About
2001 Catana 471 Pippin
REFIT TO BE EVEN MORE ENERGY INDEPENDENT. CAPABLE OF MONTHS AT SEA
U.S. Duty Paid | Owners Version | Major Refit in 2022
The Catana 471 is the ultimate blue water performance catamaran. With her high freeboard and generous bridge-deck clearance, shes built for safe and comfortable offshore passages. Daggerboards ensure exceptional upwind performance, while her carbon rig with stainless shrouds and forestay adds strength and reliability. Her high-tech hull is constructed with PVC foam core, vinylester resin, and reinforced with carbon and Kevlar which offers the perfect balance of stiffness, strength, and lightness.
Pippin, a 3-cabin, 2-head Owners Version, has always been privately owned and never chartered throughout her three-owner history. In 2022, she underwent a significant refit with a clear mission - to be generator-free and energy independent, allowing for extended, off-the-grid cruising. Safety was also enhanced with a new anchoring system and liferaft.
Here are just a few highlights from Pippins 2022 refitupgrades that set her apart as one of the finest Catana 471s available:
1,200aH Lithium Battery Bank
3,080W Solar Array
Complete Victron Energy Suite
2 x 24,000 BTU DC Air Conditioning Units
Hull-deck joint fully reefed and recaulked
Lewmar 2000W Windlass + 40kg Rocna Anchor
and much more.
Explore further below and contact us to see what makes Pippin a rare opportunity to own a lovingly maintained, true turn-key vessel, equally ready for local cruising or world exploration. Showings are available by appointment.

I had the pleasure of working with Chuck during the survey of a catamaran. He was fantastic—he has extensive knowledge of catamarans and was always open and attentive to my questions and concerns throughout the process. His professionalism and insight made the day smooth and productive. I would highly recommend Chuck to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and approachable broker.
Dear Cynthia and Andrew,
I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to both of you and The Multihull Company team for the outstanding job you did in successfully closing the sale of our Excess 14. Despite the challenging environment — including new import tariffs and unique buyer requirements — you navigated everything with professionalism, perseverance, and efficiency.
The transaction was completed smoothly and in good time, which is a true credit to your dedication and expertise. Very well done.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the very best.
Warm regards,
Jurgen
