Awesome video we are really looking forward to seeing the new boat and following your new adventures I know your excited also the gun boat in this video was truly amazing thanks for sharing
Hey, almost seven and a half minutes in I was surprised to see the NACRA 15 sailing by. Back in the early '80s I had a NACRA 5.8 I loved to sail. I only sold it because I was sick and tired of parts being stolen off of it while in the storage yard at the marina.
The O-55 at speed (and I know that the seastate wasn't nearly extreme) had very little water coming up from the bows to the cabin / coachroof, plus zero healing. Pretty amazing! You guys should be extremely comfortable crossing any ocean - bon voyage!
Nice video, great backlit drone shots. I was almost all the way through when I noticed that TH-cam was in low res. Of course I had to watch it again. Thanks.
So nice to see the progress. But i hope that you are back in Loosdrecht because it’s ice skating time🥶 i already saw some drone footage that people where skating on the Vuntus plas.
congratulations another nice video, little by little we are getting the full picture of this spectacular boat made by outremer , please give us a nice and detailed walkthrough soon
@@CatGreatcircle same here, .. we cuddle up in front of the fire and drink tea, or rum or both, ...so stay warm Greatcircle crew, and cheers again for taking us along on the built process
Yes indeed you can manually steer from underneath the Bimini as well with a pretty good view forward due to the increased sliding door and front window height. To control the winches you still have to go “outside”. No foils for us please...
@@CatGreatcircle Why not? I presume foils would get the hulls higher up in the sea and reduce the hulldrag.(not lifting it completly up, but more than when you´r at anchor.) They could have a fold-down center-foil under the anchor-chain room, folding back between the hulls. This would also reduce the need of keels and rudderboards. An other thing about hull- design I don´t understand is, if you look at fishes and airplanes they are thicker in front and slims backwards. Every aerodynamic research conclude in that´s the most effective shape. Then why don´t catamaran fabricators use this knowledge to design their boats with doublebeds midships instead of in the aft? In my opinion naval architects are way to conservative, and slowing down progress of efficiency.
Stupid question but does the 'FRA 5501' on the main stand for where it was built' FRA' (or maybe registered), the 55 stand for the length of the boat and the '01' maybe for your hull production number? If it doesn't then it's a really good coincidence.
Another stupid question: Since these boats have so many automated systems is there one that would release the main and other sails in case the wind threatened to tip the boat over, and can it react fast enough in a freak gust of wind? Or would it just try to come about? The latter seems more dangerous for anyone on board or anything not fastened down.
excellent, je suis vidéaste je ne peu que vous félicités pour la qualité d'images et de montage bravo "Gunboat" votre prochain je vous souhaite amitié jeff
@@CatGreatcircle I wasn't sure what to make of the boats, but wow, what weapons they are. As much as I love multihulls they are perfect for America's cup. Can't wait to see the evolution of them over the years too.
I am not an expert but my guess would be that sail handling on a cat is most of the times fairly easy and the furling systems of the main, especially the mast furling systems will significantly reduce the sails performance
I like the Outremer line of boats, BUT THAT Gunboat 68 (#04) has TO BE the BEST LOOKING silhouette I have EVER SEEN!!!! SUPER SLEEK and very SEXY lines. She is like a beautiful, sailing, runway Super Model. Hope you don't mind the female gender application here...
The Gunboat is truly stunning!
People considering the 55 have to be watching these. Just an amazing craft.

Beautiful boat the 68, incredibly beautiful paint job

We had a Nacra Inter 18 and a F18 ourselves

We can't wait for you to finally have your O55 to feast on beautiful images and good sail sequences.

Sure. I’ll keep that in mind when our own boat is finished in a couple of months
What a fantastic video...thx for sharing and I cant wait to see you sail your new boat..cheers from Canada mates and keep em coming!
Canadian temperatures coming to Holland this weekend, minus 20 apparently...

Thankyou, an enjoyable watch & as you say the paint on the Gunboat, amazing :-)
O I just said that in the comments but it’s apparently in the video as well. I keep repeating myself, must be the age
Tina is going with you on the World Adventure? Awesome - she was a nice addition to your channel coming back from the Americas.
Not only to the channel 😎, so yes happy that she comes along again
That Gunboat 6804 is definitely one sexy machine!
the spaces in the hulls have such clean lines ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yes it feels good, narrower hulls than before won’t be an issue. And the upside is clear.
Ok gracias, disfruto mucho se sus videos gracia x compartir..😉😊🇦🇷
You better get the smokers pack fitted if Tina is sailing with you !
She stopped smoking!!!
Beautiful boat, something to dream about!
I presume one can steer down below out of the weather on Auto , truly stunning , I wonder when they will fit foils ?

Wow what a beautiful boat!
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.
Great video 👍 I love your videos.

Outremer 55 hull #1 is a French registered boat indeed
Great video 👍

Yes these systems exist. Not necessary on an Outremer
Fantastic, thanks.
Music at 7:30 is great.
Yes just great what Marcus Miller can get out of just a couple of strings

C’est tres gentile Jeff, merci
We're going to need a faster drone :D
Should still be ok with about 40 knots in sports mode as long as we don’t sail an AC75 but in sports mode it’s kind of more nervous.
@@CatGreatcircle Ah ok, it can be done, although now I want to see you on a AC75 doing some drone catching :D
@@vokstar did you see the camera boat wasn’t even able to keep up with them in the semi-finals?
@@CatGreatcircle I wasn't sure what to make of the boats, but wow, what weapons they are. As much as I love multihulls they are perfect for America's cup. Can't wait to see the evolution of them over the years too.
Why do you never see mask or boom furling systems on catamarans?

Yes it’s gorgeous
Wow stunning CAT WOW .....
Gunboats = pure sex appeal.
