THE OUTREMER 5X IS TAKING SHAPE

Press Release

On the 12 July 2011, Outremer Yachting proceeded with the stripping of the Outremer 5X out of its mould outside their workshop.

It revealed two superb hulls and a bridgedeck, which augur well for the future.
This high performance ocean cruising catamaran is a fast and powerful safe yacht. Her flowing, quite modern lines reveal great lineage. Indeed, the shipyard called upon the most competent workforce in each field for the design of the Outremer 5X:

• VPLP, the world leading designer of racing and cruising multihulls were responsible for drawing the plans.

• Michel Desjoyaux's input, through his Mer Forte consulting office, was the design of a high performance and functional deck layout, suitable for short-handed sailing.

• Franck Darnet Design, creator of the Outremer 49 and of the entire Allures range, designed the interior.

• Patrick Le Quément, former director of the Renault design office, was consulted to match the boat design for purpose.

The interior is clean, elegant and smart. The furniture is painted white to enhance the beauty of the walnut woodwork. On the owners' version, the port hull suite includes a king size bed (2 x 2 metres), a superb view over the sea and an office. A 4-cabines version and an owners' version with crew cabin are also available.
The flagship of the Outremer range will be launched in December 2011.

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 !
