Canada Catalina CAD

Note price is in $CAD. Approx price in USD is $USD159,000.
The Catalina 400 was a very popular model for good reason:
Sailing Magazine called it “a roomy cruiser that sails well” and “a good value for the money”.
Sail Magazine described it as “a big-volume cruiser with lots of amenities” and “a capable performer under sail”.
Cruising World said it was “a comfortable cruiser with surprising speed” and “a well-built boat with lots of clever features”.
Legacy boat has been cared for by an experienced boat owner and it shows. The 2024 survey rates her: “above average”. Thoughtful upgrades throughout including new electronics, upgraded Balmar alternator, solar and full enclosure. This boat is ready for continued four season PNW cruising !

BLUR is a single owner, private use (never chartered) 2013 Bavaria Vision 46 yacht outfitted for comfortable and safe extended cruising offered in the three cabin, two head layout.

The unique cockpit design with offset companionway allows for a large port cockpit table that can be manually lowered and converted into a day/lounging bed while the dual helms have ergonomic seating. All winches and major lines are in easy reach and the central halyard winch makes single handing a breeze. The bow thruster makes docking, even in tricky situations a breeze. The bathing platform is integrated into the stern providing convenient access to the water.

With the fixed hull ports, the overhead fixed and opening hatches, and the deck ports, the Vision 46 is bright and inviting inside.The asymmetrical companionway create a spacious pantry. The salon is cosy and flexible in use. In a few easy steps, the portside navigation table can be converted into a continuous bench. High-end finishing in combination with a beautifully-designed colour concept lend this yacht its luxurious character.

ACCOMMODATION:
The Vision 46 has space for living and storage space for everything you like to have with you when sailing. The salon has an L-shaped dinette to starboard with two extra individual seats and a table that unfolds for dinner or folds up for cocktails. A straight settee is to port and with the cushions removed, the middle portion lifts up to form a small nav desk. The standard head is to starboard with a separate stall shower that can double as a wet locker.

BLUR has three cabins and two bathrooms, one of which is forward in the large master stateroom. There is an island queen berth, lots of stowage below and hanging space.
