The definitive pre-survey guide for the Fountaine Pajot Helia 44.
This model-specific document shows buyers exactly where structural, mechanical, and moisture-related issues most often appear on the Helia 44 — before committing to travel, a haulout, or a full marine survey.
Inside you’ll find:
• known weak points and age-related issues unique to the Helia 44
• structural hotspots: mini-keels, windows, saildrives, steering, chainplates
• moisture-risk zones and deck-hardware bedding failures
• photo + video checklist for remote evaluations
• sea-trial guidance tailored to the Helia’s behavior
• negotiation notes based on typical findings
• long-term ownership considerations for offshore cruising
This guide helps buyers ask the right questions, request the correct evidence, and avoid costly surprises. It is a required first step before sending us photos or purchasing Remote Pre-Survey Support.
