It is indeed a big beautiful boat and Fontaine Pajot has a long time experience but 66 tons, 540hp doesn't sound like a sailing boat to me. It looks a lot like something made for someone who cares about looks. Saying so, Mr Hodges would probably not answer while agreeing for obvious reasons. I dream about a boat I've never seen but that's ok. Happy new year

The high horsepower is necessary to move the large mass of this yacht while motoring. When catamarans attain this size they are seldom intended by manufacturers to be purist sailing yachts. Passenger accommodations come first. I find the carbon rig spec a little odd since this FP80 is anything but a performance cruiser. I guess weight reduction high up will help under certain situations. I see this yacht as a luxury charter first and foremost with its sailing capability to help reduce fuel costs.

I love the high bows. The enclosed foredeck, not so much. More than enough room for a forward dual helm position with a side door onto that beautiful bulwarks for a proper side inspection while docking. I would set it up completely different. Generous garage areas in the stern, then engine/mechanical, then lounge/library one side mirrored into a pantry area other. Then the most selfish consumption of space you've ever seen in a master suite. Finished off by a separated sail locker/fore-peak cabins with en-suite. Galley up, of course. The party always ends up in the kitchen. Boat set up super lite for max performance and four passenger/crew in style. Room for four more in the fore-peaks if the need ever arises. Let's hope not. I'd have none of that 4 other cabins worth of dead weight and drama. Space better spent in a spare parts locker, bigger engine room, better batteries, freezer space and better friends.

The Fountaine Pajot 80 is about 14 Tons lighter than the SunReef 80. It would be nice to have a comparisment in the performance of both ships. More luxorious interior equals less knots crusing speed? Both ships are a killer in living space, but do you need that much for a family of three? Don't take me wrong, I am looking for a live on board for us and trying to find the perfect match. May be 70 Ft is better.

@brownnoise357 11 ай бұрын

Seriously charter one first just so you can check you are OK with the Bucking Bronco Corkscrew motion that Catamarans all suffer from. One of my favourite Sailing Channels on KZbin is Sailing Sisu, who have a Leopard 45. Me, I just can't coexist with that Motion, and I'm glad I had Sea Trials to check them out prior to Purchase. Pass, Once ine Hull hits a wave prior to the other, you are into it, which makes beating to Windward a real Nightmare "For Me" So just check that you aren't as similarly afflicted as I am? Fingers crossed you aren't. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍🌟🌟🌟❤️

@Rodrifuuu 11 ай бұрын

If you are seriously looking for a liveaboard and not for chartering, then a 70ft is not a good idea, unless you want the family of 3 to be crewing all the time. You can't singlehand something like this. If you want to actually relax while on passage, you'll want something 40-50 ft that can be handled by one person most of the time. If you have money for a 70-80ft, then you can get something that actually sails properly, unlike these things. A Balance 526 for example would be more than enough for 3 (but they do 70 footers as well if you really want a large boat). I would look into brands that are not just about luxury but also about performance and build quality. Balance, Outremer, Windelo, Catana, etc. Make sure you sail at least a week on the boats you're interested in to make sure you like them.

@@Rodrifuuu Agreed on the 40 to 50 foot range , at least for Monohulls, as people don't seem to realise just how difficult it can be to find a Marina Berth even for a 50 foot Monohull Lots of places will not accept Catamarans or Trimarans, because they just take up so much Space, plus where the heck are you going to get them Hauled out ? Great advice to try them out for at least a week, and sailing into the Wind and waves, and especially an angled approach to the waves, so the hulls arive at the wave at different times must be tested for a good period of time, say 8 hours, just to see if you can get on with that motion - it's a sort of Bucking Bronco Corkscrew motion, and frankly, I just can't handle it, and it really does my head in. Remember, in the Real World, you can be stuck with that motion for literally Days. Hence hand on heart, I can Co firm that Catamarans of all Sizes literally Hate Me, so please check to make sure they don't hate you as well. Luckily for me, I get on like a house on fire with Monohulls, which saves me a literal Fortune every year, on Maintenance, Haulouts , Berthing fees, and omg, guess what, I can usually fi d even better views at Anchor, than you can get from a Catamaran. Why ? because I can get into and out of places you Can't with a Cat, of and definitely not as tempting a Target for Pirates and Wreckers either- though my last Sailboat was lost to a Wrecking Gang Working New York Harbour. Whoda Thunk ? 🤔 Best Wishes, and best of luck with finding the right Boat for you. Bob. 👍🌟🌟🌟❤️

@brownnoise357 10 ай бұрын

@@jamesaron1967 A Beamy Monohull with a good Hull design if sailed properly obrains good performance with everything being the least stressed, if sailed as upright as possible, which means little heeling. This also blows the fallacy of needing two rudders out of the Water, because the rudder obviously stays pretty vertical, plus has the advantage of not having way too much Space on Deck and interior space for the boat to hurl people around when it gets the wave Contact Bucking Bronco Corkscrew effect that afflicts all Catamarans which also tend to totally suck at making progress upwind. Annual Costs are far higher for a Catamaran as well. Yes Catamarans do have very significant downsides, but marketing people really don't like even mentioning them do they ? If caught in severely deteriorating Conditions - it happens - I'll take the greatly reduced Structural Profile Silhouette of a Monohull , even if it has had a silly deck saloon slapped on it thanks very much. Pay your money, and you go where you want, on what you want basically. Me ? I'll be able to go to places that lots of Catamarans with people on them who tend not to know how to Sail or even bloody Anchor securely can't get to. Good luck with those sorts of people dominating your Anchorages.Party On Bro. Best Wishes. Bob.

Have the French catamaran makers gone American: If you can't beat the new competition on quality, beat them in size! Nice boat, more a floating home or charter business, than really a home or boat for cruising. That is the problem with these things, about from the pricetag. I hope those extra sugar scoop garage doors into the engine bays are seriously watertight or the acclaimed redundancy of a catamaran, with two engines, steering quadrants and all that could be gone in one bad wave hitting that boat from the aft. The space and look of that thing is stunning though. Happy New Year!

Even though I just can’t get on with Catamarans because they really hate me, there is one that looks to be a very nice Cruising home and I don’t miss a video of their KZbin Channel - Sailing Sisu, and theirs is a Leopard 45. But going to windward in pretty bad weather, the unsynchronised timing of the hulls meeting a wave, and there’s that Bucking Bronco CorkscrewMotion that really does my head in. Fair play though, the Owners do not appear to be affected by it. So to me, anyone seriously considering buying a Catamaran, would probably find it advisable to Charter one for a week or more, and deliberately Sail into waves so the hulls connect at different times, inducing that motion, just to make 100% Sure that they aren’t as badly affected as I am by that motion ? It would be terrible to find out After Buying One, that Catamarans hate you as much as they hate me. Sod’s Law The Wind direction seems to always be coming from where you are heading to, and it can be literally days of seeming never ending Corkscrew Motion. I was lucky with a test sail of a Prout I was interested in Buying, had an ok six hours downwind, but heading back was almost nine hours beating painfully back to port. My dreams of having a Catamaran ended there. Luckily, Monohulls have worked out nicely for me, and fingers crossed, I’ve got at least two more in me to enjoy before I get a small live aboard motor cruiser to be able to stay afloat in a boat There’s a Polish Yard that makes nice ones, but only Single Diesel inboards at the moment, so for the Caribbean etc, I need a backup inboard Diesel.

@Rodrifuuu 11 ай бұрын

Depends. For a boat like this it will make no difference whatsoever since it's already so heavy. On a 10-12 ton performance catamaran it does shave off some weight and translate into higher speeds.

@jamesaron1967 10 ай бұрын

I see it as bling. If a customer is going to spend several million on a yacht like this what's a little more for the carbon rig option? On a smaller yacht, however, it could make a significant difference in rough seas due to the reduced weight up high having less momentum, so less pitching which could also yield better performance numbers. On this yacht at 66 tons, no way will it help in that respect. Since carbon is also a lightning magnet, it might just be better to retain the aluminum mast and save a few bucks to be spent on accessories, IMHO.
