The Lucia 40 is a performance-oriented catamaran designed by Berret-Raccoupeau Yacht Design and built by Fountaine Pajot in France between 2015 and 2019. With a displacement of 19621.0 lb and a beam of 21.69 ft, it offers a balance of speed and comfort, though the exact number of hulls built is not specified in the available data.

Best for:

This boat suits active coastal cruisers and short-to-medium range bluewater travelers who prioritize sailing performance and modern amenities, as evidenced by the high prevalence of solar panel, watermaker, and electronics upgrades in the owner community.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 3.22 and a displacement of 19621.0 lb, the Lucia 40 demonstrates solid offshore stability, though owners frequently upgrade to robust anchoring systems like Spade and Mantus anchors, suggesting a strong intent for serious cruising.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 and the Lagoon 42, which share similar production eras and dual-hull configurations, but the Lucia 40 distinguishes itself with a fractional sloop rig and a more performance-focused hull form designed by Berret-Raccoupeau.
