OUTREMER 5X A FAST LUXURY CATAMARAN WITH AN AMAZING PEDIGREE

Outremer Yachting is actually building a 59 footer, the Outremer 5X. Based on the Outremer 49 success, this light, fast and yet comfortable catamaran is designed by VPLP, Patrick Le Quément and Franck Darnet Design . A market reference.

The first Outremer 5X, the new flagship of the Outremer range, will be launched by the end of the year.

VPLP (the World leader in multihull design) and Patrick Le Quément (the former design director of the Renault car builder) designed fast and powerful hulls together with very modern deck, roof and cockpit lines. She will be much faster while being more comfortable than the famous Outremer 55.

The interior, by Franck Darnet Design is pure, simple and high-range. The white furniture is enhanced by the use of walnut trim. In the “owner” version, the port side hull offers a bed with a gorgeous view on the sea along with a working desk. A 4-cabin-version and a “shipowner + skipper” version are also available.

The Outremer 5X is a distinctive, powerful and high performance blue water cruising luxury catamaran. She has it all.

Watch the making of the moulds !!!

What a dream team and a pedigree !

Franck Darnet has designed the interiors of the NAHEMA 120 and also of the Fenomen by NAHEMA (NAHEMA 150) project. The 3ds of the Fenomen by NAHEMA are published online for the first time and look quite amazing. Franck is also designing smaller cats interior for Outremer Yachting for the Outremer 45 and 49. The agency works for superyacht builders such as Sunrise Yachts in turkey on a very large project to be announced soon. Other work include of course monohulls yachts but also eco friendly hotels, high end motor-homes, shutles boats, submarines houses in cooperation with the Miami agency... The main interesting fact about the news website is that you can really look at large large size pictures and realise that the team has a lot of talent in all the fields.

FRANCK DARNET DESIGN BIRTHDAY PARTY

Last Thursday, the 3rd of July, I was invited at the 10 years birthday party of Franck Darnet Design in Nantes. I took a few pictures of the very nice office and Franck giving his speach as you can see in the slide show (allow a few secondS to open the flash slideshow).

Franck introduced his company, described on-going and future projectS. He has quite a lot of experience in designing very nice yachtS interiors, working with famous naval architects and shipyards. I let you check his website. Of course I was more interested in multihulls. Franck has designed the NAHEMA 120 and is now working on the Fenomen by Nahema, a 150 footer in composite. I saw the first 3Ds they are amazing. If you have a large catamaran project get in touch with him. He is very talented at getting a 120 footer look like a 150, so I let you guess what a larger one would look.

It was a very nice evening. I got to meet with the owner of WHIMSY a beautiful 78foot Brian design monohull built by Vaudrey Miller in New Zealand, with Jean Claude Carme the VP of SUNRISE YACHTS and co-founder of US Submarines, Herve Couedel another talented designer winner of the International Superyacht Design Award with ZURBAGAN and Franck's design team all very nice talented people.
