This is a great opportunity to purchase a lightly used, updated and maintained Fountaine-Pajot Mahe 36. She is a 3-cabin 1 head version: The Starboard hull is reserved for the master stateroom with spacious and stylish head forward. The port hull accommodates two double cabins. The Fountaine Pajot Mahe 36 is an easy and exciting cat to sail. As with all the FP cats she is quicker than her competitors and is known for her superior styling.
“Sail La Vie” has just enjoyed a recent refit including new mainsail and genoa, upgraded canvas and interior upholstery, custom closet doors, new anchor, bottom paint, buff & wax, new props and saildrive seals, mechanical revision and has updated Garmin electronics, making her a turn-key vessel anyone can enjoy. She also has the necessary comforts for southern latitudes including A/C and new Yanmar generator 2024, all with very low hours. While the Mahe 36 has a smaller footprint, she inherits a big cat feel unique in this category with a modern, bright and airy feel, ample headroom and storage.
With a sheltered open-plan cockpit, a clean and uncluttered deck layout, new canvas cockpit bimini plus a raised helm station boasting 360- degree vision with centralized commands, the Mahe´ 36 innovative exterior design complements its outstanding performance. The Mahe 36 performance characteristics come from a strong but much lighter weight hull utilizing infusion technology and composite bulkheads. There's much less water slapping as she has a significantly higher bridge deck clearance, as much as 30% higher than her competitors. Lower helm stations enabling lower booms yield a lower center of gravity improving both speed and stability. As to style her superior design is evident to the beholder. Her lines are graceful and sweeping, not abrupt and vertical. Enjoy one level living with the salon on the same level as the cockpit-no climbing down into the "dungeon" as in monohulls. Guests will be together with the helmspeople (2 person helmseat) whether inside or out.
Layout & Accommodations
The hulls have narrow footprints in the water and flare out above the waterline, with additional buoyancy on the inside hull creating greater secondary stability when loaded heavily or sailing through rough seas. This also provides roomy cabins over five feet wide.
The main salon is a bright, airy and modern design with a beautiful maple wood interior. Large double-opening doors connect the salon with the cockpit creating one large common area. The decks are uncluttered and easily accessible with an integral handrail/sun visor protecting the salon windows from direct sunlight keeping the interior cooler.
This catamaran for sale offers centralized operating ability. All halyards sheets and controls are accessible from the double helm seat. The boat can easily be sailed without leaving the safety and comfort of the helm station. Unobstructed visibility of all four corners of the boat aids in maneuvering and docking in difficult situations or in confined marinas and channels. The boat can be easily sailed single-handed or with a limited crew making it ideal for couples, families or for ease of operation on extended cruises.
The Mahe has watertight bulkheads for each engine compartment and watertight bulkheads in each bow. Construction process is resin infusion with foam core. She is lightweight and strong.
