by BWS Staff The Lavezzi 40, designed by noted French designers Joubert/Nivelt, is one of the smaller offshore cruising cats in the Fountaine Pajot line (from 36 to 60 feet), yet contains all of the elements you will need for extended living aboard, family cruising and passagemaking. The hull forms are lean and Lavezzi 40 slippery shapes with fairly full sections fore and aft to prevent pitching and to improve water flow. The fixed keel draws three feet, six inches and acts both to enhance windward sailing and as hull protection should you run aground.
