As every year, the friendly 2 day sail regatta will be held close to the factory near Montpellier France. More than 25 Outremer catamarans are expected, ranging from a 1987 Outremer 40 to ALIZE, Outremer’s flagship 64S, which is presently receiving new equipment. Even the famous winner of the 2000 STAR Single Handed Transatlantic Race will be present to defend her title against visitors and an international crew from around the world. Fun filled events, dinners and parties will complement the racing, so even non sailors will find something to do. The charming town of Montpellier is in close proximity and will form an ideal getaway for shopping, dining and sight seeing.

The shipyard, world renown for their efficient and well performing catamarans, will also present the new Outremer 42, which boasts the same volume as the 45, yet is more economical to acquire and run. Hull Nr. 5 has just been launched and can be seen at the factory.

Read more about FEA in an excerpt from Gregor Tarjan’s upcoming book to be published in August:

Aeroyacht has just delivered a brand new Lavezzi 40 Maestro model to her proud new owners Monica Sell and Lee Cook of Canada. The boat undertook her maiden voyage from La Rochelle, France to Le Havre, where she was shipped as deck cargo on a specialty freighter. After 5 weeks of sailing, the new Fountaine Pajot catamaran was unloaded and is now being recommissioned.

The owners are very experienced sailors, who owned and lived aboard their Manta 40. They plan to continue their adventures by taking their Lavezzi 40- WANADOO-to the ruggedly beautiful Aleutian Island chain off the West Coast of Canada
