What distinguishes the model
- The first generation (2007–2011) combines Airex foam sandwich in the hull, deck and panels with daggerboards and a 70 ft carbon rig to create a fast, well-built construction.
- The Catana OC 50 (from 2020) offers an enclosed helm station and is regarded as a fast sailer, which makes it attractive for longer passages.
- The first generation (2007–2011) proves to hold its value and needs comparatively little refit, which makes long-term upkeep more predictable.
