The Catana 65 stands as a definitive benchmark in the evolution of performance cruising multihulls, representing a period where the French shipyard mastered the balance between grandscale luxury and legitimate offshore speed. Designed by the esteemed Christophe Barreau, the 65 was engineered to replace the aging but legendary 582 and 60 series, pushing the boundaries of what a private owner could manage without a full professional crew. Built using vacuuminfusion technology with extensive carbon fiber reinforcement and a Divinycell foam core, the vessel remains significantly lighter and stiffer than contemporary massproduction catamarans of similar length. This weightconscious construction ensures that the 65 maintains its "performance" moniker even when fully provisioned for transoceanic passages. According to editorial coverage in Multihulls World, the model was designed specifically to satisfy an elite tier of bluewater sailors who demanded doubledigit average speeds in varied sea states.
