Catana 582

ORIENT EXPRESS was designed to circumnavigate the world short handed. The build was personally supervised by the architect (Christophe Barreau) and the owner to be the strongest Catana ever built. The first owner had owned several Catanas prior and brought his experience to bear on the specification of this one.  

She has sailed all over the world and has been constantly updated and meticulously maintained. A stunning vessel and the only Catana 582 currently available in the world. This represents a great opportunity for a dedicated, voyaging sailor.

• Carbon mast with Navtec Kevlar rigging
