Outremer 50-55

[drewke07]

yes freetime,

Thats the one. There were only 2 built to my knowledge. The only cats that have sailed past us have been one Gunboat 62 while we were in the Caribbean. A great compromise between speed and comfort. Our interior living space is however not much larger than the Moorings 45 / 47.

It looks very good. Any link to more info on this...?

There is a 50s for sale in the DR that is used for charter. Maybe an excellent chance to try before you buy?

I noticed the diagram on the boat for sale does show a generator on board.

Reviving this old thread as we may be changing plans from a coastal cruise to the Sea of Cortez to a voyage across the Pacific. So my pearl (little Seawind) may need to go and this is tops of our list. Still from all the pictures I have seen don't have a great sense of the feel down in the hulls but seems like a salty and fast cat. Best of all my wife has given the OK!
