2021 Marsaudon Composites ORC 50

The ORC 50 is a fast cruising catamaran built on a reputation for blending performance and seaworthiness. Lightweight construction and generous sail plan deliver distinctive handling through its tiller steering, while the 51.84-foot hull provides ample volume and comfort. This boat balances racing pedigree with genuine cruising capability—a rare quality in multihulls.

The owner's version features custom interior arrangements finished in warm woodwork, creating an inviting living space without compromising the boat's performance character. Carbon components throughout—rotating mast, crossbeams, cabin roof, bulkheads, daggerboards, and rudder—ensure both lightness and rigidity. The sail wardrobe is comprehensive: mainsail, genoa, and Solent Incidence in DFI, plus asymmetric spinnaker, gennaker, Code 0 in Kevlar, and staysail.

Electronics and systems match the yacht's overall specification. Raymarine navigation suite with Upside Up system handles passage making. Power management includes 990 watts of solar panels, four 160-amp lithium batteries, a 2000-watt Victron inverter, and Wallas Viking diesel heating. Twin Yanmar 80-horsepower diesel engines provide auxiliary propulsion.

Built in 2021 and delivered in early 2022, hull number 14 in the series, this catamaran has completed a sailing program and is ready for sea.
