New distributor for Outremer

Multihull Central has officially become the new exclusive distributor for Outremer Catamarans in Australia, selling all three production models including the 2013 European Boat of the Year, the Outremer 5X (59ft), plus the new Outremer 51and the new Outremer 45.

Having just competed in the Outremer Cup near the company's home port of La Grande Motte in the south of France, Multihull Central's Director Brent Vaughan and Senior Sales Representative Andrew Crawford gained a detailed insight into the performance, layout configurations and construction techniques that Outremer offers on all three models.

"I was very impressed with the strong commitment to performance and lightweight construction the company has adopted," said Brent Vaughan. "It's very easy for manufacturers that start with a high-performance design to get seduced into loading their boats up with creature comforts and giving in to demand for volume just to appeal to a wider audience, which in turn slows the boat down and it becomes just a regular cruising cat. Outremer however have not compromised and have managed a brilliant balance between performance and modern luxury on all models by keeping weight down, yet still offering a clever and very comfortable cruising platform."

Outremer's famous tiller helm position in addition to the regular wheel steering offers an incredible thrill for sailors that like to put a boat into 'the groove' and feel it respond directly through the rudder. Brent added: "It was such a rush to be steering a 60ft cat at 16 knots on tiller and feel completely in control. These boats are ideal for experienced sailors that appreciate performance."

"We are very pleased to be representing this prestigious brand in Australia, which fits perfectly alongside the Seawind range of catamarans that we also represent," said Brent. "So we can now offer a range of performance and high performance cruising catamarans from 35ft all the way to 59ft, complimented by Australia's only multihull marina and service facility". 

Multihull Central are now offering an attractive demonstration package to the first Outremer sold in Australia, including optional marina berthing, management and coaching in Sydney Harbour. See video "Sailing an Outremer 5X" shot at the Outremer Cup: http://youtu.be/nwuecS2kk8U
