full carbon fiber lamination joint is applied for the main bulkheads and floor frames. The hull and deck are as solid as though they were cast in one piece, guarantying an outstanding strength and lifespan.

We take pride in our happy customers

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb

I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.

Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.

— Beverly Cory

Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.

I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

— Eric Boutiette

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.
