By maximizing the waterline length, packing on the sail area, and employing Catana's unique "carbon infusion" build technology, with his latest 55-footer, French naval architect Christophe Barreau has successfully addressed even the most demanding cruising sailor's "need for speed." Simply set sail and take off. The Catana 55 is part of Cruising World's 2013 New Boat Showcase. To see more catamarans from Catana, click [here](http://www.cruisingworld.com/boat-brands/catana
