Used Sail Catamaran for sale Fountaine Pajot FP 43 Belize Vessel Summary

Boat Description

Destiny II is an excellent, well-maintained example of the fine Belize line of Fountaine-Pajot sailing catamarans. They are noted for their quality construction and lack of historical structural issues.

The helm is in a logical location, protected from the elements, with great all-round visibility, access to sail controls, and still connected to your crew either inside the cabin or the aft entertainment area. It is a great place for sundowners or events.

The interior is notably soft with comfortable seating, no sharp corners, and a separated galley that makes meal prep easy.

Sailing performance is surprising for a non-daggerboard boat because of the large sacrificial keels, which provide great upwind performance and added safety.

Reliable diesel engines mated to sail drives located ahead of the rudders give far more maneuverability than forward-mounted rudders.

Great bridge deck clearance minimizes slamming.

The Fountaine-Pajot Belize is a perfect blend of performance and family comfort, and at the same time easy to single-hand, as many experienced sailors have done.

As a broker, I have sailed many times on and alongside this model of catamaran, and I am constantly impressed with these boats.

Sailing and living on Destiny II brings a new appreciation for life. Many ports, many crossings, and many sails in many seas teach a new rhythm to life.

The Fountaine-Pajot Belize 43 brings a blend of a strong, fit sailing vessel with an interior designed with an artist’s eye and a sailor’s experience. The cockpit offers an accessible helm station, with jib sheets and traveler handled in the cockpit. Designed with curving seats and protected from wind and ocean, Destiny II gives experienced sailors an appreciation of how the Belize was designed to be handled. It was recently outfitted with a new rig and sails.

The main salon is warm and bright with a 180-degree view through curved windows set at eye level when sitting and standing. Comfortable seating surrounds a beautiful and versatile drop-leaf table on a curved settee upholstered in turquoise Sunbrella fabric. Many delicious meals have been served from the adjacent galley, an efficient space that allows easy access to galley appliances and counter space.

Sailing on Destiny II is like living in a jewel box and watching land, ocean, and changing skies. Waking up to star-filled skies and balmy breezes, we have sailed this boat for several years to the Bahamas. This Belize is made to sail, and everything that has to do with sailing on this boat has had the utmost attention.

There are four double cabins with almost queen-size bunks. The aft cabins have walk-in access by the bed and a generous-sized closet at the foot. Full standing headroom throughout the boat accommodates heights of over six feet. Each hull has one head with a sink, toilet, and shower. Under the port aft bunk there is storage and space for systems and spare parts. The aft starboard area is entirely open for storage. Forward bunks have closet space and under-bunk storage, and there are doors opening to the crew quarters that can be used for sleeping or storage.

This boat is well outfitted for long-distance cruising with systems and features that support extended passages.
