The company was founded in 1976 by Jean François Fountaine and three partners, near La Rochelle, in France, of course. After that they extended and moved to Aigrefeuille. They start building catamarans in 1981.
Fountaine Pajot, is building at the moment, a range of sailing catamarans and some motor catamarans.
The sailing catamarans are Mahe 36 Evolution, Lipari 41, Hélia 44, Salina 48 Evolution, Sanya 57, Victoria 67, Taiti 80 (Day Charter).
The motor yachts catamarans are Summerland 40, Cumberland 47 LC and Queensland 55.
11 metres long and incorporating all of the technological advances made over recent years, the Mahé 36 is a reasonably priced offshore catamaran.
There are two versions for different navigation requirements: 3-cabin: one hull is reserved for the master stateroom with attached lavatory. The other accommodates two double cabins, each with all the comforts needed for a relaxing cruise; 2-cabin: down the steps are two private cabins with doors and two toilet and shower rooms.

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any
issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself
or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it
up all over the internet without my permission.
Do you know any ways to help reduce content from being stolen?
I’d genuinely appreciate it.

First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question which
I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find
out how you center yourself and clear your head prior
to writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting
my thoughts out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems
like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to
figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?
Kudos!
interior Design magazine 2012 says
I have been browsing on-line greater than three hours lately, but I never found any
attention-grabbing article like yours. It is pretty price enough for me.
In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content material
as you did, the internet will probably be a lot more
useful than ever before.

Hey, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, terrific blog!

I don’t know about IE :).
