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.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
