Catana 471

S/V Orion II is a fully equipped 2007 Catana 471 (hull #86) catamaran currently in Marathon, Florida. She’s an owner’s version with many recent upgrades including new dinghy, water maker, batteries, solar panels, electronics, windlass and trampoline all bought within the last 2 years.

With twin 75HP Yanmar engines and a daggerboard semi performance design, she’s fast and fun to sail. With all lines leading to the cockpit and ability to operate windlass and electric winches from the cockpit or helm, you’re able to single hand with ease. Daggerboards up, draft is just over 3ft making cruising the Bahamas a breeze with all anchorages and cuts available to you. 

There was no expense spared on maintaining and upgrading our family home for the past 2.5 years living aboard full time with 3 young kids and cruising the Western Caribbean and Bahamas. As our sabbatical is coming to an end, it’s time for us to head back to land and someone else to take the helm. Registered in the UK, currently not for sale to US residents while in US Waters.

Manufacturer Provided Description

The salon of the Catana 471 can accommodate up to ten people, and the ocean view can be enjoyed even when seated at the table. A double cabin with a large bed and two gigantic portholes offer a superb sea view from the berth as well as from the bathroom located forward in the hull. The very spacious passageway is fitted out with a generous variety of cupboards and hanging lockers. The cockpit is vast. Two offset and raised helm stations make sail trimming easy and allow the helmsman to keep an eye on the boat and its crew all of the time. Mainsail maneuver and reefing are all handled by a central electric winch on the aft beam. With the totally flush deck there are no ropes or hatches to get in the way. Circulation is easy, because the deck is completely flat and free of pitfalls. The very tight trampoline net is the perfect place for a siesta.
