WHY “NINA” IS THE ULTIMATE FASTCAT 435 FOR COMFORTABLE, RELIABLE CRUISING

Among FastCat 435s, Nina distinguishes herself as an exceptional value for those
seeking a well-equipped, safe, and comfortable cruising catamaran. Commissioned
in 2010 and meticulously maintained, Nina has been thoughtfully upgraded to
enhance both livability and long-term reliability. A comprehensive refit in 2016
saw new sail drives, rudders, and saloon window seals installed, ensuring she
remains a turnkey solution for sailors ready to embark on their next adventure.

The African Cats FastCat 435 is renowned for its advanced construction. Designed
by Angelo Lavranos, Nina is built using vacuum-infused epoxy resin, reinforced
with carbon fiber and Divinycell foam cores. Unlike mass-produced charter
catamarans, this robust yet lightweight structure ensures superior durability,
increased efficiency, and resistance to osmosis—giving her a lifespan far beyond
typical chapter-design production boats.

While Nina is designed to be fast and easy to sail, what truly sets her apart is
her self-sufficiency and onboard comfort. She boasts a powerful solar array
(630W), a reliable AGM battery bank (880Ah), and a Honda EU 2000 generator,
providing reliable off-grid energy for extended cruising. Her air conditioning
and Webasto heater make life aboard comfortable in any climate, while the
Schenker 60L/hr watermaker ensures fresh water at all times. Her full suite of
navigation and communication electronics includes a Raymarine ST70 autopilot,
Garmin GPS Map 5212 chartplotters, SSB radio, AIS receiver, and satellite
communication, allowing for safe and easy navigation across oceans. The new
Dyform rigging (2018) supports an excellent sail inventory, including a fully
battened North Sails mainsail, furling genoa (2025), and two gennakers, making
Nina not only a comfortable home on the water but also a capable light-air
performer. Built for strength and safety, Nina features built-in buoyancy
chambers and watertight compartments, ensuring she remains unsinkable. Her
well-engineered hull design helps minimize wave impact, ensuring a smoother and
more comfortable ride in offshore conditions, and the cockpit layout allows for
complete sail control without leaving its safety—ideal for single or
short-handed sailing.

In summary, Nina is the perfect balance of speed, comfort, and self-sufficiency.
Unlike many boats in this price range, she offers high-end construction,
extensive upgrades, and a full suite of cruising essentials that make her one of
the best values on the market today. Whether you’re looking for a liveaboard
catamaran with premium amenities or a capable bluewater cruiser that can take
you anywhere in comfort and safety, Nina is ready to go.
