Fountaine Pajot Lavezzi 40
1 current listing in our evaluation (as at 03.11.2026).
What distinguishes the model
- Sails very well for a charter catamaran: 90 m² of sail area, low weight and a powerful rig deliver brisk trade-wind passages.
- The protected helm station at the bulkhead offers a safe place offshore and is regarded as a clear advantage over open helm stations.
- Refitted boats with the underwater hull blasted back to the laminate and additional bulkheads are, according to the final survey report, markedly stronger than from the factory.
