SV Annie - 2010 Fountaine Pajot Orana 44 "Maestro version"
It is for us a pleasure to represent what the owner genuinely believes is "now a much better boat than when we bought her. " After three years of meticulous upgrades and two successful Pacific crossings to Fiji, Annie represents exceptional value for the discerning cruiser.
The Owner's Passion Project
Since purchasing Annie in November 2022, her current owner has systematically transformed her into a premium blue water cruiser. His philosophy has been simple: invest in quality upgrades that enhance both safety and comfort. With only 10 hours on the comprehensively reconditioned engines, he's confident they're "good for at least 3,000 hours. "
The complete engines rebuild in July 2025 tells the story perfectly - while the port engine was internally sound (requiring new cushion plates, heat exchanger, and seals), the starboard engine received the full treatment: rebore, new pistons, rings, and head plane. This attention to detail characterizes every aspect of the owner's approach.
A Complete Sail Wardrobe
The owner has equipped Annie with all new sails since 2022: mainsail (2023), genoa, spinnaker, Code Zero, and storm jib. Having sailed extensively in Pacific conditions, he understands that reliable sails are non-negotiable for serious offshore cruising.
Systems Upgraded Throughout
What impresses me most is the systematic approach to upgrades:
- New Victron AGM house batteries (880Ah, 2024) with fresh starting batteries
- Updated solar system with smart controllers and app monitoring
- Rudder bearings replaced and quadrants reconditioned (new keyways machined)
- New electric toilet (2023)
- Remote anchor control at the helm station for easy single-handed operation and reconditioned anchor windlass
- New LED lighting throughout and fresh cockpit cushion foam
- Dyneema running rigging where required - a quality choice for longevity
- New plastic fuel tanks as the old aluminium ones were corroded
Proven Pacific Performance
The owner's two successful Fiji voyages demonstrate Annie's blue water credentials. At 8 knots cruise speed on both engines or 6.5 knots on one, she's economical yet capable. The 400L fuel capacity combined with efficient Volvo D2-40s means excellent range.
The owners' version layout provides genuine comfort with three spacious double cabins and 1.85-1.95m headroom throughout - important for taller crew members (the owner himself is 1.90m and confirms there's never any feeling of being cramped).
Safety Without Compromise
The owner upgraded Annie to Cat 1 standard in May 2025 with a new 6-person liferaft and fresh safety equipment including dan buoy.
Self-Sufficient Cruising
The Aqua Base watermaker (180L/hr) and 825W solar array with 9.5KVA Onan generator mean unlimited anchoring. The owner's thoughtful additions like the espresso machine and Bosch washing machine show his understanding of long-term liveaboard comfort.
Honest Assessment
As brokers at 36 degrees brokers, we appreciate the owner's transparency about Annie's condition. There are small cosmetic blisters above the waterline that two independent boatbuilders have confirmed are purely superficial with no structural concerns. The air conditioning system needs servicing before use, and while the watermaker works perfectly, routine service is due (which will be completed before handover).
Ready for New Owners
The owner's decision to sell hasn't been easy - Annie has clearly been more than just a boat to him. His systematic approach to maintenance and upgrades means the next owners will inherit a vessel that's been thoughtfully prepared for extended cruising.
Currently on her swing mooring at Whangateau Harbour (Registration NZ2363, NZ Taxes paid), Annie represents a rare opportunity to acquire a comprehensively upgraded blue water catamaran without the years of work typically required.
