The Mahe 36 is a fractional sloop catamaran designed by O. Flahault Design and M. Joubert - B. Nivelt, Associates, and built by Fountaine Pajot from 2004 to the present. It measures 11.03 m LOA, with a 5.92 m beam, 1.10 m draft, and 5000 kg displacement. A 2010 Mahe 36 Evolution reviewed by Lady K Sailing had a documented history of cruising to the Bahamas and Virgin Islands.0:41 This model's 36-foot length is below the 40-foot preference in the cruising catamaran market, and its common use in bareboat charter fleets can depress its market value.3:51 The three-cabin, one-head layout of some models is less popular than configurations with more private heads.4:39 System costs are a consideration for older models; a 2010 example had twin Volvo D130 engines replaced in 2019 with 2,500 hours, and saildrive seals and standing rigging require attention.8:24 Tankage is limited to 70 gallons of water and 53 gallons of fuel, and a lack of a generator necessitates solar and battery upgrades for cruising.6:38 The Evolution model features a hardtop and a redesigned helm station.2:19
