Ventus’s history

Ventus is an Orana sailing catamaran from Fountaine-Pajot. She was ordered as a four-

cabin version and delivered in Marmaris (Turkey) to her first owner who sailed lightly in

Southern Turkey for nine years. The second, and current owners, purchased Ventus in

Spring of 2017. The vessel was upgraded adding blue water cruising equipment.

This boat has never been chartered.

In early 2017 we found Ventus for sale in Turkey. On inspection, we found the boat in

practically new condition and were very impressed with all she offered for our family’s sail

plan.

The boat was hauled out in the Marmaris Yacht Marine yard and prepared for an extensive

cruise by the trade winds. All new bowsprit, anchor, trampoline, dinghy (with custom

chaps), water maker, solar array/MPPT and stainless-steel frame were added, along with

other comfort features such as a television and wash machine.

Since the summer of 2017 we have been underway across the Mediterranean, the Atlantic,

and Caribbean with Ventus. The boat was stored ashore in the Power Boats, Chaguramas,

Trinidad boat yard for the 2018 hurricane season where additional outfitting was completed.

The boat had a new bottom job, refinished gelcoat, refinished cockpit door frame, salon

upholstery, sail drive seals, grill, lithium-ion house battery bank, and anchor chain.

Ventus’s Manufacture description SAILING QUALITIES

Ventus, or the Orana 44, is a cruising catamaran with good sailing performance. Her downwind sail (Code-D) permits her to achieve 9 knots with ease and comfort in 15

to 18 knots of wind. With 20+ knots of wind, the boat achieves 10 knots without being

pushed. A direct access to the 3-place helm seat offer very good visibility behind which

there is a reclining solarium. All controls lead to the helm for an easier and safer boat and

sail handling.

A superb bluewater cruising catamaran built by one of the most well renowned yards for

this type of boat offering a well-equipped layout with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms.

The cockpit features a large table seating 8 and open directly through a large sliding door

on the same level to the saloon and the galley with a panoramic view through wrap around

windows. This boat will take you in considerable style, security and comfort wherever you

want to go. Built with long term cruising in mind she is built to last with everything well-

constructed and heavy deck gear throughout, she is capable of proving all the comfort you

want from a cruising catamaran with good sailing performance to match.

ACCOMMODATION There are two accommodation plans, one the boat shown here with four cabins and

bathrooms, and one with three cabins and three bathrooms. Each hull has a bulkhead

about 2m back from the bow; an excellent safety feature. With the three-cabin set-up, the

area forward in the starboard hull can be arranged with a single berth or as a workshop and

storage area.

The interior is light and bright. The saloon is a nice place to be, with panoramic views, white

moldings and light timber trim. The cabins, too, are roomy. The owner's cabin, aft in the

starboard hull, has the berth mounted across the boat, beneath the molding, which provides

the raised steering platform. The furniture is not bonded to the hull, which provides easy

access to the electronics and equipment.

The galley is wide, set near the sliding door for easy access to the cockpit. The 180L fridge

is excellent, with a piano-style top-loading lid and sliding mesh trays so you can find what

you want without rummaging. The integral freezer holds 30L, and an extra 90L independent

freezer has been installed. The chart table with excellent outside view is facing forward.

The helmsman's seat holds three, and the raised helm position provides excellent view on

all four corners. All the winches and controls are led here for easy single-handing. Behind

the helm is a sun bed. Alongside it, is a seating and storage bench. The cockpit is spacious

with a large table sitting easily eight.

Simplicity is the Orana 44's theme. The boat lacks for nothing but everything has been

carefully and stylishly designed. A good example is the dinghy davits, two struts projecting

from the cockpit molding.

PERFORMANCE The Orana's solar diagram, the designer's performance predictors, shows that in 20 knots

of wind this boat will do 6 knots at 40 degrees. The nature of cruising cats

is shown by the fact that if you ease away only 10 degrees, boat speed tops 8 knots, and

by the time you hit 90 degrees you have 10 knots on the clock.

How does she do in a blow? Steve Fitzmaurice delivered an Orana south to Sydney from

importer EC Marine's headquarters in Mooloolaba. He told me the boat was happy beating

into a breeze of 25-35 knots, with the mainsail traveler eased well down the track, two reefs

in the mainsail, the mainsheet hard on to keep the mainsail steady, and about a third of the

jib unfurled.

He says there was little pounding of waves on the underside of the bridgedeck. The

clearance (between the water's surface and the bridgedeck's underside) is 78cm, which

seems to be an unofficial industry standard, although as Mark says, the effectiveness of

the clearance depends on the buoyancy of the hulls. Skinny hulls may rise slower to a

wave, and thus expose the bridgedeck to slamming, than a more buoyant hull which would

tend to rise faster to a swell.

A LIGHT TOUCH The Orana 44 is roomy and comfortable without being a caravan. It is also fun to sail as

it feels and handles like a light boat. As to that distribution of volume, which I mentioned

earlier, the Orana is spot-on. There is plenty of room below and in the saloon, but the

cockpit too is a great space.

You can imagine spending a lot of time on board, enjoying the one-level living that cats are

so good at. Boat buyers like the idea of the kitchen, living area and cockpit all being on the

same level.

General Accommodation Description MANUFACTURER PROVIDED DESCRIPTION:

ORANA 44 is intended to be a comfortable ocean-going vessel. Designed by the famous Joubert-Nivelt firm of architects, the ORANA 44 offers:

- Free on-deck movement.

- A very low center of gravity for maximum security, with opened access between the cockpit and

saloon.

- A large sliding window for direct communication between the saloon and cockpit.

- A three-seat steering station combining all navigation controls, with excellent visibility over the roof.

- A sheltered sundeck behind the steering station, which includes two portable sun loungers.

- Most importantly, great performances with 110m² of sail, which in normal weather would allow

extensive sailing under the wind, limiting use of motors.

- 4-cabin: in the passageways are four bright, attractive cabins, each with attached lavatory and separate

shower room.
