Outremer Standard 50 Extended To 55

Outremer Standard 50 Extended To 55

Outremer catamaran\'s are fast, light production catamarans built by a professional shipyard in LA Grande Motte, France.

This Outremer 55 was originally built in 2001 to participate to the Route du Rhum in 2002, her former was Samsara 2.

After a big refit starting in 2008, a family of 3 left for a trip around the world.

This is a special Outtremer standard 55 and has a beam that is wider than any other.

From the owner -: being a Standard, she is especially light, even lighter than the 55\" light.

She was rated at 6 tons when she took part in the Route du Rhum race. Of course the current owners added some weight since she has been upgraded for family sailing around the world.

The Outremer 45 and 55 are the best looking family sailing cats sailing in the world. Together with the Looping and the Freddy, they are the fastest and the most reliable Multihulls crossing the ocean. Simple to sail fast and easy to service, I would say she is perfect for long and very safe runs across the ocean.

At mooring she is very comfortable with good ventilation and natural light.

This Outremer 55 is a fantastic vessel. Very easy to sail single handed. The cockpit is huge and very well protected. Reefs are taken in a few minutes from the mast.

The maintenance is also very easy as every system has very good access. For example, the diesel tanks can be taken out for cleaning in 30 minutes. The same process for the water tanks, impellers, oil filters, electric wiring, etc.

Everything on the boat can be dismantled for maintenance in few minutes. Therefore regular checks are easy and quick which is very useful to prevent any problems.

Being built for racing she is lighter and faster than any other Outremer 55 and 49. Crossing the Pacific Ocean, we did an average speed of 8.8 kts, only on sail. Some days with 250 nm per 24 hours. I think that for family cruising it\'s rather good. Being light and fast, she is very safe and comfortable when the sea conditions are getting rough. High speed allows to keep away of a growing depression. Surfs of over 20 kits are frequent.

Being owner of an Outremer means being part of the family, warmly welcomed anywhere in the world by other Outremer owners and admired by sailors who know the capabilities of the Outremer sailing cat.
