New Fountaine Pajot bluewater catamaran
Helia 44 breaks the cruising cat mouldFountaine Pajot, a leader in cruising catamaran technology and design, has again raised the bar with a $2.5 million R&D investment in a new blue-water sailing catamaran called the Helia 44.
The result of in-depth collaboration with the Berret Racoupeau architects office, the Helia 44 is now under construction at Fountaine Pajot’s high-tech manufacturing facilities in La Rochelle, France.
With its name derived from the Greek term for ‘ray of light,’ the Helia 44 will be the 19th model launched by Fountaine Pajot in its 30-year history.
The catamaran will be officially released on June 27 at this year's annual Fountaine Pajot International Dealers Conference in France. The boat builder says the Helia 44 will be the most exciting bluewater cruising catamaran of its size in the world today.
Impressive offshore performance, optimal safety and ease of handling are at the forefront of the Helia 44’s design. But there are other features that set new standards in the cruising catamaran market.
Clerestory windows bathe the expansive living areas in natural light, while the cabins are fitted with generous windows to afford unprecedented views. The high volume saloon and accommodation areas are complemented by an elegance and contemporary design.
