2001 Catana 471 "Pippin"
REFIT TO BE EVEN MORE ENERGY INDEPENDENT. CAPABLE OF MONTHS AT SEA
U.S. Duty Paid | Owner's Version | Major Refit in 2022
The Catana 471 is the ultimate blue water performance catamaran. With her high freeboard and generous bridge-deck clearance, she's built for safe and comfortable offshore passages. Daggerboards ensure exceptional upwind performance, while her carbon rig with stainless shrouds and forestay adds strength and reliability. Her high-tech hull is constructed with PVC foam core, vinylester resin, and reinforced with carbon and Kevlar which offers the perfect balance of stiffness, strength, and lightness.
"Pippin," a 3-cabin, 2-head Owner's Version, has always been privately owned and never chartered throughout her three-owner history. In 2022, she underwent a significant refit with a clear mission - to be generator-free and energy independent, allowing for extended, off-the-grid cruising. Safety was also enhanced with a new anchoring system and liferaft.
Here are just a few highlights from "Pippin's" 2022 refit-upgrades that set her apart as one of the finest Catana 471s available:
1,200aH Lithium Battery Bank
3,080W Solar Array
Complete Victron Energy Suite
2 x 24,000 BTU DC Air Conditioning Units
Hull-deck joint fully reefed and recaulked
Lewmar 2000W Windlass + 40kg Rocna Anchor
...and much more.
Explore further below and contact us to see what makes "Pippin" a rare opportunity to own a lovingly maintained, true turn-key vessel, equally ready for local cruising or world exploration. Showings are available by appointment.
