Fountaine Pajot is debuting a special ‘Asian-centric’ edition of its Aura 51 sailing catamaran at the Shenzhen Bay International Boat Show in China from October 23-26.

“This boat is special and has been commissioned especially with Asian buyers in mind, as they regularly request more shade and living space on the flybridge,” explained Kevin Corfa, Fountaine Pajot’s Asia Network Manager.

“After months of work with the French design office, the team developed this specific ‘Asian-centric’ version with a fully built-in flybridge and higher hard top and boom, while managing to reduce the main sail by only 3sqm to keep the balance and the performance.”

Corfa added that the Aura 51 has been a popular model in Asia, with multiple units already sold in the likes of Korea and Singapore.

“We are very proud of the team and the extra service we offer our in-house custom département. The catalogue of what they can offer is becoming wider and wider,” said Corfa, adding that the new version of the Aura 51 “proves that the shipyard is listening to its yacht owners”.

Penned by Berret-Racoupeau Design with a lightweight infused composite superstructure, the Aura 51 is available with up to six cabins and dedicated crew quarters depending on the chosen configuration. Equipped with 2,000 watts of solar panels, the sailing catamaran is also available in an electric propulsion version.
