The Outremer 51
You can visit the Outremer 51 on the Outremer website, there is a 360 view of the cockpit, saloon and cabin.
The outremer 51 is a production catamaran, but the boatyard offers a long list of options to tailor the boat to the customer’s program.
The main options that we have chosen for Moby are:
- 4 cabins version, so that the 3 kids get their own space
- Structural bulkheads in carbon fiber to reduce weight and enhance structural rigidity
- Electrical system with lithium batteries, hydrogenerator and solar panels
- LORIMA high modulus Carbon fiber rotating mast and kevlar shrouds
- Hydranet for the mainsail and the self-tacking solent by Incidences
- Gennaker, assymetrical spinnaker and code zero by Incidences
- And of course the 2 carbon tillers, inevitable signature of modern Outremer

Last visit to Outremer before launching Moby
On my way between Brest and Frankfurt via Paris, I’ve decided to hop to La Grande Motte to check the progress on the building of Moby.
At this stage more than 90% of the work is done, and Greg’s team is busy finishing the interior. Most of the deckware has been fitted, including the bimini. The only thing that has not been installed is the cockpit table, and it’s mainly because we have ordered a custom « convertible »table.
Here are today’s pictures…

Les enfants visitent le chantier
Pendant les vacances de la Toussaint, j’ai emmené les enfants visiter le chantier, voir les différentes étapes de la construction de MOBY. Ils ont pu voir leurs cabines!
Arthur devant sa cabine, avant bâbord 
les garçons intrigués par le saildrive 
Victor dans sa cabine, arrière bâbord En nous promenant sur les pontons, nous avons aperçu Crazy Louise, le bateau de Laurent, Nicole, Jules et Max, sur lequel nous avons navigué au Panama pendant 2 semaines en Novembre 2015. Nous sommes un peu émus : après leur 2 années de périple Atlantique, il vient d’être vendu, puisque nos cousins sont partis vivre au Canada!

Moins de 6 mois après la mise en chantier, notre Outremer 51 a fière allure!
Les différentes équipes s’attellent à l’implantation des systèmes et à la pose de l’accastillage. La mise à l’eau est prévue fin novembre.
