Latest Vessels- Catana 52, Grand Soleil, Hanse 400

by Charter World on 4 Nov 2007
Catana 52 Charter World http://www.charterworld.com.au
The largest bareboat catamaran

Catana are at the very top end in terms of quality and price of the French catamarans offered (often double the cost to buy of a Lagoon or Fountaine Pajot for the same size vessel).

The latest Catana 52 is a superb vessel with extras such as: gennaker, watermaker, a generator and air-conditioning.

Catana’s are renowned for their sailing ability and are uniquely fitted with dagger boards. Offering five cabins from $1000 per night. They represent the largest and arguably the best value charter catamaran available.


Grand Soleil in Croatia and Slovenia


We are now offering the range of Grand Soleil yachts from 40 – 50’.
All yachts have LCD TV, DVD, air-conditioning/heating generator, teak decks and a distinctive blue hull.

For those looking for a special experience or perhaps for a special occasion, there could not be a much better experience than sailing these thoroughbred yachts.

New Hanse 400 and Nautitech 44 in New Caledonia


Hanse are the latest new marque to hit the charter fleets with a new 40’ – three cabin/two head version arriving in Noumea next month. I had a look at the Sydney Boat Show and it presented as a functional, smart little yacht with a performance feel.

Hanse are German built and more expensive and arguably better finished than their Bavaria stable mates.



Also new are Nautitech Catamarans, built outside La Rochelle in France in small numbers (approx. 60 per year). They again represent a quality alternative to their more established French rivals. The Nautitech 44 offers a four cabin, four head layout. The yacht will offer a four cabin/four head layout, equipped with GPS, colour mapping, Radar, 220 volt power and MPS. This yacht is also offered for sale to investors under a five year charter usage scheme.

Double Double
And the rest of the line is not toil and trouble, but quadruple, then another double… On the eve of the 100th Fastnet that has attracted some 464 entries, I heard of one entry in this record fleet that seemed so very apt. Not only because it includes the Commodore of the RORC, but because it combines two Brits and two Aussies.
