Hull

Both the hull and the deck is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

Rig

The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

Keel

The Catana 411 is equipped with a daggerboard keel. A daggerboard is a lifting keel that can be lowered and raised, allowing the boat to enter shallow waters as well.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.16 - 2.26 meter (7.09 - 7.39 ft) dependent on the load.

Engine

The fuel tank has a capacity of 303.0 liters (80 US gallons, 66 imperial gallons).
