2009 Fountaine Pajot Orana 44 Maestro
Canadian Tax Paid | Canadian Flagged
The earlier generation of Fountaine Pajot catamarans were designed with sailing performance firmly in mind, and the Orana 44 is no exception. With her generous sail plan, efficient hull design, and robust rig, she remains one of the better-sailing production catamarans in her class. Equally impressive is her Maestro owner's layout, which dedicates the entire starboard hull to a spacious owner's suite featuring a true island queen berth, abundant storage, and a level of comfort rarely found on a 44-foot catamaran.
Littlest Hobo has been priced realistically for today's market and represents an excellent opportunity for a buyer who understands value. She is not a freshly refit yacht, and there are areas where a new owner may choose to invest time and money to bring her cosmetics to the next level. However, beneath the surface you'll find a boat that has benefited from years of thoughtful ownership, regular maintenance, and continual improvements.
One detail that speaks volumes about the level of care she has received is that the mast has been removed, stored indoors, and inspected annually since 2016.
For the handy buyer looking for value and a capable cruising catamaran to set sail to distant horizons this boat could be for you.
