    Its success is quite expectable. The Outremer 55 is not just a fast boat but it's also provide such a high level of comfort. The island in the kitchen is just so brilliant that it combines a lot of functions together. I wouldn't be surprised if more high-end cat-manufacturers copy it in the future.

      @@datAero the only similarity is the vers helm, and even then the outremer has 2 helm stations either side while balance only has 1. Vers helm stations were not seen on balance first, they have been around on custom cats for years and years just like forward cockpit helm thats now found on kinetic, gunboat, broadblue rapier, marvin & menelli, chris white who is under the delusional impression that he did it first some 10 years ago while David de Villiers has designed a boat with that layout that has sailed across the world twice before chris even penned anything. Also the outremer looks much prettier while the balance look like it was literally assembled by left over scrap parts from all the south african cat builders.

      Outremer has no appeal with these oversized vessels with an insane delivery time, expect to wait 4-5 years from purchase. I would rather go with a Nautitech 44 or 46 with just a slight performance/comfort reduction but with much better pricing.

      there was no partnership at all between LV and outremer. Riley and Elayna paid full price for that boat which they are now selling. this probably factored in hugely as to why they didn't upgrade with outremer. simply put, the french won't deal on their boats to YT'ers. the value proposition with outremer and other french makes to the consumer market is non-existent. there are much better boats out there for a lot less $'s.

    • @adammallerman8153
      @adammallerman8153 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      It's true that they paid for LV2. From what Reilly has said, they negotiated a good price with Outremer but no more than that. What the company did was handle the financing in-house otherwise they could not have bought the boat. It was a great move by the company and its paid dividends. Outremer had been seen as performance but not comfortable. LV changed all that and they've sold a lot of hulls because of the deal.

    Just seen this so not sure if anybody still responds but in case they do, here is a long question.
    Any sail boat doing 12-15 knots requires attention from the crew, at those speeds things can go wrong quickly even in benign conditions, most bluewater sailors steer by autopilot for long parts of the day especially when short handing. The temptation with a boat like this would be to passage plan at 10 knots or more and expect to achieve it; what is the safe maximum speed to assume with minimal crew intervention ie under auto pilot and are there safety devices that for example will dump the traveler if the angle of heal exceeds X.

    • @yachtingworld
      @yachtingworld  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I think you could passage plan at 10 knots on this. And yes, the system a lot of racing multihull sailors use is called UpsideUp - and can dump the main, traveller, headsail sheet etc at given heel angles/loads

    • @StephenEtchells
      @StephenEtchells ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@yachtingworld Thanks for the reply, I am not a bluewater sailor but I have chartered a FP 40 20 years ago which was a revelation compared to the monohulls I had sailed prior to that. We did try to get one of the hulls out of the water but could only do this with the assistance of waves and we hit a maximum boat speed of about 12 knots on a reach. I had never heard of Upside Up but have just googled it and it looks good but its in the range of £12K.
      I don't know enough about cats to know whether a FP40 at 12 knots is inherently more or less stable than an Outremer 57 or a Gunboat at 15-17 knots; but I would be interested to read articles that discussed this and similar issues on monohulls.
      Upside Up is also specified for monohulls and I can see why; Code zeros have revolutionised light airs sailing for me but are a concern with sudden squalls especially as I only sail as a couple these days or with older/ novice guests.
      So long way round but I would welcome an article or series of articles on how to sail cruising boats fast but safely .

    I guess for someone who appreciates more cabins than 4 then Outremer's philosophy is not exactly what I'm looking for...but is there a big difference in speed or does Outremer's more uncompromising sportiness end up with similar speed to Neel's trimaran configuration?

Their finish may be great, but the inherent structural and component quality standards are questionable at best, considering the price tag. We'll see within the next decade or so, what the resale value of the two are, by comparison. The market may be slow to realize build quality, but it its not stupid. Just compare how robust the steering gear is between the two. It perfectly illustrates the point. Why does La Vaga want to sell so soon? Light cats get thrown around in rough seas, even more than heavier boats and the forces between the hulls are far higher, especially when one considers the higher speeds. Are the Lagoon bhead issues forgivable by those lost at sea? One doesn't mess with the Ocean and there is such a thing as a minimum.

      With the wheel outboard, it appears the helmsman's head is higher than the boom. You are going to stand on watch during a 20 day passage? The interior looks rather small for a 55 footer. This boat sails well though. Can't argue with that.

    3:55 Ugly chop? That's a regular day on a midsized lake. Be serious.
    Also, for a CRUISER, not a RACER, with a price tag of Euro 1.5 million, why are the helm stations completely exposed? For that price, shouldn't the dodgers, biminis and curtains be included? That is an issue of mine on most sailboats, regardless of the number of hulls. And, I do not want to hear any nonsense about how the wheels tilt down into the cockpit. The helmsman is still exposed to the weather without biminis dodgers and curtains and needs to access the winches on the cabin top. Additionally, the helmsman's view from the cockpit is very limited, especially at night, in spite of your opinion at 6:11. Of course, the boat has radar and fortunately for sailors everywhere electrical/electronic systems never fail on a sailboat, especially when you need them. And speaking of sailing at night, if the boat is going downwind in robust conditions and the helmsman is down in the cockpit and the glass sliders to the main salon are closed, can the helmsman see through the glass sliders and through the forward cabin ports if any lights inside the saloon are illuminated? No glare? Did you test that? Bet not. So, the better, safer, useable option would be to make the exterior helm stations robust, weather and temperature tight because, that is where you want to steer this boat.
    A 55 foot long cat is big and wide for a personal boat, but it is not big and wide in terms of the ocean, wind and waves and things. So why are the cabinet and countertop corners quite pointy?
    7:06 Wait a minute. This being a fast family cruiser and all, but not a six adult male crewed racing boat, do you seriously expect my 16 year old daughter (or me or my wife) to spend the majority of our watches standing at the helm stations, because there are no seats? This is cruising? And, those benches are not helm seats. They are outboard stern seats.
    4:05 & 8:29 Wait a second minute. What is the clearance of the boom over the bimini/cabin top? It looks to me about 18 to 20 inches. So, apparently there is insufficient clearance to install a dodger and bimini over the helm stations. Does this boat come with football helmets for the people at the helms?
    Ok, perhaps I have misidentified the boat. It is a racer, not a cruiser. Sorry.

      Many of your points are addressed on the video we did on the smaller sister Outremer 52, including what it's like to sail from the cockpit, with bimini protection rigged, at night, helm seat comfort etc. Definitely a cruising yacht not a racer - even if this particular 55 is spec'd for high performance
