Check out our recent video featuring Sailing Yacht Eight as they give tips and observations when outfitting and cruising the Fountaine Pajot Saona 47. They have now been on their catamaran for two seasons so they have some great thoughts on stability, rigging, speed, sail choices, storage and livability. We were invited on their boat when we recently went to a FP Saona 47 Owners Meetup in Licata, Italy this past summer. Enjoy!
