“S/V Daydream”

About this boat
Daydream is an early-production Catana 431, Hull #02, Owner’s Version. She has never been chartered and has always been privately owned and maintained by experienced sailors. Designed by Christophe Barreau, the 431 combines lightweight construction, high bridgedeck clearance, daggerboards, and asymmetrical hulls. These features give genuine performance in light airs, good upwind ability, and confident heavy-weather handling while remaining practical for a couple or small family.
She has received significant recent upgrades, including a full carbon mast overhaul and new standing rigging in 2021, new Volvo D2-40 engines and saildrives in 2017 (approximately 1,100 hours), and a major 2025 Victron lithium and solar system (900+ Ah LiFePO4 and 1,320 W bifacial solar). She also carries current New Zealand Category 1 safety certification.
The boat is currently located in Auckland, New Zealand, and is available for viewing and sea trial. Full inventory, additional photographs, and survey information are available on request.
