What the fleet has seen

The Lipari 41, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Lipari 41 is a 2010-present catamaran designed by Joubert-Nivelt and built by Fountaine-Pajot, featuring a twin keel hull and a fractional sloop rig with a rotating spar. It measures 11.9 meters LOA, with a 6.8-meter beam, 1.1-meter draft, and displaces 9799 kg. Aboard WEsail, the crew noted that the larger Helia 44 offers increased storage and living space compared to the 41-foot Lipari model, including reinforced davits for larger dinghies and more powerful 55-horsepower engines, an upgrade from the 30-horsepower motors found on the Lipari.9:45
