New 44

The New 44 will make a clean sweep of the range, eclipsing the Astrea 42 and Elba 45. This new model, presented by the builder 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 New 44 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 New 44 was designed from the outset to be available in a hybrid-electric version. In this green spirit, this catamaran can be fitted with 2,400 Wp of solar panels on the coachroof, aft on the bimini, and on the trampolines.
