Fountaine Pajot Saona 47

Showing the future of the range?

After 40 years in existence and nearly 3000 boats built, the Fountaine Pajot yard counts only two models at 14 m: the Bahia and the Salina. The Casamance, the first flagship in 1985 was only 13m! The Saona 47, unveiled at the 2017 International Multihull Show at La Grande Motte in the south of France, now occupies a strategic position between the Helia 44 and the Saba 50. So what’s it all about?

Under maxi asymmetric spi and square-topped membrane mainsail, the Saona 47 expresses Fountaine Pajot’s new character
Nothing prevents this (very) comfortable catamaran from romping along in a breeze
A good point for the ergonomics of the Saona: the helm station and the access to it are central to the spaces dedicated to comfortable relaxation
Lounge deck, beach club and other sunbathing areas all have their place on a catamaran dedicated to enjoyment
The access to the flybridge is safe and fluid and does not disturb the helmsman: a success!
Even in good breezes, it’s pleasant to stay up on the flybridge
A generous outdoor table for 6/8 guests. The cockpit refrigerator and the integrated grill transform this area which is well protected from the sun and the wind into a delicious "French waterside eatery"
An "urban chic" style in good taste, well designed and skillfully transposed into the marine world
The near-disappearance of the interior dining area is the current trend with this size of boat
The good quality Alpi cabinetry highlights the creative interior layout
The deck saloon opens wide onto the cockpit. The upholstery has been redesigned. Note the portlights in the coachroof ceiling which allow a direct view of the set of the sails from inside
The owner's cabin: you’re guaranteed to be won over!
The bathrooms on the Saona are particularly well-designed
Access to the bunks, ventilation and light have all been the subject of particular attention by the interior designer
The hydraulic platform for the dinghy (with lateral mechanisms) also serves to function as a beach club
Nice, clear technical installations, and an accessible battery bank
