The Fountaine Pajot 41 is a 41-foot cruising catamaran featuring an optional Odyssey plus smart electric hybrid propulsion system.4:18 Developed with Alternative Energies, the system utilizes two 25-kilowatt pod drive motors that provide hydrogeneration while under sail.4:37 At 8 knots of boat speed, the system generates approximately 1.5 kilowatts per motor, totaling 250 amps at 12 volts.5:58 The setup includes a 2-kilowatt solar array and a 24-kilowatt soundproofed diesel generator for supplemental charging.5:03

The vessel features a mid-level helm station with all lines led aft, though the raised position creates a blind spot beneath the jib.1:57 The hull design incorporates a hard chine for improved upwind performance and stability.0:58 Interior configurations include an owner’s version with a private hull or a four-cabin layout.3:22 While the boat offers high-end living spaces and efficient sailing characteristics, the hydraulic steering lacks tactile feedback and field-repairability.2:53 Pricing ranges from $500,000 to $800,000 depending on equipment and electrical upgrades.7:33
