MAKING CONNECTIONS

Making Connetions is a brand new 2019 Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 offering 4 cabins and 4 electric heads, air conditioning and generator.

The Lucia 40 sews up the amenities found on her bigger sister Helia 44 into a neat and tidy package and she is a sleek cruiser that has plenty of beam and deck space without looking boxy or awkwardly tall. Making Connections features 4 staterooms, each having its own ensuite bathroom.

Replacing the enormously successful Lipari 41 and Mahe 36, the design of the Lucia 40 has drawn inspiration from the shipyard’s famous Helia 44 and Saba 50, offering superb luminosity and a spacious cockpit that comfortably accommodates eight people at its dining table. The cockpit is quite spacious and is almost the size of the cockpit of the Helia 44. The entire cockpit is protected by a composite bimini.

The salon is surprisingly spacious for a boat of only 40ft. Glass doors open to reveal a cooking and socializing area on the same level as the cockpit. Six can sit at the L-shaped settee, which shares a seat with the dedicated nav station. Double fridge drawers are located to starboard as is an L-shaped galley to port. The sink is by the window, which slides open for easy communication with the cockpit and helm. There are also a separate counter-height oven, a freezer and a three-burner Eno stove.

Making Connections is a great boat for couples traveling together, two families, or guests needing the extra space for a hired Captain.
