Seller's Description
Sowilo is a 2020 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 Owners Version, offered for sale by her third private owner and never chartered. She is immaculately maintained and fully equipped for serious bluewater or off-grid cruising, with a thoughtfully upgraded systems suite including solar, lithium batteries, dual watermakers, and more. The layout is the highly sought-after Maestro version featuring a spacious owners hull to starboard with a king-size bed, generous storage, a walk-in shower, and a private head. The port hull includes two queen-size guest cabins, each with en-suite bathrooms one featuring a separate shower and the other a combined wet head.
The saloon offers 360 views, ample natural light, and a full nav station with integrated systems monitoring. A U-shaped galley is well-appointed with a large countertop, three independent fridge/freezer units, gas oven, stovetop, and additional cooking appliances including a pizza oven, plancha grill, and air fryer. The cockpit is shaded and spacious, with wraparound seating, a cockpit table, and access to both the helm and top deck, which offers dual sunloungers and panoramic views. A forward cockpit and large trampolines complete the exterior lounging areas.
Sowilo is equipped for energy independence and comfort, with 1,300 watts of solar, a Victron lithium house bank, a Victron Multiplus inverter/charger, Cerbo GX monitoring system, and a 13.5kW Onan generator. Electrical systems are based around 240V/50Hz AC and 12V DC, and include a shore transformer for worldwide compatibility. The vessel has air conditioning throughout, a small washing machine, and a full suite of Victron and Garmin electronics including autopilot, radar, AIS, and multiple MFDs.
Propulsion comes from twin Volvo D2-50 diesel engines with saildrives, complemented by a new Yamaha 25HP outboard on the tender. Recent upgrades include new anchor chain, trampoline, and various system services (generator, watermakers, engines). A wide array of tools, spares, safety gear, galleyware, and cruising equipment are included, making this a truly turn-k

Calculations

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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
13.0
<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.
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Capsize Screening
-

>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
