Designed by O. Flahault Design /Joubert - Nivelt and built by Fountaine Pajot Catamarans (FRA), the Lavezz 40 was produced from 2002–2009 with a total of 227 hulls built. This French catamaran offers a balance of performance and comfort, characterized by its fractional sloop rig with rotating spar and twin hulls.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform for extended voyages, given its high comfort ratio and widespread adoption of amenities like watermakers and solar panels. It is well-suited for owners who prioritize ease of handling and modern electronics integration, as evidenced by the high prevalence of Nexus and B&G upgrades.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 13228.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.62, the Lavezz 40 demonstrates solid offshore stability and seaworthiness. Its history of owner-reported installations of watermakers, solar panels, and robust anchoring systems (Quick, Delta) further supports its capability for extended bluewater cruising.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 and the Lagoon 400, which share similar production eras and French catamaran design philosophies. These models are comparable due to their similar beam widths, displacement ranges, and focus on interior volume and ease of single-handed sailing.
