Our 52-foot catamaran, the best of two iconic models

Request information.

Seaworthy and smart for the ultimate cruising experience

The avant-garde, new benchmark for blue-water cruising

The Outremer 52 has been designed based on the observation of the owners’ needs and uses. While performance and safety have always been the basis for the design of Outremer blue water catamarans, simplicity of navigation and quality of life on board are the two essential components that completes the specifications of Outremer teams. Surrounded by the best naval architects (VPLP), and great names in French design (Patrick Le Quément, Darnet Design, Saguez & Partners), the Outremer shipyard has engineered a smart and seaworthy 52-foot catamaran for the ultimate bluewater cruising experience.

Outstanding visibility

Since the performance of a catamaran is largely determined by its weight, ingenuity was required to build the structure of this new model. An innovative technology developed by the Gunboat shipyard (also a member of the Grand Large Yachting Group), has made it possible to reduce the weight of the structure, while maintaining a high level of resistance. This has made it possible to increase the glass surfaces and openings in the boat that allows crews the reassuring benefit from increased visibility during navigation, regardless of their position in the saloon or cockpit.

Whether for ocean crossing, sailing around the world, or along the coast, this 52-foot catamaran will make sailors and their families feel both safe and comfortable on their liveaboard boat.

Improved user experience

This new model has been designed to make life on board easier in all circumstances. While it benefits from the upgrades of the Outremer 55, such as the different helm positions, the front view from the saloon and the helm bench adapted for two people, the Outremer 52 goes even further. The architectural communication between the interior and exterior living spaces allows for better watchkeeping on board: at the bar area in the cockpit, for example, it is possible to have a meal while continuing to keep watch ahead. At night, watches can be taken from the saloon’s bench which was designed in the direction of the navigation.

Inviting space

Everything has been carefully thought out to allow the enjoyment of every aspect of life on board. The Outremer 52 is a blue water cruising catamaran filled with natural light, offering living spaces adapted to long voyages. The common living spaces have been designed to facilitate circulation on board, to extend the feeling of wide-open spaces and to allow for festive moments with family or friends. The full opening of the bay window allows easy circulation and creates a convivial space between the cockpit and the saloon. The kitchen’s work surface is open to the interior and exterior spaces of the catamaran, and will undoubtedly be a privileged place to meet at any time of the day.

Customized and modular interior designs

To meet the very different needs of each catamaran owner, Outremer has designed a modular space called My Free Space. Located in the port forward cabin, this space can cover five different uses:

• a double cabin
• a convertible office with bunk beds
• a modular cabin, with an office convertible into a workshop, a folding bench and numerous storage spaces
• a dressing room
• a child’s cabin

Beyond building your boat, Outremer brings your dreams to life by being by your side at every stage of your project. To always better support you, we have created Outremer Services. This structure, integrated within Grand Large Services is able to meet all your needs, from the start of your project to the resale of your catamaran.

42ft Catamaran Models Comparisons

We compare the specifications, dimensions, sail area, and pricing on the most popular 42ft catamarans in 2020. The Lagoon 42 , Bali 4.2 , FP Astrea 42 , and Leopard 42 are within a similar price range and dimensions, but there are major differences. Let’s compare apples to apples to see how the match up.

Compare 42ft Catamaran Interior Features

• The Bali 4.2 has all the popular and successful trademarks expected of the Bali catamaran range. It has the huge open platform which provides a convertible indoor/outdoor living space using tilting “garage door” that lifts up into the ceiling. The convertible door is a unique feature on the Bali. When open, it look like a much bigger catamaran. The Bali 4.2 also features a door in the front of the salon that opens up onto the expansive forward cockpit. With the 4.2 Bali has adopted the newer trend of “Jack & Jill” bathrooms in the 4-cabin version which creates more space in the cabins. The big American-style refrigerator is another popular feature especially for families and liveaboards.
• The Lagoon 42 is one of the most popular models for cruising couples. She is a beefy and a very comfortable liveaboard catamaran with an oversized cockpit. The mast is centered in the salon which could be a deal breaker for some, but considering how many L42s we have sold, it does not seem to bother the people who own and adore them. The galley lacks storage, but there is space available to add cabinets and baskets. The cabins are ample with island beds and plenty of storage, particularly the owner’s cabin. It features the “Jack & Jill” bathrooms in the 4-cabin version, a great use of space.
• The Leopard 42 features all the popular and successful trademarks of the hugely successful Leopard 50. Like its big sister, it features the opening door to an intimate forward cockpit. The semi-raised helm station and “upper lounge area” is a very well done and a great feature for cruisers. It is luxuriously finished and all bunks are island berths that allow access from both sides. The forward-facing galley is well-designed.
• The Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 is plush and comfortable catamaran with a well-appointed galley and sliding doors that open the salon up to the very big cockpit. The cabins are a nicely sized and spacious with island beds.

What are your thoughts?

The Bali 4.2 and Leopard 42 models are brand new and not actually built yet while the Lagoon 42 and FP Astrea 42 models have been around for a few years now and both are very popular models for cruising couples. So how will the two newbies stack up?

4 thoughts on “42ft Catamaran Models Comparisons”

I have two specs that I would like to see on all four of these. The first is holding tank capacity. I find the holding tank capacity on most boats insufficient for live aboards. The other is air draft. The 42 foot and below range are ones that in the Southern US we have bridge anxiety. I would like to know if any of these have an ICW friendly mast option and what the height is.

Jay thank you for the comments! They are all good questions. We will have a good spec sheet and hopefully all the answers you may have during our Zoom Bali discussion on August 27th. Join our newsletter to receive a notice about the Zoom discussion in your mailbox.

Thanks for the comparison chart… It’s a great start!

In addition to Jay’s request… I would like to see some sort of price/performance/construction comparison too.

I’ve been a mono-hull sailor and live-aboard all of my life, but really am a novice with catamarans. I’m fairly familiar with the Leopard 44, having chartered them several times and really like them. I’m anxious to find out about what else is out there so I can make the best decision possible for my next boat. I’m really interested in a cat because I feel like I can sail a catamaran further into my later years then a mono hull.

Ron, I suggest you join the Bali Discussion if you can on the 27th of August [2020] on Zoom. Many of these questions will be answered during that discussion. As regards to your question about “price/performance/construction comparison” – I am not too sure what you want to know. I have added base prices in the comparison charts for all the models. The weight vs sail area (power) has some impact of course but for hulls of similar water length and hull shapes as these models have, performance for all four models will be similar, give or take a knot or so.

• Catamaran 26

Additional Models

Following a range of successful models that were designed by Morrelli & Melvin (the original 62, then the 48 and the Gunboat 66 ), Peter Johnstone, the original Gunboat founder before Grand Large Yachting days, turned to British record breaking yacht Designer Nigel Irens for the next cat to come out of the GB bag: the Gunboat 60 .

This design was quite an evolutionary step for the famous marque, with a more curvaceous look, a hull chine, axe bows and big near vertical wrap around windows for 360 degree views. 60 foot is the sweet spot for a smooth ride, plenty of living space and  300+ miles daily passages in good conditions. Not many boats can pull off those kinds of miles in the day. The O-Yachts Class 6 catamaran comes to mind, and HH catamarans, but Gunboat was bossing this market segment first.

Photo credit Instagram: @oliver_bzh, @_a_l_a_i_a_, @sophie_bre_voyage

This is the key section for Gunboat owners isn’t it? Gunboats are all about speed, and Nigel Irens doesn’t disappoint with his Gunboat 60 design. You will be sailing at true wind speed and even over in lighter airs and she pinches close to the wind if needed (40 degrees TWA is not an issue on these boats). If you have spent this kind of money on a boat, the chances are that you will have a full sail locker with a Code 0 to do the work upwind in lighter airs and a Gennaker to fly off the wind, not to mention a range of sails inbetween.

When the breeze fills in, you will comfortably hitting double digits in knots and sailed to her full potential she will sit in the twenties, but you will need to be alert and on your toes. 300-mile days are your target in good conditions. This is the kind of performance that has inspired other manufacturers such as Balance Catamarans and Kinetic to name a few.

The Gunboat record is over 400.

And there are plenty of safety features on the 60 to help you manage all of this power. Digital load sensors monitor the stresses on the rig in real time and, if you are not the kind of sailor who relishes flying a hull in a multi-million dollar yacht, you can program the system to automatically release the sheets on the mainsheet and the headsail when rig loads hits a limit.

Even so, the Gunboat 60 is not designed to be sailed by a novice. You will need some serious miles under your belt before you slip into the helm seat, or employ a seasoned captain

As with all Gunboats, the construction was high end racing yacht quality. The hull laminate is carbon fiber set in epoxy resin, fully infused and post-cured over a CoreCell foam core. All the fittings and components inside are foam-cored and skinned with wood veneers to keep the weight off and the look luxurious. The rig is carbon with a Marstrom rotating wing-section mast and aramid fiber rigging. All the Furling gear was sourced from Facnor.

One big design change from previous models was the installation of carbon centerboards instead of daggerboards. This makes for a safer structure along with carbon retractable rudders, which are retractable. The centerboards are operated with by hydraulic rams and fitted with shear pins that allow the boards to kick up in the event of a grounding.

The narrow hulls slice through the water and she sports a high bridgedeck, and nothing forward of the mast except the nets and a long carbon bowsprit. The hulls and bridgedeck are constructed in one mold, and there is no forward beam.

The Gunboat 60 is set up with the forward cockpit that has proven so popular with owners: just behind the mast and forward of the saloon. , All working lines come into this space and are managed by a set of three Lewmar winches. She’s set up to sail with a short handed crew. You helm on one of two Edson carbon wheels : one outside and one inside. Take your pick according to the conditions and weather.

From the Saloon wheel, you can see the headsail telltales and the mainsail above through two deck hatches. The mainsheet is managed from here or dumped with a big safety one button if you feel the boat starting to become overpowered. The nav station is tucked neatly forward on the starboard side with a plotter and autopilot in front of the wheel as well.

Behind the helm position, the cockpit opens aft into a large, comfortable, open space with sofas, tables, and a window through to the galley on the port side. There’s an electric barbecue aft.

Despite the fact that this is a 60 foot boat, the living accommodation is not huge (there’s a trade off for all of that speed), but it is hardly cramped either and luxuriously fitted. The layout is normally four double-berth staterooms, plus a crew cabin forward to port with two single berths. This space is sometimes configured as an office or workspace.  The berths in the midship staterooms are athwartships, and aft, the berths are smaller and run along the hulls. There is plenty of light down below through hull ports and deck hatches.

Large, near vertical windows enclose the saloon, with the galley to port and dining area to starboard. Once you have the two windows and all of the doors open at anchor, the breeze flows though – one of the defining designs of most Gunboats. There’s plenty of working space in the galley with all of the mod cons that you’d expect on a luxury performance catamaran.

Many Gunboat 60s were designed to leave a small footprint when under power with a hybrid propulsion system. Optional electric motors turn the propellers on retractable sail drive legs powered by a large lithium-ion battery pack. These are charged by solar and the props when you are sailing. There are a pair of generators for backup.

Many of the Gunboat 60s, such as Moonwave, have further developed the power system over the years.

The boat motors up to 9 knots for around half an hour before the generators kick in. If you are just using the engines to get in and out of marinas, you will have considerably longer on battery power alone. The idea, of course, is to get the sails up as quick as possible. In anything over 4 knots of wind, you should be sailing.

Fast Boat to China

In a bid to reduce manufacturing costs, Peter Johnstone moved production of the Gunboats from South Africa to Hudson Marine in China. The relationship turned sour following multiple warranty claims on the boats, which were mostly do do with the new centreboard design. Johnstone accused Hudson Wang of sub standard manufacturing quality, and Wang counter sued claiming that the problem was with the original design. It is not unheard of to go through these issues with new boat designs, especially at this kind of high tech level. The problems were eventually resolved, but the damage was gone and the 2 parties fell out over the issue.

Johnstone moved production for his next model, the 55, to the US and later ran into financial difficulties while Hudson Wang ended up launching a performance catamaran brand of his own.

Gunboat 60s – Where Are They Now?

60-02 Flow Flow caught on fire in Badalona near Barcelona in May 2023 and was written off. Not good news.

How Much Does a Gunboat 60 cost? What is the Price Ticket? Gunboat 60s are no longer in production, so you will need to buy second hand to get your hands on one. There aren’t many, and they hold their price, as do most Gunboats. When they were launched, the list price was around $2.5m. You’ll still likely pay up to $2m for one today.

What Happened Between Gunboat and Hudson Marine? Gunboat International, the North Carolina yard, sued the Chinese yard accusing the builder of not finishing the build properly on the Gunboat 60s and that the yard refused to pay warranty claims on constructed yachts they claimed weren’t built properly. Hudson Yacht and Marine Industries denied the allegations and then countersued Gunboat, saying that design flaws, not builder error, led to the warranty claims and that it was not contractually obliged to fix mistakes that were a result of the design. In the end Gunboat picked up the repair tab (some $10m) and then tried to terminate the contract with HYM. However, the Chinese yard refused to return the molds and tooling, according to Peter Johnstone. Johnstone then accused the company and its owner, Hudson Wang, of launching a “knockoff brand” of carbon fiber performance catamarans onto the market despite signing a non-compete contract.

What Was the Cause of the Dispute? Most of the problems came from the centreboard design, which was new to the market at the time. There were also problems with the hydraulic propeller system (or “skeg system”). Gunboat also accused Hudson of “deliberately, willfully and maliciously obtaining Gunboat’s trade secrets with the intention of utilizing said trade secrets in connection with, and incorporating them into, the competing HH Catamaran 55 and 66 series, and HYM and Wang did, in fact, appropriate and utilize said trade secrets for their own benefit and profit.”

Safe to say that this is all water under the bridge now. The Gunboat brand was sold to Grand Large Yachting who now manufacture the 68, a completely different design developed by VPLP. And yes, HH still market the 55 and 66, 2 boats designed by Morrelli and Melvin who designed the earlier Gunboats. It’s a small sailing world.
