2021 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 | Chaila

Chaila is an exceptionally well-equipped 2021 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 Owner’s Version, combining elegant French design with outstanding bluewater capability. Designed by the acclaimed Berret-Racoupeau team, the Elba 45 has earned a reputation as one of the finest cruising catamarans in her class, offering the perfect balance of sailing performance, luxurious accommodation, and long-range self-sufficiency.

Powered by twin 60hp Volvo Penta diesel engines, Chaila cruises comfortably at around 7.5 knots while consuming an impressive 3.7 litres per hour, with the ability to reach speeds of up to 9 knots when required. Designed for efficient passagemaking, she delivers excellent economy without compromising performance, making her equally suited to coastal cruising or extended offshore adventures.

One of Chaila’s standout features is her advanced Integral Power Solution, providing exceptional energy independence. Equipped with large lithium battery banks, dual 18kW engine-driven generators, twin 10kW inverters and 1.2kW of solar generation, she delivers virtually silent 220V power throughout the night, comfortably supporting air conditioning and all onboard appliances without the need to run a conventional generator.

Life aboard is equally impressive. The spacious Owner’s Version layout is complemented by a beautifully appointed galley featuring multiple refrigerators, a cockpit fridge, dishwasher, induction cooktop and full-size electric oven. A premium Garmin navigation suite with radar, AIS, autopilot and twin chartplotters ensures confident navigation, while a Fusion entertainment system enhances onboard enjoyment. Sailing performance is further enhanced by a Code 0 screecher and electric halyard winch, making sail handling simple and efficient.

Completing this outstanding package is a Highfield tender launched effortlessly from the hydraulic swim platform, providing convenient access ashore and enhancing everyday life at anchor. Beautifully maintained and comprehensively specified, Chaila is a genuine turnkey bluewater cruising catamaran, ready for her next owners to step aboard and begin their next adventure immediately.
