The Eleuthera 60 is the
flagship of Fountaine Pajot’s sailing
catamaran range and has been designed for
the most discerning cruising sailor. With
a timeless contemporary design featuring sleek
hulls and roof, the catamaran offers a level
of comfort, spacious accommodation and quality
of finish more commonly found in custom designed
yachts.

Designed by European architectural firm Berret-Racoupeau,
the Eleuthera 60 has been designed with long-term
comfort in mind to cater for private owners’
use, large families or crew, and private charters
for up to twelve people.

Some of the Eleuthera 60’s most distinctive
design advantages include improved facility
of movement aboard, as well as excellent luminosity
with large picture windows affording unmatched
visibility and light. Wider hulls have resulted
in the addition of larger cabins and island
beds.

There are two distinctly separate living spaces
in the dining room and raised saloon with
stylish furnishings and design. A convivial
galley is located between the dining area
and the cockpit and is able to be hidden if
needed.

The catamaran’s performance is second
to none with ease of manoeuvring for short-handed
crew with an electric mainsail winch fitted
as standard, plus a generous sail area with
fully battened mainsail and roller-furling
genoa. The foredeck walkway also serves as
an unstayed spar for the furling gennaker
and several power systems are also available
depending on the sailing programme.

The Eleuthera 60 features original technical
solutions patented by Fountaine Pajot, which
have now become references throughout the
marine industry. These innovative solutions
include unidirectional and bi-directional
fibre vacuum infusion construction, reinforced
skegs to protect propellers and rudders and
allow beaching up in calm water, plus triangulated
rigging which facilitates mast trim and clearing
the deck layout.

The catamaran also features a unique helming
station with a 360° view and electronic
repeater outside. The large transoms located
close to the water allow easy movement around
the cockpit terrace without any need to go
through the seating area or helming station.
This ergonomic deck layout also allows sailing
manoeuvres to be carried out without disturbing
people in the cockpit.

Forward visibility from the helm is excellent
due to a totally transparent roof (windshield
and aft facing) giving the impression of a
single living area from the exterior cockpit
and the interior saloon. Fountaine Pajot has
designed five versions of the ELEUTHERA 60
including:
