CHARACTERISTICS
Your HÉLIA 44 belongs to the « OCEAN-GOING » category (category A).
A
pleasure boat of design category A is considered as designed for winds which can
exceed force 8 (in the Beaufort scale) and for waves which can exceed a height
of 4metres, excluding exceptional conditions such as thunderstorms, violent storms,
tornadoes and extreme maritime conditions or huge waves.
The navigation ability also depends on the crew’s skills. Their physical abilities, the
condition of the boat and hardware.
Be very careful before going to sea. Fountaine Pajot cannot guarantee the perfect ope-
ration of the boat in exceptional sea conditions (violent storms, hurricanes, cyclones,
tornadoes, etc.)
The Hélia 44 is a boat susceptible to capsize and to stay inverted if there are excessive
sails. This is why it is important to respect the sail reduction table.
