About the Boat

Sails and Rigging  New in 2005, a 441 sf Quantum Pentex Main and 452 sf Quantum Pentex Genoa.  The main is supported by a Lazy Jack, Harken Car System and 2 large Harken winches making hoisting and lowering the mainsail efficient.  Ther 452 sf Quantum Pentex Genoa is managed by a Pro Furl furling with control systems leading to the cockpit.   A full 969 sf symetrical spinnaker is managed with sock which helps make hoisting and lowering the chute relatively easy.   Unique to Catana and Outremer catamarans are 2 daggerboards  that enable the boat to point up to 5 degrees higher and experience 2-5 degrees less leeway compared to skeg keel catamarans.  When you consider sailing in an uncomfortable 100 mile beat this ads up to being more than 17 miles closer to your destination.
