Lipari 41

The study was carried out in the greatest secrecy, as was the realisation of the moulds. On this Lipari, we can of course recognise the harmonious lines so characteristic of the catamarans produced by Fountaine Pajot. The 36, the 41 and the 44 have slightly rounded bows, unlike their bigger sisters, the 48 and 60, which have straight bows – a question of the architect’s choice. On first sight, we had the pleasant impression of climbing aboard a boat on a human scale which however offers sufficient space; aft of the cockpit, the manoeuvring area allows access to the dinghy, and a path from one sugar scoop to the other without interfering in the cockpit – the living and relaxing area whose layout is quite classical, with the table to port and the raised steering position to starboard. The main new feature of this 40-footer (compared to the Lavezzi), apart from the bigger area to starboard, lies in the rigid bimini, a solution initiated by Nautitech. Amongst the advantages of this formula is that work on the boom is made much easier, the mainsheet traveller track can be fitted to it, thus freeing up the cockpit from any constraints linked to manoeuvres and in addition, it frees up ...
