One of my most vivid memories of this strange year that has been 2020 are the tests of the new Fountaine Pajot models. With the Cannes Yachting Festival abandoned, the builder organized private days on the corresponding dates – as did most of their colleagues - to showcase two new multihulls, the Isla 40 and the Samana 59.
This took place in Bandol, in the South of France, back in September. What about our tests? Well, they came right after the private days, at the same time as the photo shoot and the delivery of the Samana. There we were on board - as ashore - with owners, models, photographers, a helicopter... and of course the team from the yard. In short, a joyful and delicious human maelstrom, under the soft September sun of the Mediterranean... After a few months in reverse and a second lockdown, those few days in Bandol were a little bit crazy and felt to me to be our best answer to these strange times we are going through. Yes, our passion is intact! Yes, more than ever, we want to share it with you. What’s the solution for all of us? Adaptability, every time, over and over!
