The Saona 47 is a 14.0-meter fractional sloop catamaran with a twin keel hull, designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Fountaine Pajot between 2016 and 2020. It has a 7.7-meter beam, a 1.3-meter draft, and displaces 13,800 kg. The model is available in a Maestro version with one owner's suite and two double cabins, or a Quintet Version with five double cabins and five bathrooms. Aboard *Sailing Doodles*, a 2024 Fountaine Pajot 47 transited the Don't Rock Pass in the Sea of Abaco, Bahamas, in 25-to-30-knot winds, maintaining stability in five-to-seven-foot seas.3:34 The crew used a remote autopilot control to monitor the chart plotter from inside the cabin during rough conditions.2:41 Another *Sailing Doodles* crew departed Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for West End, Bahamas, on a 2024 Fountaine Pajot 47, motor-sailing close-hauled with one reef in the mainsail in 20-knot headwinds and completing the 60-mile crossing in 8.5 hours. *Erik Aanderaa* used a 47-foot Fountaine Pajot catamaran for a week-long sailing festival in the British Virgin Islands, noting its twin motors, flybridge, generator, and watermaker.8:04 During a 40-knot gale, winch tops blew off under load, requiring mid-passage reassembly.17:43 The owner, however, prefers his monohull for North Sea sailing, despite the catamaran's stability.22:17
