The Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 is a performance-oriented catamaran built for serious cruising. This 2013 owner's version combines the hallmark open living spaces the design is known for with a beam of 24.3 feet that creates an exceptionally spacious cockpit. Two Volvo Penta diesel engines of 110 horsepower each provide reliable propulsion, while twin 110-horsepower engines ensure confident handling in a range of conditions.
The accommodation spans three generous cabins, including a full-beam master suite, with three heads throughout. The saloon is arranged with a U-shaped galley, ample storage and refrigeration, a central navigation station, and a large seating area. The helm features a sport top dodger that provides weather protection and visibility while sailing.
Significant upgrades have been completed: new standing rigging, new mast and boom, and a complete suit of new sails were all installed in 2025, along with full replacement of the running rigging. The helm station brings all lines back to three winches, including an electric halyard winch. Equipment for extended cruising includes a generator, watermaker, and Starlink satellite internet. Solar panels have been upgraded. The wide cockpit accommodates performance winches and offers ample space for steering and entertaining.
