Sailing catamaran Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42

Sailing catamaran Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42

The Astrea 42 is a spacious, well-designed catamaran with a host of features for comfortable long-haul cruising. The 42-foot (12-meter) sailing catamaran features plenty of natural light, distinctive hull lines, elegant living spaces and unrivaled levels of comfort.

This catamaran combines all the essentials to ensure an impeccable quality of life on board. The Astrea 42 completes the Fountaine Pajot range, covering all size ranges from 40 to 67 feet.

The helm station is located high above the decks on the starboard side, which provides excellent visibility under sail. This location of the helm station will be convenient not only when sailing at sea, but also when navigating in the marina and in limited space.

All sail control elements are brought as close as possible to the steering post for the convenience of sailing. The boom-sheet track is installed on the roof of the cockpit, slightly further from the steering post - this position will allow you to quickly bring the mainsail into the optimal shape for the current situation. The boom is relatively low, which will allow you to easily stow the mainsail in the bag.

Another nice bonus is the bowsprit, which allows you to quickly raise the Code Zero sails and gennaker. The entire Astrea 42 control system – from the sails to the batteries – is tailored to the convenience of the skipper and crew. However, you can even control the Astrea 42 alone.

Astrea 42 is a catamaran with excellent performance and maneuverability. Among other features of the catamaran, it is worth highlighting the reverse stems, a convenient steering wheel and an abundance of natural light in the saloon and cabins. The interior spaces are designed in such a way as to make the most of all the free space. Whatever layout you choose, Astrea 42 will give you unforgettable comfort and safety.
