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:
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:
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.
Tender & Leisure Gear
A substantial range of equipment for enjoying life at anchor and exploring ashore is already aboard:
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.

We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.
We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.
We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.
Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.
The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.
What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.
Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.
We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.
I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.

More About MultihullAnswer a few quick questions for your number. Every answer is saved to your Buyer Profile, so every boat on the site is priced for you.
A TMC buyer's broker will send line-by-line costs, what to check at survey, and how this boat compares with others that fit your plan.
Broad estimate by TMC based on the listing's published equipment, typical installed costs for this size of boat, and yard rates in the selected region. Not a survey, a quote or the listing broker's representation, and not a substitute for a professional marine survey. Verify all equipment and condition through a survey before you buy. Delivery, freight and financing figures are estimates; your broker confirms them.
