The French catamaran builder has sold two hybrid electric versions of the new FP44, which had its world premiere at Cannes in September.
Fountaine Pajot has announced the sales of two ODSea+ hybrid electric versions of its new FP44 through Korean dealer HBS Marine. The FP44 sailing cat was among the French brand’s world premieres at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival, along with the entry-level FP41 and the Power 80 flagship powercat.
Kevin Corfa, Fountaine Pajot’s Head of Asia, stated that the two FP44 sailing cats ordered for Korea would arrive in mid-2026 and would be the brand’s first electric models in Asia. “There’s strong interest in Korea, where our dealer HBS Marine has been working closely with the Marine Department over the last year,” Corfa said.
One of the buyers attended this year’s Fountaine Pajot Open Days in July, a three-day event held in La Rochelle’s Vieux Port (Old Port) that attracted 400 visitors including 55 dealers, with highlights including over 40 sea trials.
“It was while sailing with us that he really made his decision to buy,” Corfa said. “It’s a statement that the Open Days event works, even for Asian clients who traditionally only go to bigger boat shows like the Cannes Yachting Festival.
“This year’s Open Days was a really great edition and in 2026, we will have an even greater number of Asia-based clients and prospects flying to France for this.”
