FP44

Replacing the Astréa 42 and the Elba 45

The FP44 will make a clean sweep of the range, eclipsing the Astrea 42 and Elba 45. This second new model, presented at Cannes by the yard as a particularly convivial cruising catamaran, puts the emphasis on relaxation areas - a 100- square foot (9.2 m²) forward sunlounger, a 115-sq ft (10.7 m²) lounge deck on the flybridge and an additional lounger in the cockpit.

While the manufacturer has remained faithful to its dual helm/maneuvering station, a superb Tesla-style control screen is now available.

Inside, the FP44 features wide forward openings, but notably sees the return of the island unit - this had deserted the nacelle of the Saona 47, which became the Tanna 47.

The 44 was designed from the outset to be available in a hybrid-electric version. In this green spirit, the catamaran can be fitted with 2,300 Wp of solar panels.
