Romain Motteau, Managing Director, claims that ‘this is not the latest Fountaine Pajot, but the first of a whole new generation’. Thanks to the trust built up over the years, Berret-Racoupeau yacht Design has been able to be particularly innovative and creative in creating a catamaran that ‘completely renews the genre and sets new, much higher standards for 40-foot catamarans’, confirms Olivier Racoupeau. An exterior revolution, with a cockpit more open than ever to the sea, 2000W of solar panels on the roof, a huge sundeck forward, but above all an elegance of lines ‘usually reserved for much larger models’, says the shipyard. Larger is also the impression given by the accommodation, although ‘it’s very difficult to start with the smallest catamaran in the range’ admits Isabelle Racoupeau. However, the NEW 41 already boasts a number of innovations that will become even more important in future models, such as the magnificent double berths facing the large hull portholes, the roof windows that open wide at the front, and the attention to detail that translates into an exceptional level of comfort. Available in an electric version, but above all with particularly high performance under sail, the NEW 41 opens the way for carbon-free cruising. Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design is particularly proud to be working with our long-standing partner, Fountaine Pajot, in this direction.
