The 2021 Outremer 51 is a high-performance cruising catamaran designed for long-distance ocean sailing. At 51 feet in length with a 24.8-foot beam, the hull is composite construction powered by twin 80-horsepower Volvo Penta diesel engines. The design, by Barreau and Neuman, balances speed and efficiency with the seaworthiness expected of modern ocean-going catamarans.
The deck layout prioritizes offshore sailing with three electric winches to reduce crew demands. The structure incorporates carbon elements in key areas—bulkheads, rotating mast, and compression strut—paired with Kevlar shrouds. The sail plan from Incidence includes working jibs, staysail, Code 0, Code D, and spinnaker. The boat carries 1300 watts of solar panels and a 100 liter-per-hour water maker, core systems for extended independence at sea. B&G electronics provide navigation and instrumentation.
Below, the interior emphasizes practicality and light, with a fifth berth in the forward starboard cabin. The main saloon and cockpit are configured for flexible use in different sea conditions. Heating and air conditioning systems serve comfort across varying climates. The boat has logged fewer than 500 engine hours and shows correspondingly modest wear for its age and use.
