Seller's Description

2015 Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 catamaran 4 cabin layout, galley up Abaco, Bahamas

USD$349,000 with new mast, boom, standing rigging, running rigging and LED mast lights to be installed in Florida; or USD$299,000 as-is without.

Here is your chance to own a Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 catamaran for a fraction of the price. With no water damage, this vessel remained upright during Hurricane Dorian, unlike most other multihulls which were overturned. It would be a great headstart for a hands on buyer in the market for a project catamaran. Plenty of value in this deal as similar model Fountaine Pajot sister ships are selling in the neighbourhood of USD$550,000.

This vessel dragged its mooring and was washed ashore during Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas. Both sacrificial keels came off, but the hulls and internal bulkheads etc are all good. The keels can be repaired and then put back on again, or replaced with new ones.

There is significant damage to port rear transom from impact with another boat. Some damage to the cockpit roof at the port rear corner. Also minor damage to port bow and starboard midships from another boat. Plus some other smaller cracks etc from impacts. Port side lifelines damaged, starboard lifelines are okay. Davits are good, front crossbeam good.

Equipment: Both Yanmar 40HP inboard diesel engines are in good condition, with about 160 hours. This vessel does 9 knots flat out, or easily cruises at 7 knots. The steering is good, one rudder is bent but works fine.

Genoa headsail and full batten mainsail are included in good condition. A gennaker can also be included at additional cost. The vessel needs fibreglass repairs near the chainplates before a mast can be installed.

Northern Lights Generator works well, with 3800 hours. Air con works, all electrical working. Electric winch for dinghy and another at the helm, plus extra winches at the back. Windlass, anchor and chain good. Electronics at helm were stolen. Fuel and water gauges work. Fusion stereo works. All cushions and mattresses are good.

This vessel runs and drives on its own engines. It can be lived on today and motored away to another location to complete the necessary repairs!

This model FP Helia 44 provides plentiful natural light, superb ventilation and lovely private suites with large windows affording outstanding views. Spacious and comfortable both inside and out, the protected cockpit is designed for luxury dining and relaxation with a generous table and bench seating for up to 10 people. Thoughtfully integrated with the lounge deck, glass doors open onto the galley to create a large and beautifully comfortable entertaining space. This vessel also offers a beautifully efficient well equipped galley with large multi-drawer refrigerator and freezer. She has standard US plugs with 110V systems, hot and cold pressure water throughout, small cockpit refrigerator, fresh water transom shower and air conditioning. It also features electric fresh water heads, electric anchor windlass, and six winches. She holds 475L (124 gal) of diesel, 750L (185 gal) of water and draws 3ft 8 inches.

OWNER IS OPEN TO ALL OFFERS AND WILL CONSIDER REASONABLE DELIVERY.

Calculations

Hull Speed
?

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

?
Classic formula: ?
Sail Area/Displacement
14.6
<16: under powered

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
14.56
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
?

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
?
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
?

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
?
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
3.4
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
3.38
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
