Models A–Z · Fountaine Pajot
Fountaine Pajot Lavezzi 40
1 current listing in our evaluation (as at 4 Nov 2026).
What distinguishes the model
- Sails very well for a charter catamaran: 90 m² of sail area, low weight and a powerful rig deliver brisk trade-wind passages.
- The protected helm station at the bulkhead offers a safe place offshore and is regarded as a clear advantage over open helm stations.
- According to the final surveys, refitted boats whose underwater hull has been grit-blasted down to the laminate and that have additional bulkheads are significantly stiffer than they were from the builder.
