Outremer 42

The Outremer 42 catamaran  is lighter, yet boasts a larger interior then her legendary sistership – the Outremer 45.
The best news, she is also a lot more affordable. The evolution of performance. Mies Van der Rohe observed that “God is in the details.“  So is performance.

The subtle re-sculpting of the saloon roof line. A few hundred pounds shaved from the deck structure. An increase in the power to weight ratio. A reduction of draft and an increase in interior volume. Details that can result in more speed, greater stability and enhanced comfort. …With true passion there is no rest.

Outremer goes Green! Atelier Outremer has recently launched an “Electric-Drive Outremer”.  The catamaran is equipped with 13kw Fisher Panda gensets and electric motors powering sail drives in each hull. One genset can also run both electric motors in case of a problem or to save fuel. Top speed has been recorded at a respectable 9.5 knots, which is about the same as a boat equipped with twin diesels. We have seen gains of about 30% more fuel efficiency since the gensets run at a steady 3000 rpm. They are also virtually silent, are easy to maneuver via twin joysticks and provide instant torque. There are no storage batteries as they would ad weight -contradicting Outremers’ approach to a light and fast boat.
