FP Saona 47 – Walk Through 

When Olivier Racoupeau designed The Saona 47, he ushered in a new generation of luxury sailing catamarans. The first thing you’ll notice is the modern profile enhanced by her “Reverse-Plumb” bow along with the “Reverse-Sheer” lines of her decks.

This unique combination gives the Saona 47 a more aggressive yet elegant aesthetic that continues throughout the boat. This profile also contributes to her better sailing performance by increasing her waterline and reducing the aerodynamic drag.

This reverse-sheer also helps increase the interior volume of the hulls by slowly increasing the freeboard until the middle of the hulls. This allows the builder to raise the larger parts of the cabinetry above the waterline without decreasing headroom.

By adopting this more modern design approach, they were able to lower the Waterline Length to beam ratio while increasing the interior volume in the process. This is one of the primary definers of a sailing catamaran’s performance.

Another feature the Saona improved upon is the Roof-Top Lounge area. This generation of designs is maximizing the use of the space. You’ll find this to be one of the best features on board.

Gori folding props 20x13x3 propeller – x 2 Custom built for sailboat racing! 

Custom made for racing this Catamaran FP Saona 47with Volvo D2-60 engines and S150 saildrives.

Gori props allow this yacht to Gain the folding propeller’s speed advantages under sail, and the fixed propeller’s thrust capability when motoring.

GORI Folding Propeller is the only folding propeller operating the same pitch in forward and in reverse. This is a techno­logical and functional leap forward in the development of sailboat propellers.

GORI Folding Props provide less engine noise, less vibration, and better fuel economy.
