The Catana 471 model has a reputation as one of the best production cruising catamarans, and Le Mistral is a great example. Her current owners are only the second owners since new. They cruised extensively from the US, visiting the Caribbean islands and the coast of South America, travelling through Panama to the Pacific Islands and on to Australia in 2014.
Since then, they have sailed the Great Barrier Reef seasonally and done a cruise to New Caledonia. Exceptionally well-equipped and maintained, Le Mistral has four spacious cabins that provide ample accommodation, including two queen cabins forward and two huge aft cabins that can be converted into four single berths. In addition, there are two single berths/ storage space each side midships.
Her spacious saloon features a large U-shaped dinette, forward-facing navigation station and galley up that overlooks the cockpit and boasts an abundance of refrigeration, a dishwasher, a three-burner gas stove and oven. Le Mistral is powered by twin MD22 Volvo 55hp diesels with approx. 3000 hours and Seahawk 3-blade folding props on sail drives.
Her 2018 sail wardrobe comprises a fully battened Hydranet mainsail, furling Hydranet genoa and two socked spinnakers. Standing rigging checked and replaced in 2020. Additional features include a washing machine, watermaker, genset, wind generator, 800Ah gel batteries with 600w solar and 4000w Mastervolt inverter.
There is also a Caribe 10ft tender with 5hp Mariner outboard plus good navigation and communication electronics. Le Mistral has the original Catana 471 folder and manuals, notes, receipts etc. and there are many spare parts, including general hardware.
