New FP44: One Catamaran to Replace Two?
Inside, the New 44 features wide forward openings, but notably sees the return of the island unit - this had deserted the nacelle of the Saona 47, which became the Tanna 47.
The FP44 was designed from the outset to be available in a hybrid-electric version. In this green spirit, this catamaran can be fitted with 2,400 Wp of solar panels.

Bali 5.2: The Replacement for the 5.4
The 15th model to bear the Bali name had been announced by the shipyard for the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival, but it’s not so far included in the show’s own list at the time of going to press. However, it does appear on the Annapolis list. The 5.2 features all the characteristics of the 5.8 - tilting aft door, forward door, rigid foredeck and huge flybridge. Available in 3, 4, 5 and 6-cabin versions and with numerous customization possibilities, this catamaran will be suitable for a variety of programs. We like the way they’ve retained a “traditional”, forward-facing chart table - except that this location is now becoming becomes a genuine 100% connected control station.
