Fountaine Pajot Casamance 44 | 1992 | A classic cruising catamaran
CLAIR LA LUNE is a classic Fountaine Pajot Casamance 44, designed by Joubert/Nivelt and built in 1992. She comes from an earlier generation of cruising catamarans: relatively slim hulls, moderate displacement, generous sail area, solid construction and straightforward systems - designed as a true blue-water sailboat, while still providing the space and comfort that make a catamaran such an attractive cruising home.
Currently cruising French Polynesia with her owners, a Swiss family, CLAIR LA LUNE has been carefully maintained and upgraded with considerable work and investment in 2026. She is being sold as her owners approach the end of their voyage - a well-equipped cruising boat, ready to continue sailing with her next owners.
Layout & Life Aboard
CLAIR LA LUNE has a warm and welcoming interior with considerably more character than many modern production catamarans. Woodwork, inlaid tables and refreshed interior areas create a comfortable living space with lots of charm.
The current layout offers:
3 double cabins
2 single cabins
2 bathrooms
Spacious saloon, galley and cockpit living areas
The fourth original double cabin serves as a dedicated workshop, technical and storage space, providing useful room for tools, spares and cruising equipment while keeping the main accommodation uncluttered.
The layout works equally well for a couple wanting generous space, for cruising with guests, or for a family living aboard for an extended voyage.
The well-equipped galley is set up for comfortable long-term living aboard, with a comprehensive range of practical appliances, including two fridges and a separate freezer.
Sailing Setup & Deck
The Casamance 44 retains the excellent sailing qualities for which this generation of catamarans is appreciated. CLAIR LA LUNE carries a 50 m² mainsail, 38 m² Hydranet furling genoa, asymmetric spinnaker with sock, and a storm jib, providing a versatile sail plan for passagemaking and trade-wind sailing. She also delivers particularly strong upwind performance for a cruising catamaran of her size.
The standing rigging was renewed progressively between 2019 and 2022. Antifouling was renewed in May 2026.
Deck equipment includes a rigid cockpit bimini, stainless-steel davits, strong ground tackle and a practical deck layout for short-handed cruising.
Energy & Autonomy
CLAIR LA LUNE is well set up for extended periods away from marinas and shore infrastructure. It comes equipped with:
1,260 W solar array (2020)
600 Ah lithium service battery bank (2026)
Victron MPPT and Orion charging controllers (2026)
40 l/h watermaker (2020)
Starlink Mini (2026)
Together, these systems provide a high degree of energy, water and communication independence for extended cruising and comfortable life aboard.
Navigation, Communications & Safety
The navigation and communication equipment has been substantially modernised and is set up for offshore cruising.
Raymarine Axiom Pro 9 chartplotter (2026)
Raymarine EV-400 autopilot (2026) plus back-up autopilot
AIS transceiver (2026)
VHF fixed and handheld (2026)
Furuno radar
Lowrance Hook 5 fishfinder
EPIRB
6 person liferaft (serviced 2026)
Comprehensive cruising safety equipment (replaced / serviced 2026)
Tender & Leisure Gear
A substantial range of equipment for enjoying life at anchor and exploring ashore is already aboard:
3.3 m semi-rigid tender
Suzuki 15 hp outboard + Yamaha 2 hp back-up
Fishing equipment
BBQ
Inflatable SUP
Dive compressor
Scuba diving and additional watersports equipment available upon request
Ready for the Next Chapter
CLAIR LA LUNE combines classic sailing character and solid blue-water capability with comfortable living space and the modern equipment needed for extended cruising.
In this price bracket, few catamarans offer such a compelling balance of sailing pedigree, charm and practical cruising readiness.
She is currently cruising French Polynesia and is being sold as her owners complete their family sabbatical - ready for her next chapter in the South Pacific or further afield.
