2001 Catana 471 Pippin
REFIT TO BE EVEN MORE ENERGY INDEPENDENT. CAPABLE OF MONTHS AT SEA.
U.S. Duty Paid | Owners 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 Owners 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.
