Unusual Catamaran Salvaged off Australian Beach

How WEIRD is THIS?!

Stranded catamaran washes ashore at Middle Park Beach

A LARGE catamaran has washed ashore on a popular Melbourne beach after battling rough seas. 
  
The 18m (59ft) stranded vessel was beached at Middle Park Beach near Beaconsfield Parade before 2pm on Saturday. Police said the boat had been anchored offshore but rough conditions had pushed it on to the beach despite attempts to steer it away from shallow water. Water police tried to pull the stricken vessel back into the water but were unsuccessful. The owners have now had to call in a salvage team.

The boat has attracted attention from hundreds of surprised locals and visitors who have been hitting the beach over the Australia Day weekend.

Outremer 5X Wins European Boat of the Year 2013

The 59' Outremer 5X performance cruiser received the European Boat of the Year award in her category for 2013! Winners were announced last weekend during the Dusseldorf boat show. This award follows the win of this very award last year for the Outremer 49. Obviously this manufacturer puts great thought into their designs. While the Outremer 5X will not be attending the Miami Boat Show Feb 14th-18th, the Outremer 49 will be there, represented by Just Catamarans and the Outremer Yachting team from France. It will be a real treat to meet the Outremer team. Congratulations to a much deserved award!
