The French builder is developing a ‘New 51’ sailing cat with a fully integrated solar-power system, an illustration of what the yard promises will be a new sustainability-focused offering.
Fountaine Pajot has a history of offering eco-friendly solutions on its catamarans, which include the option of installing solar panels across the hardtop or on the aft end of the flybridge. Solar panels are an option on the French yard’s full range, which includes seven sailing catamarans from the new Isla 40 to the stunning Alegria 67, which made its Asian premiere at the Singapore Yacht Show in 2019.
However, now in its 45th year since being founded in 1976, Fountaine Pajot has revealed that it’s on the cusp of announcing wholesale changes to its approach to sustainability that will fundamentally change its offerings and steer the brand into a new generation.
The motor yacht range comprises the MY4.S launching later this year, the renamed MY5 and MY6 (formerly MY40 and MY44), and the Power 67, which was delivered to its owner in Greece last year and is the motor yacht version of the Alegria.
