The very sporty concept and the weight-reduced design ensure rapid progress and active sailing fun even in light winds. Meaning: longer sailing, but less motoring. Owners can determine the performance potential of their Outremer 51 themselves. The boat can be equipped with either a normal standard rig or a higher, rotating carbon fibre profile wing mast. You can also choose between a genoa and a self-tacking jib.

Despite its sporty character, the Outremer 51 is also suitable for leisurely tours and long cruises on the high seas. Despite the slender hulls, which are rather small in volume compared to cruising cats, the concept of the boat makes few concessions in terms of cosiness and comfort.

You can read the test of the Outremer 51 in YACHT, issue no. 7/2019. The magazine is available in the DK shop, or you can download the test directly via the link below.
