About the FIDJI 39
The Fidji 39 is a distinctive catamaran designed by Joubert-Nivelt/Olivier Flahault and built by Fountaine-Pajot (FRA) in 1989. With a build count of ?, this model represents a specific era of French catamaran design, featuring a 39.0 ft LOA and a fractional sloop rig.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a spacious, stable platform with a 23.33 ft beam, particularly owners who value the specific layout and performance characteristics of late-80s Fountaine-Pajot designs.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 11500.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 4.14, the Fidji 39 offers moderate offshore stability, though its single production year and specific hull form suggest it is best suited for protected coastal cruising rather than extreme bluewater expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other Fountaine-Pajot models from the late 1980s and early 1990s, such as the Acati 38 or early Lagoon models, due to shared builder heritage and similar displacement-to-length ratios.
