Here is your chance to own a Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 for a fraction of the price. This 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.

SAMA was overturned during Hurricane Dorian in September 2019 in the Bahamas. It landed on the bow of another boat which pushed into the aft port corner of the saloon, crushing the corner of the roof and breaking one side window and the rear window and door frame. The roof has since been propped up, but needs to be fibreglassed back into position and replace the windows etc. The cockpit roof support poles also need replacing, which have been propped up with wood for now.

There are two Volvo D2-55HP inboard diesel engines both running in good condition with sail drives, about 250 hours. One sacrificial keel is damaged. There were a few minor impacts on the hull, these have been temporarily glassed before salvaging. All repairs below the waterline were made during the salvage process so that the vessel is now floating on its own bottom. One of the damaged areas extends above the waterline and has not yet been fibreglassed. However there was thankfully no bulkhead or internal structural damage, just what can be seen to the saloon roof. The mast base area is clean and tidy ready for a new rig to be installed.

Equipment: The interior of both hulls is in very good condition. There are two large cabins at each end of the port hull, with complete walk-around access. Between the cabins in the port hull are two separate spacious bathroom ensuites; complete with electric head, vanity and separate modern shower. The Owner’s Version starboard hull has a large master cabin aft, then desk and storage area, a separate electric head, and more storage within the generous master bathroom in the forward component of the starboard hull.

The saloon obviously needs some work, mainly the galley area. There is also damage to the cockpit bimini roof; as well as some rails, lifelines and stanchions.

The DC switch panel, water pumps, bilge pumps, lights, fans, toilets, shower pumps, windlass, and battery monitor are all working. The generator is dry but haven’t got it running yet. The air conditioning should be working on shore power.

The helm controls have been fastened in place with wood for now. Need to put new handles on the engine controls. Both rudder shafts are bent but this boat can be steered as-is and driven to another location to continue the necessary repairs.

A new mast, boom, standing rigging, running rigging and LED mast lights can be installed in Florida for USD$249,000 total purchase price. The mainsail and genoa are undamaged, and included in excellent condition.

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 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.
