If you are looking for it all in a mid-forty foot catamaran and dont want to compromise - Search no further! You have found it all in Carpe Aura. Carpe Aura is a 2018 Fountaine Pajot Helia 44, designed by Berret Racoupeau, and as such is amongst the last of this model to be built, making her one of the newer and more desirable Helia 44s available. The hulls are constructed of vacuum-bagged solid fiberglass and resin below the waterline and balsa-cored sandwich above the waterline. The hulls flare out above the water line to maximize sailing performance in the water and provide comfortable living space above the waterline. Carpe Aura is a 4-cabin with 4 ensuite head model with bonus bunks and/or storage in the forepeaks and is a comfortable sailing machine as well as a comfortable living platform. The cockpit sports a dining area to port that can easily seat eight. To starboard there is a cushioned daybed that is protected under the shade of the hard top coach roof and helm bimini. The helm station is raised providing great visibility and can be accessed from the cockpit and the side deck. At the helm you will find the instruments to be Raymarine and consist of an Axiom 12 multifunction display/chart plotter, depth sounder, anemometer, radar and a VHF. For comfort in all conditions, Carpe Aura has an Isinglass enclosure. She is outfitted with two, low hour, Volvo Penta D2 50F engines (50 hp) paired with a Volvo Penta 1305 C sail drives and 3-blade fixed propellers. Carpe Aura comes with a main, genoa and code zero. The main sail is original and in good condition. The furling genoa is newly refurbished and equipped with a new UV shade. The Code Zero is barely used. From the sails, the running rigging leads to four winches, one of which is electric, making raising the main sail easy. Anchoring is a breeze with the Quick brand electric windlass that pairs with 200 feet of half inch G4 Steel Chain and a primary 85 lb. Mantus anchor. The secondary anchor is a Fortress FX37 with 40 feet of chain and 150 feet of 5/8 inch nylon rode. Dockside, Carpe Aura is wired for 110V electricity with 50 amp service. When not using shore power, she is outfitted with an Onan 11.5 KW generator. This vessel also has 450 watts of solar panels in three panels. The 12V system has five 95-amp hour AGM batteries for a total of 475 amp hours (23), paired with a 3000W Victron Inverter/Charger. The present owner has found that while cruising, the solar panels and the batteries power all systems except for the air conditioning. If it is found that air conditioning is desired, simply start the very capable generator. The creature comforts of Carpe Aura are as you would find on land, as she is equipped with: 6 Dometic air conditioning units; 4 electric flush heads that can be electronically switched between freshwater flush and saltwater flush; hot water provided by a 12-gallon Isotemp hot water heater (rebuilt in November 23); Black and Decker washing machine ('24) and a 12 gallon per hour Sea Water Pro water maker. In the galley you will be treated to Corian counters, an Eno 3 burner cook top, an Eno oven, 2 Isotherm refrigerators,1 Isotherm freezer, a built-in icemaker, a counter top icemaker, microwave oven, and a saltwater pump. If you desire to cook outside, there is a Magma BBQ Grill (21). The mood on this boat is set by the Fusion stereo, colored LED Lights throughout, and underwater lights. Carpe Aura conveys with a 2018 12 Zodiac inflatable dinghy and 25 hp Yamaha 4 stroke outboard (2021), life raft (last certified in 21), dock lines, fenders, fire extinguishers, flares, life vests, as well as some tools and spares.
