What an amazing video! I made the first comment to praise the sailboat, but while I finished watching the video I had to leave another comment, this time to congratulate the beautiful work that this channel does, showing all the details and information about the boat.

Thank you that is much appreciated!

I love what's happening right now in the performance catamaran world: Outremer with their new line (55 & 52) of more modern integrated saloon / cockpit concept, Balance innovating with the flexihelm and the Integrel alternators, HH driving catamarans towards hybrid electric and MASSIVE solar panels integrated in the coach roof, Dazcat Ocean Cruiser 55 with spreaderless mast, wing sails, and all the latest tech. Can't wait to see what next few years will bring!

Toby, definitely your best boat review ever!!! 👍Loved that long format video with extended sailing and amazing sceneries, combined with your unique commentary style! As a future O52 owner (hull #4) it was really nice to get your first impression while we wait for our delivery early August. We'll probably watch your video a few more times until we get to La Grande Motte for Outremer Cup in May. Nothing like close racing around buoys to get a good feel for the boat, at least until we cross the Atlantic this winter 😉

@yachtingworld Год назад

Thank you @SailingAWEN ! We did wonder how long too long might be, but with the equivalent space of a 65-70ft monohull and plenty of time on board and sailing in good breeze, there was a lot to show. Glad it helped you even though you've already made your decision. We're jealous! Hope you enjoy the Cup and the cruising when you get your boat. T

There seems to be some decent older performance cats on the used market available now for around the 500K mark. Don't know how much a refit of one of those would be though... Maybe that could be an alternative... Or perhaps ask Marsaudon Composites if they have one of their 50-footers available within a year or so. One of those would be less than this Outremer 52. YOLO... ;-)

Great work Toby. I would point out this is why I watch channels where they review older boats. You can't get an new one of these for 4 years. But you can get a 4 year old one now. If you watch some of the other channels they order and put a deposit on something like this then buy and flip older boats hoping to pay off a chunk of the new one when it is done.

Amazing boat It was a bit strange for me with that open cockpit, but when I saw how the helm wheel can be folded if necessary, it's a totally crazy thing it looks very good quality, there are no squeaks while sailing, at least they were not heard on the video But that it is incredible that the future owner is waiting 4 years for the boat, it is only proof that potential buyers have recognized what it is. I like this kind of longer reviews, they show a lot more in different conditions That sunrise at the beginning was beautiful

@timrees786 Год назад

Awesome video as always. Toby always has a great time on these things, but this seemed to be another level. I'd be so torn between this and the HH44/52. Outremer has the pedigree and the amazing customer service, but I find these new HH boats to be more ambitious and forward leaning with their Hybrid engines and huge solar banks. One day Toby will get to review one of them and I'll watch with keen interest!

@yachtingworld Год назад

Thank you and yes, I'm hoping to sail one soon too Tim!

@angela1984a Год назад

I'm guessing Outremer would put the same or a very similar hybrid system on one of their boats if you pay them. And I'm pretty sure you can cover the roof on the Outremer 52 with solar as well...

@jimheaven Год назад

Absolutely fantastic review. Got a wonderful feel for the boat. It looks perfect. The galley/kitchen area on the 55 does seem a bit special in comparison with the 52 though. I did wonder if the single wheel helm of the 52 compared with the double on the 55 would make a difference but it seems more versatile having just one wheel and a filler on the other side. Those hull bench seats have my name all over them! I would have liked to have seen how the back seating area works, compared with the 55 that has that has a very clever arrangement. I’m so pleased it’s probably your ultimate cruising boat, I had the same feeling! As did many others it seems with an extraordinary order book! Why why why is no one in the UK making a package like this?

@yachtingworld Год назад

Thanks @jimheaven! Yes the island galley unit on the 55 is a big difference - so it's all about how social you plan on being... Dazcat in Cornwall have a pretty cool looking new 55 designed - you can do a VR tour of it - so you could look at that if you want a UK fast cat.

@TheSailingFamily Год назад

All in the Outremer 52 is ~$1.55m USD. That's the same price as a HH52 and a Balance 482. Toby, of those three which would you choose?!?! :) Great review as always! Keep it up!!!

@yachtingworld Год назад

Actually I think the HH would be a fair bit more, but is a full carbon boat @TheSailingFamily. Base price for the 52-OC is currently $1.5m and the SC starts at $1.9m. The Balance would be closer but the 526 is a more comparable size. I'd need to sail them both - preferably in similar conditions to this - to make that call please!

@angela1984a Год назад

Which one is the least amount of weight? Which one can be optioned with the most amount of non-shaded solar? Which one is least sensitive to being over-loaded weight wise? Which one has the best main sheet system? Can you option some other main sheet system if you so prefer? Then go for test sails on all of them perhaps...

Imagine well support of the bow in terms of displacement under and around the bow. The headsails deeply keeled more than the mast blades by 3or4 times. Then wider than tall by two. 80 ft wide forty ft mast 70 to 80 ft long well keeled academic keeling design stem to stern. Stem deep remember??

@terrygalvin9653 Год назад

Any concerns about all those vertical windows at the front of the bridge deck space? Just seems vulnerable when heading into big seas. Wave-piercing bows mean more waves higher on the boat sometimes, yes?

@angela1984a Год назад

I'm guessing that has been tested thoroughly... Outremer is a big manufacturer... And also: This is a fast sailing boat. It can also probably do some ~10 knots with just the two diesel engines. And weather forecasting these days seem to be pretty good. If you can afford this boat then you can also probably afford to stay a couple more days at some kind of slip to avoid the worst storms out there...

It looks like a great cat but considering it's gained over 1.2 tonnes over the 51 I'd be slightly concerned about the performance. Though to be fair it is still a full tonne lighter than the sea wind 1600.

@markcampbell7577 Год назад

Fine in need of refinement. You might have discovered that the boat has a pitch pole hazard. You need to keep the bow up out of the water and blade keeling of the headsails to keep the speed you think you are getting from a narrow pontoon. The boat on the surface and blades keeling the mast and headsails is a faster solution. Wider would improve the speed but with narrow pontoons you have more serious pitch Pole accident..

For a 52 footer it seems the main cabin is small, the idea of having the trampolines so far back cuts space away from the internal living area or they could have shortened the trampolines and made a space for sitting, it just all seems squeezed in. Other than that nothing can beat a day of sailing in close to perfect conditions.

@BilldalSWE Год назад

That's the sacrifice of a performance cruising cat and why length is not a good measurement to compare with "normal" cats... An Outremer 52 has a displacement (dry) of 14t compared to 26t dry for the same length Lagoon 52... Hulls need to be narrow for speed which means they don't have as much buoyancy forward as regular cats. That in turn means living areas (in other words the weight) have to be pushed backward in the boat. Or you can look at it the other way an say they take a 38-40ft cat with 38-40ftliving quarters and extend the hulls 12-15ft to 52ft to gain hull speed/performance...
