1996 ATHENA 38 - For Sale | Multihull World

Broker Comments

This is a great catamaran, faster than expected for a cruising cat and great fun to sail. The Athena is small enough to be used for coastal cruising but large enough to cross oceans when asked. This series of catamarans from Fountaine Pajot were still great sail boats, before they focussed more on the charter market.
