Construction

Sources

Dimensions/construction per Outremer's own factory 'Standard Specifications 2014 V1' PDF, cross-checked against boat-specs.com and Multihulls World for LOA/beam. That factory sheet lists 'Length: 15.27m (50.1ft)' as a separate, shorter figure than the widely-cited LOA (51'4"/15.65m) -- interpreted as LWL given a catamaran-plausible ~97.6% LWL/LOA ratio, since no source labels it explicitly either way. Draft 0.95m board-up to 2.35m board-down (7.71ft, used here). Displacement is the factory sheet's light figure (10.0 T); loaded is 13.7T/30,203lb. Sail area: standard mainsail 85 sqm + jib 40 sqm per the factory sheet (a 91 sqm square-top mainsail and gennaker/spinnaker are listed as options, not used). Hull explicitly 'infused with monolithic polyester below the waterline and PVC polyester sandwich above' with a vinylester barrier coat on the external skin only -- gives a rare, explicitly-sourced per-location core-material breakdown, and classified hull_layup_resin as polyester (structural resin throughout both zones). Composite daggerboards, composite rudders on aluminum stocks. Self-supporting aluminum deck-stepped mast (standard; not carbon, despite some secondary sources describing rotating carbon spars on other Outremer models). Mainsail and self-tacking Solent jib both 'high-tenacity Dacron'. Twin 40hp sail-drive engines. Standard helm is a single wheel station to starboard in the aft cockpit area (demountable tillers offered as an alternative, not modeled here). Verified 2026-07-12. [Rudder/tankage/electrical update, 2026-07-16]: Rudder type/construction not confirmed in available sources (daggerboards and rudders are described only as "sized to handle the conditions"), left null rather than assume. Fuel/water tankage differs meaningfully across this model's long production run (since 2013): an older figure of 88gal fuel/100gal water vs. a more recent 550L (2x275L, ~145.3gal) fuel/430L (2x215L, ~113.6gal) water -- used the more recent, more detailed figures. No holding-tank or electrical-system data found.
