Fountaine Pajot Tanna 47 Buyer's Guide
The Fountaine Pajot Tanna 47 entered production in 2021 as the replacement for the Saona 47, and both owner-oriented and ex-charter examples are well represented on the brokerage market. Built by Fountaine Pajot to a Berret Racoupeau design, this 45-foot 8-inch catamaran with a 25-foot 4-inch beam has become a recognizable modern cruising platform. A buyer shopping the used fleet will encounter a boat offered in two accommodation plans with a range of factory option packages and a strong record of owner and charter upgrades.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin and charter four-cabin layouts are both well represented, and ex-charter examples are common. The Maestro layout concentrates private ownership in a large port-hull owner's suite with vanity, desk, and en suite head, plus two guest staterooms in the starboard hull. The Quintet layout instead makes room for five cabins and five heads, a configuration optimized for charter or a growing family. In either version the central saloon is unchanged, built around a commercial-grade U-shaped galley adjacent to the cockpit sliding doors, with the nav station placed near the interior entrance for quick access.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, power and energy systems are commonly fitted and worth evaluating closely. Solar arrays, air conditioning, watermakers, autopilot, inverter, chartplotter, radar, AIS, electric winches, lithium batteries, and an 11.5 kW Northern Lights generator for air conditioning appear commonly, and up to 1,700 watts of soft solar panels may have been added to the cabin top. Canvas and sail-handling gear commonly includes a bimini and swim platform, with a code zero and teak decks often seen; a furling main is a less common owner upgrade. Navigation is commonly covered by chartplotter, radar, and AIS, while comfort items such as a washing machine, cockpit shower, hot water, and Starlink are often seen, with heating a less common addition.
What to Inspect
The rudders on the Tanna 47 sit forward of the props, which changes water flow, response time, and the pivot point when maneuvering anchor. Because hydraulic steering provides less feedback and the wheel cannot be locked on centerline under engine-only control, a survey should confirm steering gear condition and helm response. Fountaine Pajot fitted the base boat with twin 50 hp Volvo Penta saildrive diesels and offered 60 hp units as an upgrade; check saildrive seals and the condition of any upgraded 75-hp diesels with folding props seen on some boats. Resin-infused balsa-core construction should be checked for any deck or hull core issues typical of the method.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These catamarans are typically found in the United States, Greece, France, Croatia, Türkiye, and Thailand. A used Tanna 47 buyer should:
- Confirm whether the Maestro or Quintet layout fits intended use
- Verify solar capacity and lithium battery banks against stated power demands
- Inspect saildrives, rudder stocks, and hydraulic steering
- Check for ex-charter wear if considering a Quintet example
- Confirm factory option package (Grande Large, Oceanic, or Comfort) and installed generator
