2008 Fountaine Pajot 48 Salina

2008 Fountaine Pajot Salina 48 — SUNBELIEVABLE EXCELLENT CONDITION • EXTENSIVELY UPDATED • NEVER CHARTERED • PERFORMANCE CRUISING CATAMARAN The ONLY Fountaine Pajot Salina 48 Currently on the Market in the USA! SUNBELIEVABLE is an exceptionally well-cared-for 2008 Fountaine Pajot Salina 48, offering an outstanding combination of sailing performance, blue-water capability, comfort, and livability. The Salina 48 is a 48-foot ocean-cruising catamaran designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by renowned French shipyard Fountaine Pajot. The design delivers the spacious accommodations expected from a modern cruising catamaran while maintaining the sailing performance for which Fountaine Pajot is known. SUNBELIEVABLE is the spacious, complete 4-cabin model, comfortably sleeping up to eight guests, with four private heads. This makes her particularly attractive for family cruising, entertaining guests, or extended voyages with friends. She is in excellent condition and has benefited from attentive ownership throughout her life. Both prior owners were avid sailors and meticulous about maintenance and care. She has never been chartered and presents as an exceptionally well-maintained and extensively updated example of this highly regarded design. Powerful & Efficient Propulsion SUNBELIEVABLE is powered by twin Volvo Penta D2-55 diesel engines with saildrives, providing reliable, efficient propulsion and an approximate 8-knot cruising speed. The engines, generator, and saildrives have all been recently serviced, making her well prepared for her next owner and extended cruising. Performance That Sets the Salina 48 Apart The Salina 48 is not simply a spacious cruising catamaran—she was designed to sail. With a Kelsall Sail Performance (KSP) rating of approximately 0.83, the Salina 48 compares very favorably with many production cruising catamarans from Lagoon and Leopard, which commonly fall in the approximately 0.60–0.65 KSP range. As a simplified performance comparison, a catamaran with a 0.65 KSP may be capable of approximately 6.5 knots in 10 knots of wind, while the Salina's 0.83 KSP indicates approximately 8.3 knots in the same wind strength, subject to point of sail, sea state, vessel loading, sail condition, and other variables. This places the Salina 48 among the faster production cruising catamarans in her class and gives owners something increasingly difficult to find: a catamaran offering livability, comfort, and genuine sailing performance. SUNBELIEVABLE is further equipped for performance with a bowsprit and dedicated winches for her asymmetrical spinnaker, providing increased downwind sailing capability.
