The Fountaine Pajot Maldives 32 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of cruising catamarans, bridging the gap between high-performance coastal racers and modern comfort-centric cruisers. Launched in 1988 and designed by the prolific duo of Michel Joubert and Bernard Nivelt, this 32-foot multihull was a radical departure from the heavy, sluggish cruisers of its era. It utilized the shipyard’s burgeoning expertise in vacuum-bagged foam sandwich construction to create a platform that was both exceptionally light and remarkably rigid. With its distinctive "teardrop" coachroof and wrap-around plexiglass windows—a signature of designer Olivier Flahault—the Maldives 32 offered a futuristic aesthetic that still holds a cult following today. Unlike its larger contemporary, the Fidji 39, the Maldives 32 was aimed at families and sailors who prioritized agility and the ability to beach the vessel in shallow waters, thanks to its modest 2.7-foot draft.
