We are all waiting with bated breath for the unveiling of the new Fountaine Pajot 40 on December 4th in Paris. We managed to get some pictures from the La Rochelle factory from the launch of the first FP40. This new Fountaine Pajot cat looks very promising! The new Fountaine Pajot 40 replaces the Lipari 41. In terms of volume, the FP40 is considerably larger than the the Lipari 41 with more interior volume. The emphasis of the FP40 is sailing performance with an above-average sail area that is easy to manage. This catamaran offers a luxurious interior similar to the larger catamaran models. The accommodations are very spacious with lots of storage and walk-around island berths in the owner suite, one of the most requested features for cruising catamarans.
