A feel for the sea: sailboats first and foremost
What do the 4,000 Fountaine Pajot cruising catamarans produced over almost 50 years have in common? They really can sail! Because that’s what they were designed for. In recent decades, a trend toward extravagant interior design has made some forget that a sailboat is primarily designed for sailing, navigating the challenges of the high seas, and that it should also provide an exhilarating experience and shared enjoyment.
“There are many small elements at play that contribute to making all the difference; Fountaine Pajot sailing catamarans have been designed to sail, efficiently and safely.”
Comfort, safety and onboard enjoyment
At Fountaine Pajot, we believe that while the eternal quest for optimal comfort is a key priority, it should never compromise a catamaran's ability to satisfy these fundamental performance needs.
While reversed bows mean better seaworthiness and make life easier for the crew, they also translate to better performance. A boom at a reasonable height creates a more effectively positioned centre of gravity with safe and easy access if needed. A cockpit that grants you control of everything on the boat is practical, convenient and ensures you maintain in constant contact with your crew.
The confidence of feeling in control of your boat is essential for every sailor.
Comfort at sea is synonymous with a yacht that ‘sails’ well, smoothly and in harmony with the elements. Then, when it’s time to anchor, our yachts offer all the comfort you could need for your cherished ‘sailor’s rest’. Because that is deserved right of a seafarer: to fully enjoy the experiences of every day. A sailor with a good evening’s rest is a more relaxed and effective sailor the next day! And they same applies to all onboard.
