Fountaine Pajot Elba 45: Owner Testimonial from Cindy & Ubi

Cindy and Ubi Figueirido have embraced the live-aboard lifestyle, thanks to their new Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 'Astro Van', sold and commissioned by ACY Yachts. The couple shared their story with us during the Annapolis Sailboat Show in the Fall of 2024, from their initial research to visiting the Fountaine Pajot factory in La Rochelle. Learn why the Elba 45 was the perfect choice for them, and where they are headed next... Psst! At the time this video goes live, they're enjoying the crystal waters of the Bahamas. This could be you! While they initially set eyes on the Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42, under the guidance of their yacht consultant Josef Buxton, the couple soon discovered the Elba would be a better fit for them. Indeed, no need to compromise on comfort nor storage on the Elba 45: everything has been designed to meet their cruising goals -- while allowing them to safely sail the boat short-handed in total confidence. They shared some valuable insights on the yacht commissioning process and sang the praises of Ken Krasko, ACY's Technical Director, who assists all new ACY owners in the outfitting of their boat. Josef Buxton is a Yacht Consultant and Flagship Specialist with ACY Yachts. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the Fountaine Pajot catamarans and the shipyard's commitment to quality, Josef is passionate about helping his clients choose the right boat for their sailing goals. Nothing brings him more joy that the smile of his customers as they describe their love for their new boat upon delivery and after taking to the sea on their new Fountaine Pajot! Congratulations Cindy and Ubi, we look forward to seeing you the water, wherever 'Astro Van' may take you! Fair winds and following seas!
