Fountaine Pajot Yachts For Sale

The company is set in its sights to ensure they are the very best in the cruising catamaran industry. In the beginning, the centre-boarders; a 505, 470 and 420 —were built with composite sandwich construction —never before seen or used.
IOR prototypes were impressive in their winning some of this period’s premier races. Fountaine Pajot’s first multihulls soon followed – the Royale trimaran and the Charente Maritime catamaran (which outdid all its competitors doing her first transoceanic race). The key ingredients —innovation and experience —catapulted Fountaine Pajor to new heights!
