► After an already eventful 2025 with the launch of the FP41, FP44 and Power 80, Fountaine Pajot is maintaining the pace in 2026 with no fewer than three new sailing catamarans set to debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival: the FP48, FP55 and FPY 70. We had the opportunity to sail hull #1 of the FP48 off La Rochelle, a model that has already secured 60 orders. ► Replacing the Tanna 47, the newcomer is designed to be more refined and comfortable. It gains 19" (49 cm) in length and 8" (20 cm) in beam, while light displacement increases by 3.68 t, only partially offset by an increase in upwind sail area from 1,389 sq ft (129 m²) to 1,442 sq ft (134 m²). ► The real design achievement? This significant move toward greater comfort is almost invisible. While the increased freeboard has been integrated very discreetly, the underwater profile has received just as much attention. The hull lines have been thoroughly reworked, and the mini-keels now extend to 5'5" (1.64 m) below the surface, compared with 3'11" (1.20 m) on the Tanna. ► On board, the builder’s signature features remain: a hydraulic platform, twin helm stations with duplicated controls, a central galley island, and a large forward opening between the saloon and cockpit. ► Our test boat was equipped with the ODSea+ hybrid electric propulsion system, illustrating Fountaine Pajot’s commitment to accelerating its energy transition. ► Technical Specifications: Builder: Fountaine Pajot Architects: Berret/Racoupeau Yacht Design Length Overall: 47'4" (14.43 m) Beam: 25'11" (7.90 m) Draft: 5'5" (1.64 m) Light Displacement: 18.4 t Mainsail: 915 sq ft (85 m²) Genoa: 527 sq ft (49 m²) Powertrain: 2 × 45 hp or 25 kW electric motors Fuel: 2 × 92 US gal (2 × 350 l) Water: 185 US gal (700 l) CE Category: A12/B14/C18/D22 Price: € 671,968 ex-tax ► www.fountaine-pajot.com ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
