You have considered every aspect of this boat to set it up for long and comfortable sailing trips in perfect style. The detail in this yacht is immaculate. Well done, and what a way to see the world!
BEATIFUL,,,just beauty! Am an old fisherman here, am getting to my twilight years now, but when I follow your channel and others, I feel like am with you, but only in my dreams, I miss the sea so bad, but don't have a way to go to sea. So just know that I'm following you and wishing one day I could sail or go on a wonderful vessel like yours.
QWayne,I am in my 69th year and still commercial fishing.The sea is in our blood forever,I would waste away if not able to still be at sea.Come down to New Zealand and I will gladly take you out in Cook Strait,notorious for some foul weather.
Weather , hmmm, love a nice force 12 ..huh..of course it's really snotty and not nice to work in ,but if your working with" fixed gear " , it was a pleasure to work in by using the motion of the ocean to move our gear whilst it was on deck and we would be moving it a few way points..Love watching a huge broaching wave ahead of our boat, the average person just doesn't realize how beautiful..huh Capt!!
in case i got it wrong, i go back to english i enjoyed the sights and sounds and you explain just right, you have a unique life and Best wishes to you, and peace
This is very interesting and thanks for posting it. I'm quite interested in the forthcoming O52 so don't be surprised if I steal a few of your ideas for myself!!...
Thank you so much for showing me the boat and for the beer. It is truly a beautiful and thought through boat with a wonderful atmosphere. I left LGM the same day in the search of wind and went to Sardinia. My plans are getting more clear about the next episode of my life. Have a great start for your trip next month and I will keep in touch with you if things go in direction boat. Great having met you. Best wishes
Hi, we saw all your video great job make us sail with you. Congratulations for GreatCircle a truly beautiful long distance cat. Safe travelling will be following you all the way. Montrèal Canada
Thank you for your very thorough tour of your beautiful boat. The spaces and systems appear to work well and the appointments are really well thought out and the build quality by Outremer appears to be very good. You really have a good understanding of where components are and any redundancies. This has been very informative. I will be a very interested viewer. Thank you again for the under the skin tour.

LOL before you show take 2 I am thinking: Marijke will notice the pillows right away but I missed the shoes :) You guys build a masterpiece, beautiful wave slicer.
Wat een prachtige boot. Schitterend. Reserve watermaker en helemaal geweldig is de reserve autopilot los van alle systemen. Briljant en er spreekt erg veel ervaring uit. Groet van een Cat Zeiler uit Fort Lauderdale Florida
You just have to go. There will never be a perfect time. Remembering that I could come back if it didn’t work out is what helped me pull the trigger. You’ll never regret it. 😁😊😉
Thank you very much for such a complete view of your boat. The only thing on a safety note is that with the escape hatches on a number of vessels on youtube have had major leak problems. Seawind on a number of vessels now are installing straight windows with safety glass but install next the windows a glass breaking hammer. Thought you may want to change before it is to late
Forget two comments, beautiful Ultra anchor, you have not mentioned anything on how your are gone stay in contact, internet, wile sailing around. We would also like you to explained how you film with the drones, material… Very well done. Montrèal, Canada
Awesome video again…even without the wife😎 After all the videos , Outremer should upgrade you in 4-5 years to your own Gunboat… just imagine about the videos we could watch😜😜
I am not an expert but don’t you need a gaz or diesel heater to have an on demand hot water function? We haven’t looked into it as for us the water heater will probably be on most of the time as we have the genset as backup
Terrific tour, thank you. USB chargers everywhere - convenient ( I have them all over my house as well). However... my Anker battery once got wet at the connector while it was plugged into my iPhone - it started to heat up, melted parts around the connector. Still works, but could've caused a fire. Perhaps part of a captain's briefing to new crew/guests should include: be careful with your devices. If they get wet - do not plug them in. Of course I'm not an electrical engineer - just a busy body. Commercial airlines I've read have metal fire boxes to place devices into if they start to overheat. Perhaps one of these, or a kitchen pot? If in a few years you see me on a 55, Outremer owes you and Marjike a referral fee.
We call your metal box “oven” or “Miele”, she listens to both. And yes I agree, send Matthieu or Xavier a message. But a symbolic fee is ok as well as it is easy to show happiness when you’re happy
The Outremer 55 looks like the perfect trade off between performance and comfort - big enough for comfort and while being a fast performer. Your choices and addition is just outstanding. Two questions/areas I would like your take on: 1) How to you find the new helm solution ? Which one to you prefer in what conditions ? I like the Balance 526 helm setup - how do you think the two helm solutions compare? 2) If I understand correctly, displacement is stated as 13.9/18,5 ton. Does this give you "enough" volume/ton for equipment/fuel/water/food/toys without loosing "too much" performance in light wind? Thanks for sharing
1) the helm station on the balance is more protected but leaves only the traditional setup with the small door between cockpit and saloon. Just crossed the Atlantic and for us the current setup works really well 2) the 55 seems much less sensitive for a bit more weight if I compare our speed to the other boats. We’re probably 16 -16,5 fully loaded
What a lovely purpose built boat! I have been wondering what is behind the rationale using fresh water for flushing the toilets? I haven't had any problems with Baltic seawater.
I got this tip from an authorized Bosch installer/repairman and countertop installer. To clean and remove fingerprints from brushed stainless steel spray some WD-40 on a microfiber cloth and swipe back and forth, not vertically or in circles. Buff with a clean microfiber towel, again in side to side motion. Works on stainless steel sinks too and can remove calcium build-up.
We could try that as well but it seems like there’s an issue with a series of Isotherm fridges as all 55’s have the same problem and the freezers from the same brand are all ok
We had a Wingaker on the Lagoon but we didn’t really like it, too vulnerable and no additional speed compared with just wing on wing with main and code 0. On the Outremer we chose an asymmetric spi of similar size and a heavy cloth smaller symmetrical spi
Wow. What a truly fabulous boat. I love it But dare I ask? How much would one of those cost me these days? My FP Antigua 37 was 60,000 quid in 1991 ......
@@CatGreatcircle to be more specific,i will ask the price with ALL the option you already choose,cause i would not change anything :) i,v watch the crossing and then i start backwards now cause i lve what i see :)) so please,how much was yours ? THANK YOU. p.s. also with 2 autopilot cause it was a wize choice.
@@ddddd1666 Outremer lists pricing estimates in their FAQs: "Depending on the level of finish and options chosen: - Outremer 45: From 720 to 800k euros ex-tax -Outremer 4X: From 820 to 900k euros exc-tax - Outremer 51: From 940 to 1,100k euros exc-tax - Outremer 55: From 1,400 to 1,550k euros exc-tax - Outremer 5X: From 1,500 to 1,800k euros exc-tax" So assume 1.55m eur + VAT for a full spec one.
Thanx for that as always, really love the generosity for bringing us along with you. Quick question; What was the thinking behind going with both Raymarine and B & G as opposed to sticking with the same name brand in redundancy? Also if you could elaborate on why B & G over Raymarine when it comes to the plotter and other choices between the two?
We were used to the BandG on our 2 previous boats, so for us it’s fine. We’re not too enthusiastic about their software updates and blackouts but the readability of the screens is really great. We considered taking a second BandG but complete independent systems seemed like a good idea as well and Pochon had good experiences with this one
Hi Mark, Great tour - thank you. Could you have done without the Genset? Since you do have an 12V and 24V Alternator (maybe on both engines?). The alternators coupled with bigger battery (I think you do have 1,5 kWh of Lithiums) might be enough. What do you think? Thank you. Oliver
Thanks for all your videos and to share your experience. What is the reference for the handless audio devices you use during your maneuvers ? (My dad is unfortunately becoming a bit deaf so we use to shout during maneuvers and its not pleasant for everybody) Salutations from Britany :)
Nice informative video. Quick question regarding the B&G setup. I seem to vaguely remember a previous video when you were talking about your navigation choices that you decided on the Nac3 autopilot system instead of the H5000. Why did you end up going for the H5000 setup? Cheers
The H5000 cpu should be slightly faster but our main considerations were regarding a more reliable wind indication and better displays both at the helm and for the autopilot controllers. The wind meter is higher above the top of the mast and can be calibrated in the BandG, both TWA and TWS
As usual I have a couple of questions 🤔 How would you compare the build quality and finish between the old GC and the new GC, things like layout of components, wiring, fit, finish etc Is one better thought out than the other or are they basically on par with each other. Second ( and last ) Is there anything your missing from the old GC ?? As always stay safe and keep having fun - oh and put your shoes away properly next time 😛😛😜😜
Hi Glen, that’s an interesting question as it’s not so easy to answer as you would expect. Build quality has many aspects. In general the Outremer is better build in terms that it is stiffer and all major components are properly laminated together. In terms of finish the Lagoon has improved in the meantime as well. If you look at the interior of the Lagoon 55 it’s way better than the L52 and I would say comparable to the O55.
Wrong button but let’s continue. In some areas the finish of the Lagoon is even way better, for example looking at the teak/Esthec floor, the finish of the engine compartment hatches and the silly setup of the main galley cupboard.
Echt een prachtig schip, zeer informatieve video. Ik heb wel twee vragen: waarom staan er steeds schoenen in beeld?? En waarom liggen de kussens zo rommelig op de sofa??
Both in the saloon and cockpit we chose Esthec. Looks nice, emphasises the idea of one big space. The parts in strong direct sunlight get pretty hot, white lining is supposed to be better in that aspect
That second anchor is just resting in grooves with bungee tie downs, you might want to add a clip on the bottom to stop it bouncing up and down in heavy seas.
Really appreciate your channel and info you share. I am also considering to have Outremer. Do you think there is significant difference in performance between your sails, and Hydranet sails in these boats?
Probably only for very serious sailors, we chose them because they’re black 🤣 You can spend a lot of money on the last details but it won’t be a big difference in enjoying the boat for the average cruiser But in the end if you are able to do the investment the additional depreciation might be very limited
You have to ask them but I met a couple already who had a slot on an improved fully electric Outremer 4.Zero. I do t know whether they’re already willing to do the same on other models
@@CatGreatcircle thank you, Outremer gave me a pretty good pack of information on the 4.zero yes I think the electric options on bigger models probably face some weight/power ratio issues. Also for your followers the HH44 hybrid models are very interesting maximising, it seems the best of both worlds.
With all the luxuries on board you are going to visit some primitive islanders that cook on wood and eat fresh fish. Did Outremer forget the barbeque ??😀😀👍👍
@@CatGreatcirclenow that I am thinking about your gear ..... many cruisers take bicycles on board for shopping and sightseeing. What are your experiences with that? And also I saw cruisers working hard in the heat to bing the supplies on board that they need for the next leg: food and drinks, beers and wines. What are your experiences? How do you organize that ?
Het viel me op dat de stalen kabels van de primaire autopilot erg dicht langs elkaar lopen, mocht daar met de tijd rek in komen en ze gaan elkaar raken heb je een groot probleem. Ik hoop dat het meevalt en het niet zo krap is als dat het lijkt op de video. Die douchekop aan het plafond is de beste optie ooit!!
Die kabels zijn onafhankelijk van de keuze voor de autopilot, moest er ook even aan wennen moet ik eerlijk zeggen maar rek zie ik er niet zo gauw inkomen en zeker niet zoveel dat ze elkaar kunnen raken
@@CatGreatcircle Ok, dan is het goed, met rek bedoel ik niet zoiets als elastiek maar eerder speling, naarmate een systeem gebruikt wordt komt er met de tijd een beetje speling in te zitten.
@@CatGreatcircle It was only a joke, you''ll both settle soon and be able to fully appreciate the beautiful cat you bought. I can imagine the stress prior to the maiden sail and not having set off for good yet. All these little things to solve first. My wife needs to keep an eye on me too :D Good luck both of and GreatCircle.
You mean Victron for the solar panels? No idea why they chose that, in other areas they are pretty much focused on Mastervolt. Does Mastervolt have comparable products? We had the same on our Lagoon
Man sitzt heutzutage anders und genau das wurde goldrichtig erkannt und umgesetzt. Man sieht das auf einem eurer Videos mit Gästen ganz gut, dass nicht alle auf gleicher Ebene sitzen und viel lieber mal auch die Beine hoch, stehend oder alternativ auf Stufen sitzend. Eines allerdings würde ich ändern wollen. Dieser Wasserhahn im Zentrum, ständig vor Augen. Wie empfindet ihr das? Wäre die Spüle nicht besser dort platziert, wo jetzt das Kochfeld ist im Austausch? Dann könnte man auch die Insel ganzflächig nutzen als Ablagefläche. Wie schaut es aus mit der verfügbaren Staufläche, wenn man auf dem Cat lebt? Wäre der Sanitärbereich noch komfortabel genug, bei einer Variante 3+1 Stauraum vorn? Die 55 ist so vielen Belange gerade das Optimum am Markt. Schnell, kommunikativ, elegant. Denke, dieses Model wird den geringsten Preisverlust haben, als alles andere am Markt. Würde man die 55 auch mit E-Antrieb bestellen können? Vielen Dank für eure Videos. Zumindest habt ihr jetzt den weltbesten Arbeitsplatz im Videoschnitt. :-)
Ok ich werde mal versuchen alles zu beantworten. Das mit dem Wasserhahn (tauschen mit dem Kochfeld) ist eine gute Idee aber so funktioniert es eigentlich auch prima. Storage ist genug da aber es gibt auch als Standard Option ein 4 oder 3+1 Kabinen Version
@@CatGreatcircle New boats and cars have the same problem with price depreciation. I hope you got a good deal so you get your money back. Extras and upgrades are not valued highly.

@@CatGreatcircle only thing I’ve heard of as an alternative is cork…. But believe you then have to then deal with it graying.
Super :) Congrats!
That second anchor is just resting in grooves with bungee tie downs, you might want to add a clip on the bottom to stop it bouncing up and down in heavy seas.
Will have a look but so far we haven’t seen circumstances on any of our cats that we felt this could be happening
@@CatGreatcircle new England sailor just used to heavier seas and wave action.
Wonderful video, thank you so much!!
so the table in the saloon lowers to form a lounging area or a bed, OK. But what keeps those two big cushions in place?!
Velcro strips underneath the table
Really appreciate your channel and info you share. I am also considering to have Outremer. Do you think there is significant difference in performance between your sails, and Hydranet sails in these boats?
Probably only for very serious sailors, we chose them because they’re black 🤣
You can spend a lot of money on the last details but it won’t be a big difference in enjoying the boat for the average cruiser
But in the end if you are able to do the investment the additional depreciation might be very limited
😁
Stunning
Hi we are considering Outremer for our new boat. What are your options on Ocean Volt sail drive systems to replace diesel power engines?
You have to ask them but I met a couple already who had a slot on an improved fully electric Outremer 4.Zero.
I do t know whether they’re already willing to do the same on other models
@@CatGreatcircle thank you, Outremer gave me a pretty good pack of information on the 4.zero yes I think the electric options on bigger models probably face some weight/power ratio issues. Also for your followers the HH44 hybrid models are very interesting maximising, it seems the best of both worlds.
Wheel in the cockpit for heavy weather sailing? You did not show that setup.
What brand of Bean Bags are those ? Thank you in advance.
B-bag extreme lounge quilted
@@CatGreatcircle Thank you
I googledthe English meaning of Spekeend and it it came up Bacon Duck. Is the something you put in stompot? 😁
I always call him Fat Duck which is probably more in line with the Dutch meaning. Not the most common name, that’s for sure
Do I have your woerde on that? 🤣
With all the luxuries on board you are going to visit some primitive islanders that cook on wood and eat fresh fish. Did Outremer forget the barbeque ??😀😀👍👍
We had a bbq on the lagoon but sold the boat with the box still intact 🙈
@@CatGreatcirclenow that I am thinking about your gear ..... many cruisers take bicycles on board for shopping and sightseeing. What are your experiences with that? And also I saw cruisers working hard in the heat to bing the supplies on board that they need for the next leg: food and drinks, beers and wines. What are your experiences? How do you organize that ?
Het viel me op dat de stalen kabels van de primaire autopilot erg dicht langs elkaar lopen, mocht daar met de tijd rek in komen en ze gaan elkaar raken heb je een groot probleem. Ik hoop dat het meevalt en het niet zo krap is als dat het lijkt op de video. Die douchekop aan het plafond is de beste optie ooit!!
Die kabels zijn onafhankelijk van de keuze voor de autopilot, moest er ook even aan wennen moet ik eerlijk zeggen maar rek zie ik er niet zo gauw inkomen en zeker niet zoveel dat ze elkaar kunnen raken
@@CatGreatcircle Ok, dan is het goed, met rek bedoel ik niet zoiets als elastiek maar eerder speling, naarmate een systeem gebruikt wordt komt er met de tijd een beetje speling in te zitten.
Thanks for sharing !
Schitterende boot! Zou je nog eens kunnen zeggen hoe je de plotter hebt verbonden aan het grote scherm binnen?
Vanaf 12” heeft de BandG een hdmi out poort,
@@CatGreatcircle Ah, tnx, dat verklaart waarom ik er niet uit kwam!
One day i swear to myself ill sell all my belongings and house buy a boat and sail! been waiting for this one....
No problem to live on board a cat like this so start selling!
Marijke is not in the relax-mode yet :-)
Probably she is but she sees things I don’t see and will never see
Most of the times this is really helpful
@@CatGreatcircle It was only a joke, you''ll both settle soon and be able to fully appreciate the beautiful cat you bought. I can imagine the stress prior to the maiden sail and not having set off for good yet. All these little things to solve first. My wife needs to keep an eye on me too :D Good luck both of and GreatCircle.
Why the mix of Victron and Mastervolt?
You mean Victron for the solar panels? No idea why they chose that, in other areas they are pretty much focused on Mastervolt. Does Mastervolt have comparable products? We had the same on our Lagoon
I think Mastervolt has 2 MPPT controllers with specific profiles for MLIs, would be interested as to their rational....
Me too
Please post when you find out :)
Quanto gasolio avete consumato?...
We use between 2 and 3 liters per hour using only one engine most of the time. The engines have 350 hours in 15 months
@@CatGreatcircle Ottimo consumo....grazie della risposta.....Buon vento.
Man sitzt heutzutage anders und genau das wurde goldrichtig erkannt und umgesetzt. Man sieht das auf einem eurer Videos mit Gästen ganz gut, dass nicht alle auf gleicher Ebene sitzen und viel lieber mal auch die Beine hoch, stehend oder alternativ auf Stufen sitzend. Eines allerdings würde ich ändern wollen. Dieser Wasserhahn im Zentrum, ständig vor Augen. Wie empfindet ihr das? Wäre die Spüle nicht besser dort platziert, wo jetzt das Kochfeld ist im Austausch? Dann könnte man auch die Insel ganzflächig nutzen als Ablagefläche. Wie schaut es aus mit der verfügbaren Staufläche, wenn man auf dem Cat lebt? Wäre der Sanitärbereich noch komfortabel genug, bei einer Variante 3+1 Stauraum vorn? Die 55 ist so vielen Belange gerade das Optimum am Markt. Schnell, kommunikativ, elegant. Denke, dieses Model wird den geringsten Preisverlust haben, als alles andere am Markt. Würde man die 55 auch mit E-Antrieb bestellen können? Vielen Dank für eure Videos. Zumindest habt ihr jetzt den weltbesten Arbeitsplatz im Videoschnitt. :-)
Ok ich werde mal versuchen alles zu beantworten. Das mit dem Wasserhahn (tauschen mit dem Kochfeld) ist eine gute Idee aber so funktioniert es eigentlich auch prima.
Storage ist genug da aber es gibt auch als Standard Option ein 4 oder 3+1 Kabinen Version
Mit E-Antrieb musste möglich sein, Aventura Zero wird auch in Cannes dargestellt in 2 Wochen
Looks good..
Is something wrong with your mic ? We could not hear anything properly...
Yes maybe, it won’t let me adjust the recording volume
@@CatGreatcircle Oh NOoooooo....
That's a lot of tech which is not cheap. So what was the final price and how did you manage to afford it?
What is cheap or not will be determined when we deliver her to the next owner. Feeling pretty optimistic about that so don’t spoil it
@@CatGreatcircle New boats and cars have the same problem with price depreciation. I hope you got a good deal so you get your money back. Extras and upgrades are not valued highly.
As I See you need a Garcia explocat 52.
Nice cat as well
