Designed to be sailed short-handed, the Outremer 51 has been optimised both in the ergonomics

The Outremer 51 was designed from the start to be sailed short handed.  Finger-tip steering whether at the wheel, at the tillers or inside at the nav station makes the Outremer a delight to sail. It’s a sailors’ boat.  In lighter winds, while others motor, the Outremer keeps sailing.  Cruising monohulls and “condomarans” make average cruising speeds in the six knots range. Larger boats, perhaps 50 - 60foot and over will average up to eight knots range, enough to get you there.  However, while others are making six to eight knots, the Outremer 51 is comfortably sailing 30% to 50% faster - we know, we’ve done it and we’ve measured it.  That difference gets you to your destination earlier. It makes it possible to make longer “day-hops” and be anchored while the slow guys are still out in the dark.  When you add offwind surfing at fifteen to twenty knots and more, long days get shorter.  Above all, it’s just good, fast, high-octane fun. And you won’t even spill your tea!
