UPDATE 2018: This awesome model has been replaced by the FP Elba 45.
The Helia 44 is a very successful catamaran in the size range with more than 130 boats sold since the launch in 2012. However popular, Fountaine Pajot has
introduced a range of improvements on the original design. Dimensions and specifications remain the same for the most part. Mainly, the changes are cosmetics that add comfort and luxury. A few of the changes include:
- Interesting New Owner Suite: The Owner’s Suite in the Maestro version now incorporate an upgraded ensuite with expansive shower (80 x 85cm), separate toilet, generous wardrobe, and a very practical laundry for convenience on extended passages
- New Portholes: Redesigned portholes in the hulls to increase natural light by 30%
- Redesigned bigger saloon: The newly recessed mast creates brilliant panoramic vistas from the saloon and allows even more natural light and extra seating
- Redesigned Davits: New stainless steel davits on deck provide even greater strength and durability
- This new version, Helia 44 Evolution will be available from November 2014.
