OUTREMER 45
Performance, Pedigree, and Comfort
Delphine is a winner! She won her division at the inaugural Caribbean Multihull Challenge in St. Maarten and twice won the catamaran division in Grenada Sailing Week. Light displacement, narrow hulls, and daggerboards allow for impressive speeds, even in light winds.
The cockpit is well protected for safe sailing in open water and comfortable at anchor. The salon and nav station occupy the light, airy main living area. The U-shaped settee has overstuffed cushions and a large dining table for entertaining. She has a unique layout with a huge galley down in the aft starboard cabin. An ample double stainless-steel sink keeps things tidy. Any chef will admire the privacy, the amount of counter space for prep work, and the storage arrangement. There is a twin bunk midships and a single cabin forward. The port side is the owner’s space and includes a freshwater electric head.
The Gerard Danson designs are considered by some to be the perfect combination of speed and comfort. The long, slender hulls track very well and enable good speeds on passages; a steady 8-10 knots is not unusual, and the upper teens have been achieved without fuss. The Outremer 45 is one of the most popular, sought-after models on the used market.
Thrilling under sail and comfortable at anchor. What more do you need?
Delphine is a very well-cared-for sailing machine, to be enjoyed by the adventurous sailor.
