Brand: Outremer 55

And like all Outremer’s, the 55 is built like a rock, with solid fiberglass hulls. The Outremer 55 was honored in 2000 as the Cruising World “Best Cruising Multihull.” This boat is a real performance voyager, a true sailing machine for a serious cruiser to knock off plenty of 200 plus mile days. If you are about performance and comfort underway, the Outremer 55, represents very good value for a yacht of her size.

These Gerard Danson-designed Outremers built in the early 2000’s are respected and sought after world voyaging catamarans. Their formula for success is simple: narrow hulls, strong and simple construction, powerful sailplans, daggerboards for windward performance, and low maintenance exteriors and interiors.

Features engines with propeller shafts (vs. saildrives), skegs to protect the props and rudders and allow for beaching, anodized spars vs. painted spars, no exterior wood (except a few trim pieces in the cockpit), and substantial bridgedeck clearance.

The Outremer 55 Light is in the same vision of the 55 Standard with 60cm less on the beam.

Succeeded by the 55S which is faster and boasts a 35% larger interior.
