Saona 47

Fountaine Pajot's Saona 47 represents a significant evolution in the French builder's cruising catamaran lineup, offering an impressive balance of performance and comfort for bluewater sailing. Built between 2016 and 2020, this twin-hulled design from the renowned Berret-Racoupeau naval architecture firm showcases modern catamaran engineering with its fractional sloop rig and twin keel configuration. With its generous 25.30-foot beam and substantial displacement of over 30,000 pounds, the Saona 47 prioritizes stability and interior volume without sacrificing sailing performance. The 807 square feet of sail area provides adequate power for coastal and offshore cruising, while the relatively shallow 4.20-foot draft opens up access to protected anchorages and shallow waters that would challenge deeper-keeled monohulls. Fountaine Pajot's reputation for building robust, well-appointed cruising catamarans shines through in the Saona 47's fiberglass construction and thoughtful layout. The twin 50-horsepower engines (100 HP total) ensure reliable auxiliary power for maneuvering in tight quarters or motoring in calm conditions. This design particularly appeals to couples or families seeking comfortable long-distance cruising with the stability, space, and shallow-water capabilities that only a well-designed catamaran can provide.
