The FPMY Brand enters a new dimension…. highlighted in their January 20th press conference. It was more than 20 years ago that Fountaine Pajot launched the first trawler catamaran. Enter the new Fountaine Pajot MY Brand featuring the MY 4.S (37), MY 5 (40) and the MY 6 (44).

the MY6

The Fountaine Pajot brand has approached 2021 with the new naming of each model of the range, to offer easier benchmarks of comparison. The MY 37 becomes the brand new MY4.S, MY 40 becomes the MY5 and the MY 44 becomes the MY6. World-wide dealers are very happy with the new branding as it is much clearer. The FPMY offers much more space than all the other boats to which they are compared:

The MY 37 offers the volume of a monohull motor yacht of 40-45 feet, the MY 40, makes you feel like you are on a monohull motor yacht of 50-55 feet, and on a MY
44 gets closer to a 60-foot monohull.

MY4S Cockpitthe interior concept of the new MY4.S

The new MY4.S is the first model in the range to have integrated this evolution. It’s been a joint effort with their designer Pierangelo Andreani who has helped to maintain the Fountaine Pajot trade marks of contemporary design, coupled with comfort, speed, light space and exclusivity.

With input from dealers and owners, the new MY4.S does not have a fly bridge, rather a new sport top roof to let in more light. New colours, Corian counters in the galley and heads and round edges throughout for safety have been incorporated. Easily sleeping 6 adults, there is room for family or guests.

Debut is set for Cannes, France on May 21, 2021. You will also find the new model at the Barcelona Boat Show in July and in the USA at the Seattle Boat Show in October 2021. It is expected that the starting price will be $400,000 Euros.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
