What distinguishes the model
- On long passages the Outremer 55 shows exceptional efficiency: 18,000 nautical miles were covered with only 350 engine hours.
- Under gennaker the performance catamaran reaches a proud 13 to 15 kn in 18 kn of wind and also sails briskly in light winds.
- The yard maintains a mature, almost family-like customer service network with Pacific service and is considered bluewater-proven.
