There are big problems and not so big problems on ANY boat. Knowing whether a boat is worth getting serious about only takes about 5 minutes or so if you look in key areas of the boat.

We're seeing a wave of inexperienced owners buying really big, powerful catamarans. We think this could be a recipe for frustration and perhaps even danger. Competency is really important to safe, relaxed operation, and it seems that Outremer shares our vi...

Welcome to the Outremer 55, Moonshot. Let's have a look around and go for a sail! This is one SERIOUS performance catamaran, and yet still one of the most comfortable cats we've ever been on. Comfort and performance...what should we do with it? How about a...
Confidence comes from knowing where the limits are. This week we push the Outremer 55 hard in strong winds to see what the boat can take. We have professionals aboard in case something goes wrong in a hurry. Will we be ready to cross the Atlantic in a coup...
A ton of work to do in the final days before departure from France aboard the beautiful Outremer 55, Moonshot. It was a team effort as the crew from Outremer Catamarans burned the midnight oil to get us off the dock on time.
⛵️ FOR BEHIND THE SCENES ...
Sadly we're no longer aboard the Outremer 55 Moonshot. Deadlines and destinations do not mix well aboard a cruising boat. We're going to shift gears to hopefully make everyone happy.
Are performance cruising catamarans like the Outremer or Balance or HH more comfortable at sea than a slower, heavier cat like a Leopard, Lagoon, or Fountain Pajot? I give you my opinions on that, from part way across the Atlantic Ocean.
⛵️ FOR BEHIN...
I won't sail open water without some very specific equipment aboard this Outremer 55 catamaran. Plus I give a tour/explaination of our B&G navigation equipment.
