The Catana 431 is widely regarded as one of the finest performance cruising catamarans of its era, combining speed, strength, and offshore capability with comfortable liveaboard accommodation. Designed by Christophe Barreau and built in France by the renowned Catana shipyard, this model has earned a strong reputation among experienced sailors for its sailing performance and structural integrity.
She features lightweight composite construction, daggerboards for exceptional upwind ability, and a powerful yet easily managed sail plan. She is equally suited to long range bluewater cruising or fast coastal passages, making her an excellent choice for sailors who value performance without sacrificing comfort.
Tyee III was cruised to Australia from the USA and proved to be a fast, comfortable family home on the water for her American owners. Her next owners in Australia, cruised the East Coast and raced her in the Hamilton Island race series, winning first place in her class. Her current owners have also enjoyed success in organised multihull races.
Now seriously for sale and realistically priced to sell due to ill health, Tyee III is ready to take you on your cruising journey and thrill you with her effortless performance.
