The FP41 marks the first of the launch of this new generation of models, setting a new standard in the 40-foot segment, offering luminous interiors, a raised helm and versatile cockpit. This sporty entry-level model will be arriving in Australia in October 2025 and on display with The Yacht Sales Co. at the Sydney International Boat Show from 13 – 16 November.

The new FP44 strikes a balance of comfort, performance and elegance with modular living spaces tailored to every sailing project. Crafted for carefree cruising, combining safety, performance and comfort, the model boasts an elegant design and spacious living areas that flow seamlessly between cockpit, flybridge and saloon. Her refined hull lines, discreet coachroof, and balanced rig deliver both striking looks and strong sailing performance, while features such as the double helm station, mid-height helm and fully opening saloon window enhance ease of handling and connection with the sea. Available with ODSea+ electric propulsion and up to 2,000W of solar panels, she offers sustainable long-range cruising, with flexible 3- or 4-cabin layouts including a Maestro version for customisable liveability.

They are joined by the FP48, successor to the acclaimed Tanna 47, which features a sleek profile, refined hulls and panoramic portholes delivering light-filled interiors and a superb connection to the sea, while the reimagined helm ensures safety and effortless manoeuvring. Inside, expansive living spaces flow seamlessly outdoors, with a saloon designed for entertaining, a fully equipped galley and flexible layouts including a luxurious owner’s suite and beautifully appointed guest cabins. On deck, the spacious cockpit, foredeck and flybridge provide multiple zones for relaxation, all designed with safety and comfort in mind.
