The official launching of the last Fountaine Pajot catamaran model has been during the La Grande Multihull event. The new FP 42 has been finally officially announced on the Wednesday 18th of April 2018, and becomes the Astrea 42. The new Fountaine Pajot catamaran Astrea 42 owns perfect specification and solutions on the design and the accommodation of the living areas onboard.
\nThe Fountaine Pajot shipyard wanted to improve once again his sailing catamaran range making the Astrea 42 distinguished by its abundance of natural lights, energeic lines, elegant living spaces and unparalleled comfort, while delivering sheer pleasure underway. A catamaran to share as a couple or with family and friends, this new catamaran promises every leg preserving the classic identity of the Fountaine Pajot sailing catamaran’s range. She features all the elements that contributed to making their latest new boat, the Saona 47, a huge international success. Her inverted bow, the new signature mark of the range, gives the boat an elegant and dynamic line while offering incomparable interior space.<\/p>\n
The Astrea 42 was conceived and designed to facilitate free-flowing movement throughout the boat, as well as linking the helm station with the outdoor relaxation and living spaces from coach roof to cockpit. The coach roof features a double seat at the helm station and built-in sun lounger for enjoying idyllic days together. The spacious cockpit, equipped with an optional integrated plancha grill, is the perfect place to relax and feel at one with the sea, enhanced by the Beach Club option that provides an embedded gangway flush with her line. The incredibly comfortable lounge has been designed with expansive panoramic windows that bathe the interior in natural light. Her U-hsaped galley transitions seamlessly with the cockpit courtesy of a vast sliding pocket door.<\/p>\n
