Electric sailboat test: The Fountaine-Pajot Aura 51 Smart Electric

June 12 2024

Written by François Meyer Yachting Art English Edition

The new Fountaine-Pajot Aura 51 catamaran is undeniably a beautiful boat. Sleek, relatively low to the water, with generous windows and a high-performance rig, it's also a comfortable, easy-to-live-with boat.

The Smart Electric version that we were able to try out adds to these advantages with a hybrid electric motor that allows the boat to be sailed under engine in calm conditions, a configuration that greatly limits the boat's emissions.

The Aura 51, volume, space and comfort

At 16 metres long and over 8 metres wide, the Aura 51 is a large boat. The five-cabin version, which we tried out, has a very large aft cabin on the port side, with an armchair and a large dressing room, its own shower room with separate WC and an acceptable forward cabin with an island bed and shower room.

The starboard hull has three cabins. Two are accessible from the nacelle and each has an island bed and en-suite shower room, while the last has separate access from the aft cockpit.

The nacelle has a vast galley with a central island to port and a saloon with a coffee table to starboard. There is no chart table, but two navigation screens, one in the nacelle and one on the flying bridge.

The aft cockpit has a large table, which can be folded out to seat two additional guests on the aft cockpit bench. On either side of the table are two loungers, ideal for siestas.

At the stern, a practical Tenderlift makes launching the serious tender supplied with the boat ultra-easy. Raising the tender is a breeze.

A truly powerful sailboat

Once you're at the helm, you'll be delighted to see that the boom is always at an accessible height from the flying bridge. With a 95m2 mainsail, it's great to be able to act directly on it when reefing or lowering the sail, all from the flyingbridge.

The gaff mainsail and the beautiful matching genoa (59m2) give this boat plenty of power under sail, enabling it to reach speeds of 10 knots effortlessly in 20 knots of wind. Not bad for a 25-tonne loaded yacht! The two electric winches are a welcome aid to manoeuvring, as is the presence of a strong crew member to help hoist the sails from the foot of the mast.

The boat is fitted with three reefs, the first of which is automatic, and all the controls are positioned in front of the helmsman on the flexible photovoltaic panels covering the coachroof.

At the helm, even if you don't feel like you're at the helm, the feeling of power is there, especially in the chop, where the boat cuts its course with sovereignty.

The roof itself houses a large U-shaped flybridge saloon where everyone can find their place.

Aura 51, powered by Smart Electric

The 75 HP diesel engines of the base model and its 11 kW generator have been replaced on this boat by two 400 V electric propulsion systems, each consisting of an outboard pod motor (26 kW), an LFP lithium battery and a set of power electronics. These two systems are independent, as on a conventional catamaran, and the boat can rely on one if the other should fail.

In port, the batteries of these two systems (2x27 kWh) will be able to draw their energy from the shore chargers, which can be recharged overnight. When sailing, stopped electric motors are driven by the water and, when set in motion, they produce current. This hydro generation, which can be improved, delivers around 1 kWh per hour of sailing. When the boat hydro-generates, it produces a perceptible noise, but it's bearable because you know you're putting up with it for the right reason, to generate power...

The most powerful charging system on board is a 32 kW generator, which starts automatically when the SOC (state of charge) of the batteries falls below 80% and is capable of recharging the batteries in a few hours. More importantly, this generator is capable of keeping the yacht running at a speed of between 6 and 7 knots, even if the batteries are flat, until the 1000 litres of diesel run out.

When the boat is running on full batteries, it has a range of three to four hours at around five knots. Faced with wind and waves, the power required to maintain engine speed increases while range decreases.

With the electric motor alone, a slight noise is still perceptible, but it's nothing like the racket orchestrated by two diesels in operation. It's particularly noticeable inside the rear cabins.

When the generator starts up, it is fitted with an insulating cocoon and placed in a soundproof hold, and is remarkably discreet. It makes no more noise than the smaller generators we're used to.

The management and understanding of the displays, apart from a few display and conversion bugs, works well and makes it easy to understand how the yacht's energy system works.

The batteries of the propulsion systems can be pooled with the (too) small service batteries to recharge them, which ensures that you can tackle the night with full service batteries.

Finally, in terms of fuel consumption, replacing the two diesel propulsion engines and the service generator with a single powerful generator drastically reduces fuel consumption by more than 50%. On the scale of a cruise, that's 100 to 200 litres of diesel saved, and just as many fewer emissions and particles. Over the life of the boat, this means tens of thousands of litres of diesel will not be consumed.

Fountaine Pajot MY5 Reviewed

  • By Sam White
  • August 28, 2024

Fountaine Pajot MY5

The MY5, the first flybridge catamaran in the Fountaine Pajot powercat line and previously known as the MY40, pushes the boundaries of powercat cruising in speed, safety and style. 

Thanks to its dual-hull cat design with suspended central platform, the MY5 offers increased interior volume, long range and stability, at rest and underway. Powercats are also highly efficient, requiring less propulsion to achieve similar speeds and ranges as conventional monohull vessels.

Fountaine Pajot MY5

The flybridge deck is a standout feature, offering virtually unobstructed 360-degree ocean views and an elevated beach club vibe. Aft of the off-center starboard helm is a spacious area perfect for entertaining, complete with a wet bar, refrigeration center, and seating. It’s the most popular space aboard, according to the builder. If the weather turns, a second helm station in the salon allows the skipper to pilot the MY5 in climate-controlled comfort.

On the main deck, architect Daniel Andrieu and the Andreani Design team created a modern yet timeless look, maximizing the use of space offered by the vessel’s nearly 20-foot beam. The galley, located on the starboard side, connects both interior and exterior spaces while the foredeck offers a sunbather’s paradise with dual lounges and abundant seating.

Fountaine Pajot MY5

At the stern, an optional hydraulic swim platform lowers for launching a PWC or small tender. A swim ladder provides easy access from the water. The teak cockpit has an L-shaped settee and easy access to the engines via deck hatches. Crew safety is a priority, with secure grab rails along the spiral staircase leading to the flybridge and tall railings along the walkaround alleys fore and aft.

Fountaine Pajot MY5

Belowdecks, the Maestro layout includes an owner’s suite with a private companionway for added privacy. The stateroom, equipped with a transverse queen berth, gets natural light via hullside windows. The VIP stateroom has a similar-sized berth, while the forward guest stateroom offers twin bunks. Two heads and enough stowage space for extended cruising complete the accommodations.

Fountaine Pajot MY5

The Fountaine Pajot MY5 is standard with twin 300 hp diesels and Volvo Penta IPS drives and has a 1,000-nautical-mile range at an economical 18 knots. With optional 440 hp engines, the MY5 has a top hop of 22 knots, and with a draft of just 3 feet, 6 inches, shallow-water anchorages are easily accessible.

are you talking about? It makes a difference in the , because a lot of the up there specialize in covered berths, with very little room for sailboats.

marinas.. they are all pretty picky, but all but a few have liveaboards.. they are more interested in what you come in with than the liveaboard issue.. If your is clean, looks good, and you have all the required equeptment on board, you wont have a problem.. your appearance is it biggest issue..
And we have the issue of the % of compaired to liveaboards here also..
BUT, just last week a couple pulled in with their 60 foot and now live on an end tie behind me.. it all depends on how you act and what the boat is like..
is another issue.. a few years ago a tank blew at Pirates Lair on the loop.. it took out half the shed it was under, and totaled a good number of around it.. many didnt have including a new bayliner which was destroyed..
Most marinas require a minamum of 300k liability..some are even higher..
If you are thinking of moving up her, you need to get a start on doing it as when the gets nice for the summer, boat from the bay migrate up here to escape the cold of San Francisco's summer.. the delta marinas fill up durring the summer..
22-01-2010, 10:31  
boat in excellent condition. I want to spend a year and perfecting my sailing with the intention of cruising the Pacific. I really do need a home marina, because I plan to during this year. I was considering gunk holing around but changed my mind in favor working while doing the sea trials. Seems that Delta marinas are much like the others in . Might try Virginia instead, but that puts the Pacific much harder to get to.

boat in excellent condition. Id be interested in seeing it.. Not that it cant be done, but uasally, the re-fit will cost you that much just to get it out-fitted for cruising..

fast; the delta is where I would be based while working. There would be plenty of times to the and the ocean, although it might take a day or three to get there.
