Fountaine Pajot Tanna 47

The Tanna 47 was launched at Cannes Yachting Festival in Sept. 2021.

As tradition wants it, this Fountaine Pajot catamaran is of course named after an island. Tanna is the name of a beautiful Pacific island in the Vanuatu archipelago.

How the Saona 47 became Tanna 47

First of all, let’s review what properties made the Saona 47 a big success in the Fountaine Pajot catamarans sailing range and remained important characteristics of the new Tanna 47:

• Saona 47 emblematic reversed bows for better performance, a dynamic look with a pyramid-shape hull.
• Relaxation areas all over the boat.
• Integrated platform.
• Fully integrated plancha which soon became a standard on board catamarans this size.
• One of the largest Master cabins for catamarans this size, with 3 main areas: sleeping area with Queen size bed, laundry area with a lot of storage, and spacious bathroom with separate head.
• Quintet version very popular by charter companies, as catamarans this size hardly ever offered this possibility.

The R&D team at Fountaine Pajot took into consideration the feedback from owners, and worked hard in order to improve the boat.

So what are the innovations on the Tanna 47?

Larger & even more convivial flybridge

The flybridge seating area is 40% larger than the Saona’s, with a total seating area of 7m², and welcomes at least 10 people.

More renewable energy available

You now have the option of fully integrated solar panels, with either 1.700 Watts or 800 Watts.

Improved helm station & fittings

Like on all Fountaine Pajor sailing catamarans, the helm station is located between the flybridge and the cockpit, and allows easy circulation and communication, as well as great visibility and easy manoeuvring. The autopilot is now located on the right-hand side of the helm for easier access.

The fittings have been carefully reviewed and now include Lewmar ball bearing blocks as standard and also Lewmar mainsail travellers.

Genoa tracks are much longer, nearly twice as long.

A bigger, brighter and more ergonomic saloon

• The seating area is even more user-friendly, with usb port for your electronic device, and more storage under the sofa.
• The sliding door between the outside cockpit and the saloon got even larger with 2-meter opening. That is 20% larger than the Saona, consequently adding more brightness and visibility inside the saloon.
• You will find even more space and storage in the open galley, with the large fridge drawers now located next to the sofa. The oven now has a more practical opening, with lots of space before. The new configuration makes it easier to circulate throughout the saloon.
• The chart table is now transferred to the entrance, right after the sliding doors. This allows very fast and easy access, and all necessary instruments are conveniently mounted at eye-level.
