38' Fountaine Pajot Athena 38 Catamaran

Privacy

The high level of Fountaine Pajot standards can be seen below decks on the Athena 38.

Life on board is spent differently depending on the time of the day : the large friendly saloon with its well equipped chart table and the galley, provided very large storage and refrigerated spaces.

– the private areas in the well insulated hulls feature 4 light and airy cabins, optimum use of space for king size beds and independent toilets in the corridors with built-in showers.

Moving under sail, power
With twin 18-horsepower Yanmar saildrive diesels putting the starboard engine in reverse and port engine in forward, you spin hard to the right, actually turning within the Athena's length. With the screws spinning far from the cockpit, the Athena powered quietly with little vibration at most rpms. The engines are on beefy mounts in well-insulated wells. The engines are accessible to all sides by removal of the aft cabin berth cushion and underlying panel. The Athena pushes along at 71/2 knots on flat water at 2,600 rpms. At this rpm, turning fixed, two-blade props, the auxiliaries use about 4/10 of a gallon per hour. Fuel tankage is 40 gallons
