About the OUTREMER 49
Replaced by the Outremer 51 in 2013.
The Outremer 49 is a high-performance catamaran designed by Barreau/Neuman and built by Outremer in France between 2010 and 2012. With a displacement of 22000.0 lb and a beam of 24.44 ft, this model represents a specific production run that balances speed with cruising comfort, though the exact number of hulls built is not specified in the source data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and short-to-medium range bluewater passages who prioritize speed and modern amenities, as evidenced by the high prevalence of solar panel, watermaker, and electronics upgrades in the owner reports.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 3.49 and a displacement of 22000.0 lb, the Outremer 49 demonstrates strong offshore stability, but its bluewater readiness is heavily dependent on addressing critical structural vulnerabilities in the rudder systems and deck cores.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Lagoon 450 and Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42, which offer similar beam and displacement characteristics for the same era, though the Outremer 49 distinguishes itself with a more performance-oriented hull form and fractional sloop rig.
