2014 Fountaine Pajot Helia 44

This 2014 Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 is a composite catamaran spanning 45 feet with a 24-foot beam. Power comes from two Volvo Penta diesel engines of 110 hp each. The boat features three cabins and three heads, laid out to accommodate extended cruising.

The yacht was comprehensively prepared in 2024 for long-distance voyaging. The propulsion systems underwent full overhaul, with each engine running under 500 hours. The running rigging is Dyneema, and the sails include a mainsail with lazy bag and lazy jacks, working jib, and code 0. Recent 2024 additions include a Garmin navigation system, teak cockpit decking, cockpit canvases, cockpit upholstery, a 35 kg stainless steel anchor, and Coppercoat hull protection. An 8-person life raft and comprehensive safety kit are aboard.

The boat is configured for self-sufficiency with 860 watts of solar panels, a 50-liter-per-hour watermaker, and a 4000-watt generator (540 hours). Climate control includes air conditioning. The galley is equipped with a washing machine, dryer, and additional electric oven. Refrigeration and freezer systems, along with the tender engine and watermaker, were serviced in 2024.
