Nominated by the jury of Multihulls World magazine, the New 41 is in the running in the “cruising” category for Multihull of the Year 2025. Spearheading the new generation of Fountaine Pajot catamarans, the New 41 has everything it takes to win over the public.
If you’re an admirative member of the Fountaine Pajot brand, a loyal owner, a member of our extended family, your vote counts to elect the brand-new New 41 catamaran.
Unveiled with great excitement at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 last September, this new-generation catamaran was presented to the public during a keynote speech held by Romain Motteau, Managing Director of Fountaine Pajot. The launch met with great enthusiasm, and the first orders quickly followed, confirming the interest of sailing and cruising catamaran enthusiasts.
Designed to meet the expectations of an increasingly demanding clientele, the New 41 stands out with a strong promise: to offer more for the same price. More living space, more volume, more possibilities. It embodies Fountaine Pajot’s new generation of catamarans and paves the way for a redesigned range, recently enhanced with the announcement of the New 44 at the Düsseldorf Boat Show. Further announcements will follow in 2025, reinforcing this commitment to innovation and evolution.
As usual, the New 41 is available in several configurations. Either in the Quatuor version with 4 double cabins, or in the Maestro version with 3 double cabins, including a spacious 151 sqft (14m²) owner’s cabin on the port side. But it’s not just its spaciousness that makes the New 41 such an exceptional boat. Its ergonomics have been carefully reworked to offer optimum comfort: a redesigned helm station, more relaxation and seating areas, a plancha moved to starboard for better accessibility, and simplified circulation thanks to reduced step heights to access the aft bathing platform. Performance under sail has not been forgotten, with a pronounced redan on the hulls providing a thinner waterline, as well as more volume and habitability in the hulls. The shipyard has also placed particular emphasis on eco-navigation, integrating solar panels on the coachroof from the outset, as well as optional solar panels in place of the bow trampolines, for a total of 2,300W of output. With the New 41, future owners will be able to opt for the ODSea+ pack, which offers greater autonomy at sea thanks to increased lithium battery capacity and hybrid electric motors.
This avant-garde positioning and its remarkable innovations have not escaped the expert eye of Multihulls World, which has shortlisted the New 41 in the Best Multihull of the Year 2025 category. This prestigious nautical magazine, a reference in the world of multihulls, distinguishes each year the most outstanding models in various categories. A jury of experts, made up of specialized journalists and experienced sailors, selects the nominees, before opening the voting to the public. The task of electing the year’s best catamaran from among the finalists, of which the New 41 from Fountaine Pajot is one, therefore falls to boating enthusiasts and amateurs.
