About
La Mer Kat is a Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40. Due to her size she is easy to handle, even short handed, yet still feels like a larger boat when at anchor. When you are in a marina, however, you will love the manouvrability of this yacht.
She is professionally maintained by a full-time maintenance team at Conch Charters in the British Virgin Islands. You could take advantage of the existing charter booking portfolio before taking the boat out of fleet. Alternatively the bookings could be moved onto another vessel and you can sail off into the sunset.
La Mer Kat benefits from:
The Lucia 40 is built to combine comfort and sailing performance. The cockpit is spacious. In fact, it is almost the size of the cockpit of the Helia 44—the next size up in the Fountaine Pajot line. The portside L-shaped dinette can accommodate up to six adults, and there is additional seating along the transom and on the starboard-side lounge. The perfect social space that also has a plumbed in propane BBQ. The entire cockpit is protected by a composite coach roof which also serves as an anchor point for the large mainsheet traveler. Behind the traveller are 3 100W rigid solar panels helping to keep the batteries topped up, perfect for longer distance cruising.
The helm pod to starboard is elevated and molded into the coach roof, with access from the deck as well as via a set of steps from the cockpit. There are a number of nice features here: the seat accommodates the captain and a companion, with ample room for two to work (one to steer and one to manage the three Lewmar winches). All the lines run back directly to the helm making single handed sailing a breeze. Yet another set of steps leads up to the coachroof where the boom is low enough that it’s easy to reach over and tuck away the mainsail at the end of the day. In addition, the Raymarine multifunction display is conveniently located, and there is a small sheet bin built in to keep the spaghetti tidy.
The saloon is on the same levels as the cockpit and is surprisingly spacious for a boat of only 40 feet. Step through the sliding glass door into a living room where six can gather around an L-shaped settee that also creates a seat for the angled nav station.
The galley spans the main deck so the cook isn’t buried in a hull. La Mer Kat includes Vitrifrigo refrigeration drawers next to the door to starboard, a Isotherm side opening freezer, a sink by the aft window that opens to the cockpit, and an Eno stovetop that actually offers three burners rather than the standard two.
La Mer Kat is the Quatuor version of the Lucia 40 offering 2 cabins and 1 shared head per hull. Each cabin is spacious with a Queen sized bed. The heads feature Jabsco electric heads and a shower stall.
La Mer Kat is a very comfortable cruising catamaran with all the important features such as, comfortable cockpit, lots of interior volume, safe helm station and good performance.
La Mer Kat was in the BVI during the storms of 2017. Since then she was repaired and has been in charter service with Conch Charters for the last 7 years.

We purchased our lagoon 410 through the multihull company, Andrew Hodgdon was the listing’s broker. From the start till the end of the process he was upfront honest and accommodating. Our situation was unique and required a bit more leg work. Andrew was always easy to get a hold of and willing to help. It was a pleasure working with a highly knowledgeable broker that values integrity. I highly recommend him.
My experience with Andrew Hodgdon was entirely positive during the selling process of our used catamaran.

I am happy to give a 10 out of 10 review.
We purchased our Balance 442 through TMC, Andrew Hodgdon in the St Augustine office, and the experience was excellent. We had a couple last minute issues like incorrect hull ID on docs, and they quickly ran point to get this all taken care of to help us close on time. It was all especially impressive given that most of this was happening during the end of year holidays. Good team, good follow up. Recommended.
