(published September 2016-boat show preview)
Introduced to the American audience at last winter’s Miami boat show, the Lucia 40 is an innovative new model in the well-established line of cruising cats from French builder Fountaine Pajot. The boat’s lines are thoroughly modern and eye-catching. The rig is tall enough to give the boat plenty of sail power for fast sailing. The standard accommodations have an owner’s suite in one hull and two guest cabins in the other. For family cruising and living aboard, the new Lucia 40 has a lot going for it. The 40 will be joined at the Annapolis show by the Helia 44 and Saba 50. www.catamarans-fountaine-pajot.com
