2008 Catalina 470

Force Majeure has been a very well maintained and updated Catalina 470. Her previous owner’s had been more than meticulous in the care and upkeep over the years of ownership. The current owner purchased her after some storm damage and had her professionally repaired. While there are still items to attend to ie. a small length of rub rail and small nicks on the transom this is a big capable passage maker with an extensive equipment list. A recent survey may be available to a serious buyer.  Force Majeure has the two cabin two head layout and easily accommodates 7 people with the main salon table converting to a double berth and the settee in the main salon offering a single berth. Each Head has separate enclosed showers, both heads are electric with options for salt or fresh water flush and the joker valve for both heads have been replaced. The aft cabin has a centerline queen berth with more than ample storage throughout the cabin with direct access to the aft Head. The forward cabin has a pullman double berth port side and starboard side hanging lockers and drawer storage. Forward of this cabin is a private Head with enclosed separate shower and forward of the shower is a storage area where the a previous owner had an electrical outlet installed in the cabinet. There are three air conditioners two of which have been replaced. The largest unit is a 16,000 BTU Marvair, the other two units are made by Dometic. Each unit has its own in line filter and on the discharge side a Venturi valve to ship the condensate overboard. Away from the dock you can have air conditioning thanks to the Fischer Panda Mini 8 generator. The teak and holly cabin sole has been refinished and sealed. The bulkhead mounted flat screen television in the Main Salon operates off of its own inverter.  The Galley has abundant storage and counter space, there is a vent hood over the Princess three burner LPG stove with oven, a new microwave, and a front and top loading Adler Barbour refrigeration system. You'll have plenty of hot water for dish washing and showers with the 20 gallon hot water tank which supplies hot water electrically or through the heat exchanger on the engine. When you are offshore you will not want for fresh water with the Dometic SeaXchange SE800 water maker. This is a 800 GPD/33GPH water maker with a dedicated spigot at the galley. There is a water manifold so you can choose which of the five potable water tanks you want to store this fresh water. The 12 volt DC electrical system is a hybrid of two Lithium batteries for the House, one AGM battery for the Yanmar engine and one lead acid sealed battery for the generator. A Magnum Battery Charger renews the Lithionics lithium batteries while at the dock. The Yanmar starter battery is charged by a DC to DC converter. The generator battery is charged by a separate dedicated battery charger . While underpower the lithium batteries are charged by an APS (American Power Systems) high output 360 Amp alt
