Sources
Dimensions/displacement/sail area per SAIL Magazine's boat review (which also lists the resulting D/L ratio of 131 and SA/D of 22, both consistent with the displacement and sail area figures given). SAIL's review reports LOA and LWL as the same figure (58'9"); cruising-catamaran coverage often doesn't distinguish the two given minimal bow/stern overhang, so used that single sourced figure for both rather than estimating. Fiberglass hulls and structural bulkheads molded with balsa cores, reinforced with carbon in way of high loads; specific resin (polyester/vinylester/epoxy) not stated in this source, left not_specified. Mast material not explicitly stated; defaulted to aluminum, standard across Fountaine Pajot's range. Double-spreader rig, square-top mainsail, double forestays. Verified 2026-07-12. [Rudder/tankage/electrical update, 2026-07-16]: Rudder type not confirmed in available sources -- hydraulic steering is documented but rudder blade configuration wasn't, left null rather than assume. Fuel 1,200L/317gal, water 1,150L/~303.8gal. No holding-tank or electrical-system data found.
