The Fountaine Pajot Hélia 44 (frequently designated as the FP 44) stands as a landmark vessel in the evolution of French cruising catamarans. Launched in 2012 to replace the Orana 44, this Berret-Racoupeau design marked a significant shift toward the "lounge-style" aesthetic that now dominates the multihull market. The vessel was designed to balance the high-volume requirements of the charter industry with the performance expectations of private bluewater cruisers. Built using vacuum-infusion technology to keep the weight of its 23,800-pound displacement manageable, the Hélia 44 became one of the manufacturer’s fastest-selling models before being succeeded by the Elba 45.
