2003 CATANA 431 S/V WINDFALL
At the end of the last century Catana introduced the first of their second generation models which significantly raised the bar of performance cruising blue-water catamarans due to their innovative sail management system and luxurious wood interiors while still maintaining Catana’s signature hull shape consisting of asymmetrical hulls for added stability at the waterline, Tulip-shaped bows to resist large waves, and bulbous bow stems below the waterline. Today these same attributes has earned Catana a cult following for sailors looking for an affordable blue-water performance catamaran.
I know WINDFALL quite well having sold her on the secondhand market three times . . . . so far. Over the past 18 years she has had only two owners who enjoyed her seasonally and spared no expense in upgrades and maintenance. The original French owners (x-TAM TAM II) opted for the upgraded Cherry veneer, Alcantara salon ceiling panels, and a large amount of additional wardrobe storage with the addition of a clothes bureau in lieu of the standard desk w/seat in the owner’s hull. And unlike a number of Catanas built in the early 2000s, WINDFALL has the much preferred Whitlock (now Lewmar) rack & pinion steering system. She is most likely the last C431 built before the heavier Ocean Class model was introduced in 2004/2005.
The next owner of WINDFALL will take comfort knowing that the original electronic Cartes distribution system has been replaced with a totally integrated Mastervolt Czone electrical distribution system, new (larger) 4-cylinder Volvo Penta engines plus saildrives, and Garmin electronics. Over $200K has been spent since 2019 (I have the invoices to confirm). She was last hauled in December 2023 for fresh antifouling, zinc anodes, plus new upper/lower rudder bearings on both rudders.
WINDFALL is seriously for sale and open for offers. I look forward to seeing her go to next owner for the 4 th time!

2003 CATANA 431 CATAMARAN S/V WINDFALL
DESIGN: |
Classic Lock Crowther influenced hull shape with asymmetrical hulls for added stability, tulip shaped bow stems for increased wave resistance, daggerboards for less leeway beating to weather as well as safety in large beam seas, and dual aft helm stations for excellent visibility and improved rudder feedback. Innovative sail management system managed from the safety of the cockpit plus enabling single-handed sailing.
CONSTRUCTION: |
The two outer hull molds and one inner hull/bridgedeck mold are vacuum bagged using vinylester resin, cored with PVC closed cell foam with unidirectional cloth for outer laminate & Twaron aramid cloth for inner laminate.
The separately molded daggerboard trunks are laminated to be considerably stronger than the daggerboards. All 21 structural bulkheads are cored with Nidacore honeycomb with carbon fiber on both sides.
The deck/coachroof is a one-piece mold, vacuum-bagged using vinylester resin, cored with Nidacore
honeycomb with unidirectional cloth for outer laminate & Twaron aramid cloth for inner laminate, and molded diamond pattern non-skid decks.
The deck to hull joint is bonded by fiberglass creating a seamless waterproof monolithic structure.
