The Fountain Pajot Orana 44:
RED is a 44’ catamaran with 4 spacious staterooms, each with ensuite lavatories housing dedicated showers. She is a wonderful sailing vessel drawing only 3’ 7” of water, making her both a fast and stable catamaran. Her polar diagram displays her heritage from Fountaine-Pajot with really impressive numbers. She acquires more than satisfactory speed while running at 10 knots, beam-reaching to broad-reaching at 10-12 knots and finally close-hauled to close-reach is an impressive at 6-8-9 knots (40-50-60 deg respectively). These speeds are in 20 knots of wind. On the water her performance reveals these speeds with winds down to 15-18 knots as well depending upon sea states and loading. She is light, fast and very manageable with her helm position giving great visibility and access to all lines. All four corners of the boat can be seen from the helm position, allowing for easy maneuvering and docking. Under Power she achieves close to hull speed of 8.8 Knots at 3000 rpm and at 2800 rpm achieves 8 knots.

After acquiring RED in 2021, the new owners continued to build upon the previous upgrades by adding numerous additions and continued to maintain her in top notch condition. Today the hulls, inside and out, are in excellent condition, the engine bays and bilges are completely dry and super clean. The most recent haul-out was finished in June 2023 and included new shafts seals, new bellows, a new bottom-paint, and engine servicing.

Other Upgrades/Spares
June 2023 completed recent Haul-Out
The immaculate care and constant upgrades have upkeep this yacht in excellent condition. RED is ready for a couple or family to jump in, get on and get going.
Starboard Forward Cabin:
The current owners maintained the starboard hull as an owners hull with workshop in the forward cabin and each taking their own head and shower. All bed frames and mattresses are stored onboard to convert the starboard forward shop back into a 4th cabin if desired. In less than 1 hour you can convert her back to the original cabin from the now dedicated shop.
The current owners have recorded in detail all upgrades, location of all wires and plumbing, location of valves and through-hulls and miscellaneous instructions for optimum performance.
2020 Improvements
2020 Improvements
This yacht’s 2020 improvements by the shipyard’s chief mechanic/builder made several major upgrades which separated this catamaran from the average yacht in its class. The original owner (2 back) was a Frenchman who sailed her annually for 6 weeks while visiting the Caribbean waters, as he lived in Europe. She was never placed in charter. When not in the water for the owners annual pilgrimage, she was otherwise dry-docked. The shipyard owner from 2019-2020 upgraded the yacht to a higher standard than the production catamaran level. All new Raymarine® electronics package, new VHF radio, new JVC® Bluetooth® stereo, wiring and speakers, new L.E.D. lighting in cabins, all new exterior closed-cell foam and Sunbrella® fabric, all new cushions and synthetic leather in the Salon furniture, all new toilets, hoses, clamps, valves and through-hulls, new Corian® countertops, new Mastervolt® batteries, new Victron Energy® charger, new anchor and galvanized chain, new bilge pumps, and new lazy jack.
The inside of the bilges in both hulls have been thoroughly cleaned, waxed, sealed and polished. All bilge pumps have been replaced and upgraded from 500gph to 900gph. The engine bays have been thoroughly cleaned, waxed, sealed and polished with bilge pumps replaced and upgraded from 500gph to 1100gph.
Manufacturer Provided Description
ORANA 44 is intended to be a comfortable ocean-going vessel.
Designed by the famous Joubert-Nivelt firm of architects, the ORANA 44 offers:
Free on-deck movement, like her sisters.
A very low center of gravity for maximum security, with opened access between the cockpit and saloon.
A large sliding window for direct communication between the saloon and cockpit.
A three-seat steering station combining all navigation controls, with excellent visibility over the roof.
A sheltered sundeck behind the steering station, which includes two portable sunloungers with adjustable backs. Most importantly, great performances with 1200 ft² of sail, which in normal weather would allow extensive sailing under the wind, limiting use of motors.
This version of the ORANA 44 is a 4-cabin: in the passageways are four bright, attractive cabins, each with attached lavatory and separate shower room.

My wife and I worked with Andrew Hodgdon to sell our 2021 FP Elba 45. In addition to skillfully carrying out the traditional yacht broker responsibilities, Andrew went above-and-beyond to ensure that we were well-positioned to sell in a competitive market. For example, Andrew helped out with much-appreciated repairs and hurricane prep, among other things. Trustworthy, intelligent, and conscientious, Andrew’s communications with us and the buyer were always thoughtful and forward-thinking, and fairly represented our interests.
We really lucked out in connecting with The Multihull Company. We made a cold call to Cynthia Wummer, a Multihull Company broker and told her we wanted to buy a catamaran to cruise The Great Loop and experience the Bahamas. We particularly wanted a PDQ power catamaran. From our first contact she was so helpful and responsive. She immediately contacted a selling broker who represented a prospective seller. Because we are new to a bigger boat and boating on the ICW, Cynthia assisted us through the entire process. She is a captain which was an added bonus to the process; she knew all the right questions to ask the selling broker as well as the surveyor. She drove 3 hours to be present during the survey, she developed a good relationship with the selling broker, she called and checked in with us regularly, was very enthusiastic about our purchase, and answered all our questions. We could not have done it without her. The Multlihull Company support team, Andrew Holland and Courtney Greider, were so helpful in the closing process: the paperwork was easy to complete and communication was smooth and timely. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Multihull Company and Cynthia to anyone who is the market for a boat large or small. Thank you!!!!
Multihull Company has succeeded again. This is my second time using their services and they are extremely professional and honest. Working with their brokers and their administrative team was easy. Communication occurred at every level and constructive advise was always given. They know this business inside and out and acted as my fiduciary in every way. I will use them again for their service and knowledge.
Great to deal with and very patient in our questions. They were able to find us the perfect vessel for our needs.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company.
