model reviews
boatFountaine Pajot Tanna 47 Review: The Blue-Water Builder
The Tanna 47 is Fountaine Pajot's offshore statement — built for ocean crossings, not just charter weeks. We sailed her to find out if she delivers.
boatFountaine Pajot Elba 45 Review: The Sailor's Premium Cat
The Elba 45 is the 45ft catamaran that actually sails. 100 m² of canvas, 13 tonnes, and an interior that finally rivals Lagoon. We test the full package.
boatFountaine Pajot Isla 40 Review: The Sailor's Catamaran
The Isla 40 points at 45°, weighs 1,400 kg less than its rival, and actually rewards trimming. This is the cat for people who sail.
