Candidate Models / Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 (2015-2019)
Specs summary: compact ~38.5 ft cruising catamaran (successor to the Lipari 41) with multiple common layouts (eg Maestro 3-cabin owner's vs Quatuor 4-cabin charter). This model is a close fit on beam and draft, but it appears to miss the stated envelope on LOA (slightly under 39 ft) and on waterline-to-mast clearance (typically quoted a few inches above 63 ft).

| Beam | 21-26 ft (6.40-7.92 m) |
| Draft | 3 ft 9 in-5 ft 4 in (1.14-1.63 m) |
| Bridge deck clearance | >= 30 in (0.76 m) at loaded displacement (lowest point); prefer ~33 in (0.84 m) |
