Tout sur : Astrea 42

In 2018, Michel, 70, was a happy family man, about to settle into a peaceful retirement, even if it was not exactly the ideal plan for him. That’s when an idea began to take shape in his head: to make his childhood dream come true and set off on a round-the-world sailing trip, in which loved ones could join him in experiencing nature first-hand. The adventure began with a training course and much thought being given to the project.

While new brands are offering new multihulls designed from the outset to incorporate an electric drivetrain, others are offering electric versions from units previously equipped with an internal combustion engine... Another scenario: electrifying a multihull in custom mode. Here we take a look at two models of electric catamarans... that previously weren’t!

This catamaran is the second in size in the sailing range from Fountaine Pajot after the Isla 40 and is a model now well-established in the cruising catamaran landscape: it has convinced charter companies and owners alike.
