The Catana 40 holds a foundational place in the history of multihull design as the inaugural model that launched the Catana brand in 1984. Designed by the legendary Australian naval architect Lock Crowther, the vessel established the performanceoriented DNA that the shipyard maintains today: slender hulls, high bridgedeck clearance, and the use of daggerboards for superior windward ability. Built at the original facility in Cogolin, France, the model saw limited production—with approximately 11 to 16 units produced—but its impact on the bluewater cruising market was profound. It proved that a catamaran could be both a safe, longrange cruiser and a legitimate sailing machine capable of high doubledigit speeds.
