Fountaine PajotThe world’s leading
builder of cruising catamarans, the
Fountaine Pajot boatyard was set up in
1976 near La Rochelle, France. The
original team consisted of four people and
built the 505 under the leadership of
Jean-François FOUNTAINE,
a well known regatta competitor recently
returned from the Montreal Olympics.
Innovative and well built, these craft
immediately attracted French competitors.
The enterprise then developed further, with
other models of dinghies, the 420 and 470,
built at the new Aigrefeuille yard, opened
in 1978.
The yard’s first series
production catamaran, the Louisiane 37
launched in 1983. This 11 meter
craft was designed with the collaboration of
Michel Joubert et Bernard Nivelt. Built of
PVC foam-core sandwich, with all the
experience of this technology that Fountaine
Pajot had gained by now, the Louisiane met
with immediate commercial success..
