Which Catamaran Should You Choose to Sail Around the World? 5 Essential Criteria

Sailing around the world on a catamaran is an extraordinary adventure that requires a yacht capable of combining performance, safety, autonomy and comfort. But what are the essential criteria when choosing a bluewater cruising catamaran?

With the Ocean Class², CATANA brings its expertise in offshore sailing to those who dream of exploring further, without compromising on the pleasure of sailing.

  • Sailing Performance: A Key Advantage for Long Passages

When it comes to bluewater cruising, performance is about more than just speed. It allows sailors to maintain good average speeds, optimize passage times and make the most of sailing conditions.

Thanks to its electrically operated daggerboards, optimized design and extensive use of carbon fiber in its structure, the CATANA Ocean Class² delivers efficient sailing performance while retaining all the qualities expected of a true bluewater cruising catamaran.

  • Safety: Exploring Further with Confidence

Safety is a top priority when planning to cross oceans. It relies on robust construction, crew protection and well-designed sail-handling systems.

The Ocean Class² features a reinforced structure incorporating carbon fiber, particularly in the coachroof, structural bulkheads and connecting elements. Its protected semi-flybridge helm station has been designed to combine excellent visibility, safety and comfort while underway.

  • Autonomy: Making the Most of Every Anchorage

A round-the-world cruising catamaran should allow its crew to spend extended periods at anchor without constantly relying on marina facilities.

With over 2.5 kW of solar panels, an electrical system designed to meet onboard energy needs and a centralized equipment management system, the Ocean Class² supports greater self-sufficiency at sea and at anchor.

  • Comfort: Feeling at Home Wherever You Sail

Spending months, or even years, at sea requires a catamaran designed for comfortable everyday living.

The Ocean Class² offers bright, open living spaces, an L-shaped galley with a central island, a modular saloon and a layout designed to enhance circulation and life on board. The cockpit and protected helm station also ensure comfort and enjoyment while sailing.

  • Storage Capacity: An Essential Yet Often Overlooked Factor

Sailing around the world means carrying provisions, technical equipment, spare parts and everything needed for extended periods of self-sufficient cruising.

With over 10 m³ of storage space in the forward compartments, along with numerous storage areas integrated into the cabins, galley and cockpit, the Ocean Class² meets the practical needs of long-distance sailors.
