Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 (2015-2019)

Specs summary: compact ~38.5 ft cruising catamaran (successor to the Lipari 41) with multiple common layouts (eg Maestro 3-cabin owner's vs Quatuor 4-cabin charter). This model is a close fit on beam and draft, but it appears to miss the stated envelope on LOA (slightly under 39 ft) and on waterline-to-mast clearance (typically quoted a few inches above 63 ft).
