Catalina Yachts against Hanse · used asking prices, listed in Europe and the US
At the same age, the Hanse 400e asks 19% less than the Catalina Yachts 42 MkII; on the headline Gauge Values it asks about the same, which mixes ages: its boats are younger (median build year 2007 against 2000).

Head to head
The better figure on each line is in orange. Where either side has too few boats, we say so rather than pick a winner.
Year by year
Each build year's Gauge Estimate, for the 5 years both have boats in. Pooled across those years (9 and 10 boats), the Hanse 400e asks 19% less than the Catalina Yachts 42 MkII.

At £95,000 your money buys 5 years newer in the Hanse 400e: a 2006 against a 2001.
A year of ownership
Each at its Gauge Value, on a South Coast marina berth, 44 engine hours a year (the median of 103 UK-listed sailing boats that report hours). An estimate in pounds from published rates, not a quote.
Each line is the middle of the cited range, to the nearest fifty pounds. Depreciation is a year of age on each model's published curve, at its Gauge Value, and stays out of the totals.
The Hanse 400e has no published depreciation curve, so its depreciation is withheld.

Questions
Which is cheaper, the Catalina Yachts 42 MkII or the Hanse 400e?
At the same age the Hanse 400e is cheaper: the Hanse 400e asks 19% less than the Catalina Yachts 42 MkII across 5 shared build years. Their Gauge Values, the median asking prices of all the boats we observed whatever their age, are £95,000 and £95,000.
Which holds its value better?
We can't say yet. The Catalina Yachts 42 MkII loses about 3.1% of its asking price a year of age, but the Hanse 400e has no published depreciation curve: we fit one from at least 20 boats across six build years and publish it only when the fit holds. We have 11 Hanse 400e boats across 6 build years.
Which spends less time on the market?
Boats of the Catalina Yachts 42 MkII had been listed a median of 26 days when we last saw them, against 113 days for the Hanse 400e. That is time listed so far, not time to sell, which we don't measure yet. 7% of the Catalina Yachts 42 MkII boats we saw 14 or more days apart cut their asking price, against 13% of the Hanse 400e boats.
How do you compare them like for like?
We compare boats of the same build year. For each of the 5 years both models have boats in, we take the ratio of their median asking prices in today's prices, then pool the years, giving more weight to years with more boats on both sides. The figure is Indicative because the thinner side has 9 boats in those years. The Gauge Values compare the whole fleets instead, so they mix boats of different ages.
