Outremer 52 voted multihull of the year at British Yachting Awards 2023

Spirits and glasses were raised high as the Outremer team collected Multihull of the Year award for their latest Outremer 52 model at the British Yachting Awards yesterday in London at The Royal Thames Yacht Club. Elected by public vote alone, the 52’ was one of five contenders in the multihull category.

The Outremer 52 combines the signature features of the legendary 51 – to which it is successor - with the fresh look and feel of the 55, which won European Yacht of the Year award in 2022. This merging of design elements has resulted in a yacht that stands out as a true masterpiece in the world of sailing. The involvement of renowned names in the industry, such as the naval architects VPLP and the French designers Patrick Le Quément, Darnet Design, has contributed to a design that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional and well-engineered.

Drawing inspiration from its predecessors, the Outremer 52 preserves the qualities that have made the brand so beloved among sailors while introducing new elements to enhance the overall experience. One of the standout features of the Outremer 52 model is its seaworthiness. The naval architects and designers have worked tirelessly to create a vessel that can handle even the most challenging bluewater cruising conditions. Whether crossing oceans or leisurely exploring coastal waters, this yacht offers a safe and comfortable experience for its owners.
