Web: Fountain Pajot New Web Site

French catamaran builder Fountaine Pajot presents its new world wide web site. This French boat builder who since its early years concentrated its production on catamarans first of sail and later on in 1998 to fuel engines powered models was founded in 1976, on the coast of La Rochelle by the Olympic competitor Jean-Francois Fountaine . The first Fountaine Pajot was a 505 dinghy with four persons doing the job. Two years pass and a new yard is purchased in Aigrefeuille, and two further dinghy models are introduced the 420, and 470. In 1980 Fountaine Pajot alters course and builds the first prototype half toner IOR Racer which will become World Champion, and take the Figaro solo race establishing an important name in Ocean racing. But it will be 1981 which marks an important turn around for Fountaine Pajot when it builds its first multi hull yacht with the 18 meter racing trimaran the Royal which was entirely built in foam core sandwich for Lois Caradec, and Philippe Facque. This is followed in 1983 with the first production built catamaran also in foam core sandwich construction and a design to Joubert and Nivelt, the 37 Louisiane which will go on to sell 55 units. After the first production model is launched more will follow with the second model the 26 Corneel designed by Eric Bruneel taking Boat of the Year by Bateaux Magazine. Another important step occurs in 1990 with Fountaine Pajot recruiting architect Olivier Flahault, who still as today designs most of Fountaine Pajot models. 1998 marks the first engine only Trawler Catamarans range first with the 37 Maryland sold in 78 units, and then followed by the 34 Greenland in 2000. Fountaine Pajot continues to advance in technology and standards and in 1999 it gets ISO9002 version 1994 certification, which is followed by its first infusion constructed 40 Lavezzi model in 2002. Todays Fountaine Pajot offers a total of ten models in two ranges starting from the power 37 Catamaran Motor Yacht, to the still in project 67 from the sailing range.  Fountaine Pajot largest ever built is the 80 Taiti. The power Trawler Catamaran range offers three models; 37 Catamaran Motor Yacht, 40 MY Catamaran Motor Yacht, and 44 MY Catamaran Motor Yacht. Fountaine Pajot new website  takes you around with the following buttons: Home, The Shipyard, Sailing Catamaran, Motor Yacht, Catamarans Day Charters, Investors, Contact, Photo Library, and Yacht Club.  Fountaine Pajot is also on social media with Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube page links located at the bottom of the page.

Projects: Fountaine Pajot 55 Queensland, Fountaine Pajot 40 Summerland

Fountaine Pajot presents 2 project models set to increase its Power Catamaran range in size and in offer. The first of these is the new flagship 55 Queensland, build on the experience gained with the 46 Cumberland, current biggest model. The 55 Queensland includes everything you could think in a boat of much bigger dimensions most of all as any catamaran is the immense salon combining lounge, dining room, galley and navigation room all this in a refined, luxurious atmosphere. Outside living areas continue the feeling of space with a huge flybridge combining outdoor galley, salon, sundeck, and the helm station. Fountaine Pajot also says of impeccable sea keeping for the new flagship with good waves absorption at speed, but also no rolling at beam seas or at anchor, easy manoeuvrability with dual engines, and last advises a 40% reduction in fuel consumption thanks to careful wet area study. Giving example of this are the power numbers which with twin 2 x 435hp Volvo D6 engines give a range of 1300 nautical miles at 11 knots, with this reduced to 460 nautical miles at the maximum cruising of 20 knots. If one desires more power a bigger engine option of twin 670hp D11 Volvos giving a max of 26 knots is available. 55 Queensland lower deck is a three cabin head version, with full starboard hull use for the owners cabin, and a crew cabin forward on the port side. The other project model is the 40 Summerland, which will sit in the middle of the range between the 35 and 46 models. Designed for cruising, this new project wants to offer great comfort in terms of navigation and life on board. Its open spaces free of obstacles, sheltered cockpit and direct access to the flybridge make for easy sailing. The flybridge offers a sundeck, wide seats and an outside helm. Lower deck continues the theme for an open environment with light and comfort, with a saloon offering a dining area for 8 persons, and an easy access galley. Two passageways on both sides take you to the lower decks. The starboard side has the owner cabin fitted with a bed across and view out to sea, desk, dressing table and a private bathroom. To portside, two other fine guest cabins with double beds or twin beds, a shower and storage spaces. 40 Summerland also benefits from the incredible autonomy and range of what Fountaine Pajot calls the trawler catamarans, I would say not much trawler accept for the range and a lot of catamaran for the extra space. Performance data with twin Volvo D3 160hp is an 18 knot maximum speed, and top cruising of 13,5 knots. Range is an impressive 1000 miles at 7.5 knots burning less to 11 litres per hour.
