Characteristics
A redesigned Helm station
The Outremer 48 benefits from the same helm system as its larger siblings, the Outremer 52 and 55: the tiller can pivot into four different positions, adapting to your sailing style and the conditions. The exceptional visibility from the cockpit’s protection ensures perfect control in all conditions. Plus, the double-facing seat allows for comfortable watch shifts for two, while enjoying the sunset.
A perfectly Clear view
With 360° visibility from both the saloon and cockpit, you’ll always have an exceptional view of the water and your surroundings, enhancing onboard comfort. Whether you are seated or standing, inside or outside, visibility is perfect aboard the Outremer 48. No need to climb on deck to scan the horizon. Night watches have never been so comfortable as they are from the chart table!
A Catamaran that Adapts to your Needs
10 different layouts are possible! The space in the port forward cabin can be adapted to your needs, with 5 possible choices. Single, double or triple cabin, office or convertible workshop, dressing room or children’s cabin… The Outremer 48 can do everything to suit you.
Unparalleled Accessibility
The low boom allows easy access to the mainsail, lowers the sail plan’s center of gravity, and optimizes both performance and comfort at sea. The coachroof is easily accessible with two steps near the mast, enabling even younger crew members to take part in maneuvers under the watchful eye of the skipper. When it’s time to reef or stow the sail, there’s no acrobatics required, you’ll stay safe at all times.
