2024 OUTREMER 55 “KUMA” — CARBON-RIGGED, FULLY-OPTIONED BLUEWATER PERFORMANCE CATAMARANOutremer has spent more than 35 years building offshore catamarans that get their crews to the anchorage faster, and in greater safety, than almost anything else afloat. The current Outremer 55 — drawn by VPLP with exterior styling by Patrick Le Quément — was named European Yacht of the Year in 2022. Fully retractable daggerboards give her genuine upwind performance while also allowing her to slip into shoal anchorages with the boards up. The hull and rig are engineered to match wind speed up to roughly 12 knots, meaning she sails when other cruisers are motoring. This is the Outremer philosophy made concrete: sail more, motor less, arrive sooner.KUMA is set up for serious ocean living. The Owner’s Version layout and generous guest cabins incorporate diesel heating and reverse-cycle air conditioning throughout for genuine four-season, any-latitude comfort. The galley carries a Corian island, electric cooking, a dedicated freezer, an ice maker, and a Seagull-filtered drinking-water tap; a 220V washing machine handles the laundry. Convertible tables in both the saloon and the cockpit drop to form additional berths along with the optional pilot berth, and foredeck and trampoline lounging areas open up the whole platform when the anchor is down.KUMA is an exceptional example of this model.
