We just crossed the Panama Canal on Zambezi, and let’s just say… it’s not a lazy Sunday sail. Here’s what caught us off guard: ⛵️ Your boat is not important. You’re just a tiny dot next to the big container ships. Be prepared to get moved around to fit the schedule. 💪 Your line handlers need muscles. The chambers fill fast, the current pulls hard, and keeping the lines tight is real work. Don’t skip arm day 😉 🧑‍✈️ You need to know how to steer in currents. Between the water rushing in and the 300-meter cargo ship powering up in front of you, your rudder needs a steady hand. Now that we’re through the Canal, we have “only” 2,800nm left to sail to our final destination in Canada. Should be doable by September, right? Stay Salty! Greta & Michael on Zambezi #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #canaldepanamá #catamaran

CATANA 582 Catamaran For Sale By Owner Location: Messolonghi Additional catamaran photos, details, and equipment list as well as owner contact information can be viewed at: https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/catana-582/ S/V Eidos Cat is a Greece based 2001 Catana 582 catamaran for sale by owner. Catana 582 (2001) - Performance Cruising Catamaran Overview General Information The Catana 582 is a luxury performance cruising catamaran built in 2001 by the prestigious Catana Shipyard and designed by the renowned Christophe Barreau. Currently located in Greece and registered under the Slovenian flag, this yacht has been imported into the EU in 2019 and represents a refined balance of sailing performance and onboard comfort. Design & Construction With a length of 19.00 meters (62.34 feet) and a beam of 9.10 meters (29.86 feet), the Catana 582 offers impressive interior volume and outstanding stability. The hulls are constructed from GRP with a PVC foam core sandwich, delivering a strong yet lightweight structure optimized for performance cruising and bluewater capability. Performance & Rigging Equipped with twin Yanmar 4JH3-DTE 125 HP diesel engines, each showing fewer than 1,100 hours as of September 2024, the vessel provides reliable propulsion when needed. The sailing rig features a 115 m² mainsail, a genoa, and a self-tacking jib—all replaced in 2014—as well as a versatile gennaker added in 2018 for enhanced light-wind performance. The rig is designed for experienced sailors who appreciate responsive handling and speed. The inclusion of daggerboards significantly improves upwind performance and reduces leeway, allowing the Catana 582 to sail closer to the wind and access shallower anchorages when needed. Interior & Accommodations The interior layout is designed with long-term liveaboard comfort in mind. The yacht features a luxurious owner's suite with a private head and shower, two guest cabins each with their own en-suite facilities, and a skipper's cabin currently used for storage, which can be easily reverted to crew quarters. The saloon includes a large round sofa and a custom teak table added in 2018, creating an inviting space for socializing or relaxing. The galley is equipped for spacious and easy cooking. Energy Systems & Autonomy The Catana 582 is outfitted for off-grid living with approximately 1.5 kW of solar power managed by four independent MPPT controllers. The energy storage is provided by a 480AH @ 24V GEL battery bank (replaced in 2020), and power conversion is handled by a Mastervolt Ultra 24/3500 inverter/charger installed in 2018. These systems support extended cruising without reliance on shore power. Summary This Catana 582 stands out as a well-maintained and comprehensively upgraded performance catamaran. Its proven bluewater pedigree, robust construction, and premium liveaboard features make it an exceptional choice for sailors seeking both adventure and comfort at sea.
