New model, revised line for Fountaine Pajot

The swim platform of the MY5

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.

the 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.

Bennington 22 MSB

By Andy Adams

If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boating destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
