French catamaran specialist Outremer launched the 4X in 2016, building on decades of experience crafting performance cruising multihulls. Designed by the respected Barreau & Neuman team, this 48-foot catamaran represents the builder's commitment to combining serious offshore capability with comfortable cruising amenities. At 23.5 feet of beam, the 4X offers the spacious living areas that make catamarans popular among cruising sailors, while the relatively deep 7.08-foot draft suggests daggerboards that can be adjusted for optimal performance and shallow-water access. The fractional sloop rig and impressive sail-area-to-displacement ratio of 31.12 indicate this is a catamaran designed to move efficiently in light airs—a crucial advantage for extended offshore passages. Outremer's reputation for building robust, ocean-capable multihulls makes the 4X well-suited for serious blue-water cruising. The fiberglass construction and moderate displacement of just over 18,000 pounds reflect modern catamaran design principles that prioritize performance without sacrificing structural integrity. With 1,335 square feet of sail area driving the hull efficiently through the water, owners can expect respectable passage times while enjoying the stability and comfort that make catamarans increasingly popular for long-distance cruising and liveaboard applications.
