Apple Pie is a beautifully maintained 2013 Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 Owner’s Version, thoughtfully equipped for comfortable liveaboard cruising and extended offshore adventures. This highly sought-after three-cabin, two-head owner’s layout offers a spacious owner’s hull, an inviting salon with panoramic views, and an open cockpit that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. Designed by Joubert-Nivelt and built by Fountaine Pajot, the Lipari 41 is renowned for its efficient performance under sail, comfortable accommodations, and ease of handling, making it an excellent choice for couples or families looking to cruise with confidence.

Unlike many vessels of this vintage, Apple Pie has never been chartered and has been meticulously cared for by knowledgeable owners. Prepared for long-distance passagemaking, she has benefited from an extensive list of upgrades completed over the past several years. Highlights include new sails, new standing and running rigging, bowsprit, a substantial lithium battery bank, and updated safety and communication equipment. Be sure to review the detailed specifications for the complete list of improvements.

A significant advantage of this vessel is its 2019 repower. Following Volvo’s recall of the original D1-30 diesel engines, Apple Pie received new Volvo D1-30 engines, which currently have fewer than 2,000 hours. This provides the next owner with the reliability and peace of mind that comes with a much newer propulsion package.

Safety and ease of operation were clearly priorities in outfitting this vessel. Apple Pie features a comprehensive Garmin electronics suite, including multifunction displays at both the helm and navigation station, Garmin autopilot, wind instrumentation, and integrated navigation systems to simplify coastal cruising and offshore passages alike.

Ground tackle has also been upgraded well beyond factory specifications. An oversized Rocna anchor, 250 feet of 3/8-inch anchor chain, and an electric anchor windlass provide exceptional holding power and confidence when anchoring in a variety of conditions.

One of Apple Pie’s standout custom features is her heavy-duty davit system, engineered to raise the dinghy significantly higher than the standard Fountaine Pajot davits. This thoughtful upgrade offers improved clearance and security, allowing the vessel to handle following seas with greater confidence while keeping the tender safely out of harm’s way.

Combining Fountaine Pajot’s proven design, a desirable owner’s layout, extensive cruising upgrades, and the benefit of newer engines, Apple Pie represents an exceptional opportunity for sailors seeking a capable, comfortable, and turn-key cruising catamaran ready for her next adventure.
