Why we changed from Cruising to Performance Catamaran – Sailing Greatcircle (ep. 206)

Launching Outremer 51 “Spekeend” – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.201)
The new 51 of another Dutch couple, Marc and Mirella, is launched during our stay in La Grande Motte and of course we're there to watch. I'll leave it to them to explain why they call their boat the FAT DUCK, as it looks pretty lean and mean to me ..... I...
First sail on the Outremer 55 – Sailing Greatcircle (EP.200)
It involved begging and trying to behave a bit but it worked : we were invited to sail along on the NEW Outremer 55 #1 on a beautiful Sunday. Always a bit scary when you buy a boat from paper only but very satisfying if the actual result meets your hopes a...

Sir Hindrik too – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.194)
I know it doesn't have sails ... But if we have to be on a motor ship it might as well be this one! The interior is a bit, how to say this politely, calvinistic and pre-modern-minimalistic but if our friends will go through with this that will be dealt wit...
