Catalina 470 2008

Force Majeure is a meticulously maintained Catalina 470 that, despite facing Hurricane Ian, has been well cared for by its previous owner for a decade. Following the storm, she underwent professional repairs to the starboard aft and keel, with no water ingress reported during or after the event. While minor cosmetic touches are still needed, such as a bit of rub rail work and exterior cleaning, this capable passage maker boasts an impressive equipment list. **Accommodations** This yacht features a spacious two-cabin, two-head layout, comfortably accommodating up to seven guests. The main salon's table converts into a double berth, and the settee offers a single berth. Each head includes a separate enclosed shower, electric flushing options for either salt or fresh water, and newly replaced joker valves. The aft cabin includes a centerline queen berth with ample storage and direct access to the aft head. The forward cabin features a Pullman double berth with hanging lockers and drawer storage, plus a private head with an enclosed shower and dedicated storage area. Cooling is provided by three air conditioners, two of which are new, including a powerful 16,000 BTU Marvair unit. The yacht also features a Fischer Panda Mini 8 generator for air conditioning while away from the dock. The cabin sole, made of teak and holly, has been refinished and sealed, and a bulkhead-mounted flat-screen TV in the main salon runs on its own inverter. **Galley** The galley offers abundant storage and counter space, complete with a vented hood over the Princess three-burner LPG stove and oven, a new microwave, and a dual refrigeration system. A 20-gallon hot water tank ensures ample hot water supply, with options for electrical or engine heat. For offshore adventures, the Dometic SeaXchange SE800 water maker produces fresh water at 800 GPD, with a dedicated spigot in the galley and a manifold for selecting from five potable water tanks. **Electrical** The 12-volt DC electrical system features a hybrid setup with two lithium house batteries, an AGM battery for the Yanmar engine, and a sealed lead-acid battery for the generator. The Magnum Battery Charger maintains the lithium batteries while docked, and under power, they are charged by a high-output APS alternator. The nav station includes a cooling fan, dedicated inverter, and an AccuGauge monitor panel for water and waste levels. The generator's remote panel has been upgraded, and multiple shore power connections are available on the transom. **Electronics** At the nav station, a full suite of electronics awaits, including a Magnum Energy Monitor, Iridium Go satellite phone, Raymarine multifunction display, ICOM IC-M24 VHF with AIS, and a Jensen stereo system with Bose speakers. The cockpit is equipped with a Ram Mic, Raymarine E120 display for chart plotting, and separate heads for wind, depth, and speed instrumentation. Force Majeure is also equipped with a Raymarine autopilot and Lewmar bow thruster. **Sails & Rigging** The yacht features newer sails, including a Doyle main with in-mast furling, a 135 furling genoa, and a trysail. The running and standing rigging are in excellent condition, complemented by Harken self-tailing and electric winches. **Deck** The deck and cockpit come with safety features like Wichard padeyes for jacklines and tethers. A plow anchor is paired with chain and rope rode, operated by a Lewmar windlass. The cockpit is spacious, featuring a central table and comfortable cushions, accommodating dining for four. A walkthrough transom facilitates easy boarding, complemented by a robust three-step swim ladder. A rebuilt manual bilge pump is conveniently located in the cockpit. **Mechanical Propulsion** The Yanmar 4JH4-TE 75 HP diesel engine provides reliable propulsion, directly connected to a 3-blade Max-Prop automatic feathering propeller. The engine hour meter shows approximately 300 hours, and the engine has been well-maintained, with recent updates to the heat exchanger and turbo. A 9.9hp Yamaha 4-stroke outboard is included, with a potential tender available. **Keel Details** The Catalina 470 features a unique structural fiberglass grid that enhances hull strength and secures vital components. Its generous deck beam creates an expansive cockpit with twin steering stations and a luxurious master stateroom below, embodying the essence of safe passage-making with a focus on performance, function, comfort, and luxury. **Disclaimer** The company provides the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information or the vessel's condition.
