Outremer Catamaran Update



An update from Outremer after the show at La Grande Motte - Among several future new Outremer sailors, were also those who were looking to buy used. During the show Outremer 49 "Amaris" has gone under contract. Sold during this time was Outremer 45 "Anada" and Outremer 45 "Fuli". Our Outremer 45 "Aldora" was sold here in Fort Lauderdale during this time as well. And, Outremer 55 "Gargalou" and Outremer 38/43 "Thales" are pending sales.

Not to worry, still available is Outremer 49 hull#1 and also "Papa Millas". We've also just listed most possibly the nicest kept Outremer 49. (While the others are in France and adequately equipped, this one is equipped "to the nines" and spared no expense with carbon rig, tiller steering, and owner layout. I say she is possibly the nicest kept Outremer 49 because I know the owner and he is meticulous and restricts access to his boat to only a few people.) 2001 Outremer 50 has also entered the market at 309.000 euros - full refit in 07/09.

The new Outremer 51 continues to bring about enthusiasm and those who attended the show were invited to the Outremer boat yard in La Grande Motte to take a peek at the extended Outremer 49, commencing at hull#25. Next delivery for a new Outremer 51 is slated for November 2013.

The new 59' super awesome Outremer 5X has now a March 2014 delivery as the December slot has been taken.

Catamaran Overboard

Yes, you read it right! And there is a news station reporting it...So it must be true!

Unfortunately, we must always remember to trust but verify. Upon digging the scoop further I found a video of the "38ft catamaran" in question. It is indeed a Corsair Sprint 750 MKII (which if you know multihulls, you know this is trimaran). But, this clip/news article serves to remind us 2 very important lessons:
1 - As noted above, trust but verify. Make sure to check your news sources before jumping to conclusions.
2 - The second party on board did not know how to sail when the power shut off and the captain accidentally fell overboard. I'm glad they were not far from shore where they were able to receive a tow back. But, even coastal, it is good to have a MOB plan and basic knowledge of the boat you are aboard. video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player
