Overview
About this vessel
Wanderlush is a well-maintained Fountaine Pajot Lavezzi 40, thoughtfully prepared for serious bluewater cruising and comfortable liveaboard life. Purchased with the clear goal of crossing the Pacific and exploring French Polynesia, she has proven herself to be a capable, reliable and rewarding catamaran.
Having previously owned two monohulls, the current owner transitioned to a catamaran and quickly appreciated the enhanced stability, sailing efficiency and onboard comfort this design offers. Wanderlush strikes an ideal balance between performance and simplicity, making her equally suited to coastal cruising or extended offshore passages. She can be handled with ease by a couple and is manageable for short-handed or even single-handed sailing.
Throughout her current ownership, the vessel has undergone significant upgrades and consistent maintenance. The engines have been fully rebuilt, providing confidence for long-distance cruising. Additional improvements include a new windlass, new anchor chain, professional fishing equipment and a spare symmetrical spinnaker, all contributing to a well-equipped and self-sufficient cruising platform.
Designed with practicality in mind, the Lavezzi 40 offers comfortable accommodation and all the essential systems required for extended time aboard, without unnecessary complexity. This makes her an excellent option for sailors seeking a dependable and easy-to-manage catamaran for island hopping or ocean crossings.
Now based in Tahiti, Wanderlush is currently cruising French Polynesia and is scheduled to depart around 30 April, sailing onward to Fiji via the Cook Islands and Tonga. This presents a unique opportunity for a buyer to step aboard and continue an established cruising itinerary in one of the world's most sought-after sailing regions.
The decision to sell comes after the owner has nearly fulfilled a long-held personal ambition. With more than 22 years of international sailing and liveaboard experience, he describes Wanderlush as an exceptional vessel that has delivered both reliability and enjoyment throughout the journey.
