Sailing Ratios

Classic yacht-design ratios worked out from the builder's published figures, each shown against the bands designers read it by.

Most builders publish a light displacement. The ratios were defined on a loaded boat, so every boat here reads a little lighter than a surveyor's figure would — all alike, which keeps them comparable.

Tanks

What the builder publishes about how fast, how strong and how much the boat carries.

Brochure

About Fountaine Pajot

Volume production

French builder of luxury sailing and power catamarans, founded in 1976 near La Rochelle and now part of a group that also owns Dufour Yachts.

Fountaine Pajot marks fifty years in 2026, and the way it has chosen to mark them says something about the yard: rather than write the anniversary itself, it asked owners for their photographs, their videos and their memories aboard, to be gathered into a book on the brand's fifty-year history and sent to all of them. The year is given over to open days at La Rochelle, where the yard is, and to owners' evenings at the boat shows.
