A SAIL PLAN TYPICAL OF RACING AND CRUISING

Genoa and staysail: the preferred configuration for discerning sailors.
To achieve optimal performance in light airs while maintaining maximum efficiency in heavy weather, few sail plans rival the genoa and staysail combination. Although this setup requires more active sail handling—managing tacks and deploying the removable forestay to hoist the staysail—the reward is a finely balanced, highly adaptable sail plan. For sailors who value control, performance, and precision, the additional effort is more than justified. The Outremer 4X is designed as a high-performance cruising catamaran, offering the perfect balance between speed, control and comfort. Its efficient sail plan supports both relaxed offshore cruising and more dynamic racing-style sailing. Built for sailors who want performance without compromising safety, the 4X delivers responsive handling across a wide range of conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for long-distance bluewater cruising, coastal adventures and owners who enjoy a more active sailing experience.

STRUCTURAL WEIGHT GAINS

Constructed with an increased use of carbon in its key structural components—mast, bulkheads, compression beam, mast step, bimini, and more—the yacht achieves significant additional weight savings through meticulous attention to detail. Despite carrying more comprehensive deck hardware, the 4X registers 500 kg less on the scales than the 45’. The result is a lighter platform with noticeably sharper, more responsive acceleration. The Outremer 4X benefits from lightweight construction that enhances speed, efficiency and overall sailing performance. By reducing unnecessary weight, the catamaran becomes more responsive, easier to handle and more efficient under sail. This thoughtful design approach also supports better fuel economy and improved stability during long passages. For owners seeking a fast bluewater cruising catamaran, the Outremer 4X offers strength, durability and performance in one refined package.

AN EXCELLENT LEVEL OF COMFORT

Simple, lightweight fittings are paired with the same high standard of finish. To reduce weight, solutions such as replacing doors and certain shelves with fabric structures secured by zippers or discreet magnetic closures are proposed. These choices are both practical and efficient, without compromising functionality. Storage capacity remains unchanged, and while some Corian countertops are replaced with lighter composite materials, the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail is maintained throughout. Inside, the Outremer 4X offers a spacious and practical layout designed for extended cruising and liveaboard comfort. The cabins, saloon and storage areas are arranged to make life onboard easy, comfortable and functional during long journeys. Natural light, smart ventilation and quality finishes help create a welcoming interior environment. Whether sailing offshore or relaxing at anchor, the Outremer 4X provides the comfort expected from a premium performance cruising catamaran.
