Brand: FP 44 Orana

The highly anticipated Orana 44 replaced one of Fountaine Pajot’s greatest successes, the Belize 43. Designed by renowned Joubert/Nivelt team, the Orana 44 is ideal for high-performance ocean sailing or modified for charter. Boasting a high degree of comfort, the Orana 44 has a low centre of gravity to afford maximum safety and with a generous 110 square feet of sail area. New manufacturing technologies employed in the vessel include a single piece hull infused with composite partitions and a deckhouse constructed with RTM eco-technology, ensuring it affords complete respect to the environment. An innovative sliding bay provides direct open-plan access between the spacious saloon and cockpit, enhancing safety and easy of movement. The ergonomic helm station accommodates three people and groups all navigational manoeuvres together affording excellent visibility above the deckhouse.

The Orana 44 has sleek lines and perfect proportions with a rigid bimini that is seamlessly integrated into the overall design. Inside there is excellent headroom and a spacious ambience that has been achieved without compromising exterior aesthetics. A sunbathing deck aft of the catamaran.

The luminous interior comprises a light and airy galley that opens onto the cockpit, a beautiful saloon table that seats eight people with panoramic views, as well as a card table that faces the sea. The galley is comprehensively equipped and features Fountaine Pajot’s famous ‘piano refrigerator’ and ample space for cooking and preparation while overlooking the spacious saloon. Each of the four cabins aboard the Orana 44 enjoys its own private bathroom with separate shower, while sliding doors in the companionways provide exceptional privacy for every guest. The Owner’s suite in the Owner’s version is fitted with an island bed, while the two supplementary cabins have semi-island style beds.

The Orana is powerful and commanding in inclement conditions, maintaining a high degree of comfort and stability courtesy of its advanced design and good forward volume. Easily managed singlehandedly in all conditions, the catamaran is also a delight to sail in lighter breezes.
