Catana 381 - “Waking Dream”

“Waking Dream” is a beautiful and well maintained Catana 381 catamaran that has benefitted from $53,000 in improvements since 2006. At just under 39 ft. LOA, the Catana 381 is at the small (and most affordable) end of the popular Catana range of performance cruising catamarans. She meets the French Catagory 1 requirements for offshore yachts. The Catana 381 has the well-proven features of her larger sisters, including twin daggerboards for upwind efficiency, good underwing clearance to avoid pounding and asymmetrical hulls with “Tulip” cross sections for pitch dampening and excellent reserve buoyancy for safe surfing. Her cockpit features an elevated helm station aft and on the centerline for excellent visibility and easy “gunsight” steering. Transom steps provide easy water access and dinghy handling and launching is via the transom arch. Inside the bridgedeck cabin you’ll find an efficient galley, a navigation station and a double leg table with panoramic views. Below in the hulls are comfortable accommodations for up to eight persons in 4 x 5’ wide double berths as well as a private head amidships in each hull.

“Waking Dream” has been regularly maintained and upgraded by her owners. From 2006 through 2008, she received a US$53,000 refit which included a bowsprit for the Screecher, a compression beam on centerline forward, 4 x 130 watt Kyocera solar panels, new folding props, new house batteries and a new 7:1 mainsheet system. Additionally, the engines were serviced and all mechanical and electrical systems were gone through and serviced or replaced as necessary.

“Waking Dream” is for sale only because her owner wishes to purchase a larger catamaran. She represents an excellent opportunity for a cruiser who enjoys a multihull yacht with satisfying sailing performance.
