Marsaudon Composites ORC57
If you are buying a catamaran, you have one main decision to make. Do you want performance on the water and a boat that will get you from A to B quickly (and out of trouble if you need to), or do you want more living space to maximise comfort levels while at anchor?
On one end of the scale are the Lagoons, the Leopards and the Sunreefs (if you decide to go up the luxury scale in the case of the final brand). And in the speed section are Marsaudon Composites, Dazcats and Gunboat (again if you decide to go the luxury route in the case of the latter). And, of course, there are many other brands that fill in the spaces in between.
Marsaudon Composites is firmly positioned on the speed axis: a performance catamaran manufacturer that wins races. But they also make comfortable boats that sail with a smooth ride, and none more so than their flagship the ORC57 which has been inspired by catamarans such as the Gunboat 60 and the Outremer 5X.

As Marsaudon’s marketing says, the Ocean Rider Catamarans range are true sailing machines. This boat will be competing in a white hot market against the likes of the O-Yachts Class 6 and the HH55.
The 57 footer has been designed by Marc Lombard who also designs boats for Nautitech and Privilege, so he’s well known in this corner of France: L’Orient. He has done a great job in expanding the range from the smaller 42 and 50 footers that were designed by Christophe Barreau. You can see that he has taken inspiration from the smaller models’ fluid and sporty lines.
The design inspiration has come from the likes of Lotus and the classic 1967 Ford Mustang: form through function. This is a real “muscle cat”.
At just 11.3 tonnes light weight, this catamaran is a serious mover. She’s just over 18m long and carries a 108 m² mainsail and an 81 m² Genoa (J1)
There’s a choice of double tillers for direct steering like you will see on the smaller boats or twin aft wheels for helms.
The standard mast and boom are aluminium, but they have used carbon on the cross beam and bowsprit. There are options for carbon upgrades everywhere of course.
The ORC57 is a powerful machine, but she’s been set up for a short-handed crew. There are 8 winches to help you manage the sails: 2 dedicated mainsheet winches, plus winches for the genoa and daggerboard lines. There are plenty of handrails on the roof for safety (8) and a crash box in each bow with watertight bulkheads.
Living Space
Down below in the standard version are 2 spacious, light aft cabins (200cm x 200cm beds), 2 heads and 2 queen sized forward cabins (200cm x 160com beds).
The finish is what we would call “industrial chic” with luxury touches. Everything has been optimised for weight reduction. So down below, for example, the floor panels are carbon and the sides in the interior are merely painted with aspects to warm the design up. It’s very effective and pretty cool.
This is one sleek looking catamaran and she is priced very competitively for this market. The ORC 57 is a light, fast sailing catamaran. The design mantra was “Keep it simple and keep it light”. She’s one helluva machine.
FAQs Marsaudon ORCC57 Catamaran
How much is an ORC57? The standard configuration is priced at just under €1.1m, launched and rigged in L’Orient. Of course, there are plenty of extras that you can add onto this, but still, this catamaran is competitively priced in this market against the likes of HH, Dazcat and even Outremer

Preview: ORC 57 performance cruising catamaran
- Toby Heppell
- June 3, 2021
Marsaudon Composites has announced a new multihull in the ORC 57 alongside which the company has announced a rebranding of their range, now all of which will be known as Ocean Rider Catamarans (or ORC)
Marsaudon Composites has built an enthusiastic following for its TS42 and TS50 catamarans since the smaller boat was launched six years ago. Now they are adding a new design to their range, the ORC 57.
The ORC 57 will follow in the footsteps of her predecessors, offering a tiller steered performance multihull – though this time at c.60ft LOA.
The yard is based at Lorient La Base, at the heart of the French offshore racing scene, so it’s perhaps no surprise these designs are lightweight and have more than a nod towards the performance end of the sailing spectrum.
The direct tiller steering on both previous moles is an example of the thinking that sets these boats apart from other multihulls and makes them sought after models. Yet they also have enough space both on deck and below to offer very comfortable living.
Having seen success with their first two cats, the French marque is now launching the new 57-footer, the ORC 57, which comes from the pen of designer, Marc Lombard. It shares the same hallmarks as the existing models, although a wheel steering option will also be offered.
In suitable conditions this is a cruising yacht that can be expected to hit speeds of well over 20 knots.
The hull shape of the ORC 57 is clearly a progression from the earlier models, while following the same light displacement principles with fine hull shapes. Lombard drew a new shape for the bows to increase efficiency and reduce the tendency for bow-down trim.
The additional size makes the interior spaces of this boat significantly larger than those of the 50-footer, especially in the hulls. Much thought has also gone into ergonomics and weight saving, stripping out and simplifying anything that is not essential. CEO Damien Cailliau likes to draw on a quote from Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus Cars: “Simplify, then add lightness.”
As an example, there are no hull linings, which saves weight and complication, but requires extremely neat moulding.
As a low volume builder – only 28 of the smaller boats have been built in total – Marsaudon Composites offers semi-custom interior arrangements, providing they don’t add unnecessary weight.
At the same time as announcing this design Marsaudon launched a rebranding of the range, which will now be known as Ocean Rider Catamarans (or ORC).

Boat test: ORC 57
Looking for the performance of an IMOCA 60 and the comfort of a cruising yacht? Rupert Holmes reports on the ORC 57, the desirable large high performance cruising multihull
Lorient La Base is a port like no other. It was built as a German submarine base during World War II, with massively reinforced submarine pens that have bombproof concrete roofs of up to 7.5m thickness.
The south Breton harbour is now home to some of the world’s top race teams. The day I sailed the ORC57, two giant 30+ metre Ultime trimarans – Gitana 17 and Sodebo – were in port. As were half a dozen IMOCA 60s, including Kevin Escoffier’s new PRB and Isabelle Joschke’s MACSF, while the newly launched Charal 2 was out on sea trials with skipper Jérémie Beyou.
This is also the home of Marsaudon Composites, which has two sides to its business. The core is the construction of very high-tech composite structures, many of them for the race teams based here. However, it also builds a trio of very fast, yet spacious, catamarans aimed primarily at long distance cruising. Those who follow the industry closely will know that Marsaudon landed in serious financial troubles last year but were brought out of administration after being acquired by the Grand Large Yachting group, a French umbrella company that owns RM Yachts, Garcia and, most significantly, Outremer Catamarans. Outremer would previously have been viewed as a rival to Marsaudon to some extent and the possibility that the two manufacturers can now share expertise is a big plus.
The Marc Lombard designed ORC57 is the largest and newest of their range and I sailed the prototype in glorious midsummer weather. This a yard owned boat, intended from the outset as a testbed to refine the model before full production starts. (nb: since testing, a second boat has been built that has been considerably refined) It retains the distinctive aft helm stations and direct tiller steering of the smaller models, but adds davits and other features of a long-distance cruiser.
Construction is fairly conventional, including carbon cross beams as standard, while options include carbon bulkheads, coachroof and daggerboards, plus high modulus Lorima carbon spars.
ORC 57: On Deck
Main deck working areas are at the back of the cockpit and around the mast base, leaving other spaces largely unencumbered by rope tails and so on. Mainsheet and traveller are led to both sides of the cockpit on top of the aft beam, just a couple of steps from the helm stations, where they are controlled by Harken 70 winches. Harken 80 primary winches are mounted just ahead of the mainsheet winches, making it easy for one person to operate both. A second pair of Harken 70s control the daggerboards, headsail sheet inhaulers and so on.
The setup on our test boat, which lacks electric cockpit winches has the potential to be really hard work, and most cruising boats would fit electric options. Yet, with attentive helming it was easy to steer the boat to minimise loads, even on the headsail sheets after a tack. The test boat has electric winches at the mast which make for easy mainsail and code zero hoists, and can also be used for furling the code zero. Headsails all have halyard locks, apart from the J1 jib, which is permanently rigged on a furler. On-deck stowage is great, with a big sail locker forward to port, plus an optional skipper cabin to starboard that’s accessed from on deck. There are also two big lockers for fenders and other gear at the front of the bridge deck. Overall there’s easily enough space for a full suit of race sails, or an extensive array of water sport toys.
ORC 57: Down below
At this size, even a performance boat can have a huge amount of accommodation. In this case there’s a genuinely massive open-plan cockpit and saloon area, with nav station and galley that offers an excellent all-round view from almost everywhere. If anything, this part of the boat feels more spacious than many more cruising oriented designs that attempt to add in more so-called features, but divide the space up into smaller areas. This spaciousness also allows for very easy circulation of people: we had six on board with no one getting in the way at any time and there was ample space for more. The big saloon has a large table and a great forward facing nav station. Our test boat has the optional faired and painted deck head here, which gives a much higher standard of cosmetic finish than many existing boats from this yard. It’s time consuming to produce, so it’s an expensive option, but the solution of internal mouldings adopted by most boat builders today would add an unacceptable amount of weight.
The use of portable fabric stools that weigh only a couple of pounds adds to the flexibility of seating areas, without additional heavy and cumbersome fixed structures. They can be moved around wherever they are needed – at the interior dining table, around the cockpit table, or even at the dressing table or desk area in the sleeping cabins. They are hand made from discarded race sails by neighboring company 727 Sailbags, have a very lightweight filling and combine practicality with style. Marsaudon also uses waterproof beanbags from the same source in place of the sunbeds of conventional large cruising catamarans.
The galley is a lot more compact than that of a pure cruising catamaran of this size, but is nevertheless well appointed and has plenty of worktop space. However, the biggest differences are found in the accommodation in the hulls. While still comfortable and well appointed, these don’t offer anything like the volumes of stowage of other boats of this size, nor are there peninsula beds.
But in many ways that’s not the point. The cabins are still large, bright and airy by most standards, while additional stowage would inevitably encourage more performance sapping weight on board. In any case, how many shorts and tee-shirts do you really need to take for sailing in mostly warm parts of the world? A washer-drier features on the extensive options list.
On the plus side, the accommodation in both hulls is exceptionally well-lit, with huge beds aft that are almost square in shape. Our test boat was fitted out with an owner’s cabin occupying the entire port hull. This has a huge heads/shower area forward, as well as a great desk area facing a hull window at which I’m typing these notes. It’s a brilliant set up for anyone who works from home while on board and needs more privacy than is available at the big forward facing navigation station in the saloon.
How much does the imperative to keep displacement light impact on payload? This is only three tonnes and therefore much lower than that of many catamarans of this size. However, the boat’s speed potential means less time at sea when crossing oceans, which translates to a need for fewer supplies. Equally, while a large number of people can safely be accommodated for day sails and even the occasional weekend, this is not intended as a party boat. There is therefore ample payload for a typical crew of two to six people, even for extended periods.
ORC 57: On the water
We set off sailing upwind in 10 knots of true breeze close-hauled in a very easy and relaxed fashion, with the Ile de Groix rapidly looming large, even though the boat was far from fully powered up. The distinctive trademark bucket seats at the helm are extremely comfortable and in these conditions the boat felt very easy to steer accurately.
When tacking, careful helming with strategic luffs can take 90% of the effort out of sheeting in the headsail. Nevertheless, with the test boat lacking electric winches this has potential to be a very physical boat to sail, so you have to anticipate well in advance, especially when shorthanded. At the same time, the incredible amount of stability – even though this is not a boat designed to fly a hull – makes it easy to forget just how massive the loads are and the extent to which careful and disciplined crew work is essential.
On the downside, visibility from the helm is not all-round. While you can see through most of the coachroof, thanks to its large windows, there are blind spots which increase in size as the wind builds and heel angle increases by a few degrees. Nevertheless, in many ways this is no worse than a monohull where the driver can’t see past the jib.
After bearing away and unfurling the Code 0, we stayed at an easy nine knots of boat speed, with a true wind of only 12 to 13 knots at roughly 130 degrees and the apparent well forward of the beam. Despite the boat’s huge performance potential, the overall setup is refreshingly simple and it’s not intrinsically difficult to sail.
While we didn’t have the prospect of stronger winds during our test, the boat was thoroughly put through her paces during a delivery from Lorient to the International Multihull Show at La Grand Motte in the South of France. Skipper Bruno says that, after a calm Biscay crossing, they sailed down the Portuguese coast with a double reef and a Code 5 spinnaker, hitting 22 knots of boat speed. After bearing away at the southwest corner of Portugal, the breeze increased to 35 knots true at an angle of 130 degrees. They continued with two reefs but changed down to the J2 jib, hitting 25 knots of boat speed yet with dry decks. “We were not pushing it,” he told me afterwards. We were in delivery mode, so were taking no risks.”
Under power, unlike many yachts whether monohulls or multis, engine controls are replicated at both helm stations, making for easy maneuvering. Immediately on leaving the dock, we span the boat in its own length before heading out to the Rade de Lorient. There’s ample power from the twin 57hp engines which are located under the berths in each aft cabin. The only downside is visibility past the coachroof, though careful planning, along with the twin throttle controls, means this can generally be mitigated.
ORC 57: Ruperts verdict
Overall this is a very civilised execution of a boat with such great performance potential. In general it’s impressively well set up, with very high standards of finish and I came away thinking there’s not much I would change with the exception of electronics and foot chocks at the helm. However, all ORCs are custom builds in which the yard will work with owners to create exactly the boat that they want.
Nevertheless, this boat is very much at the top end of what many private owners might be able, or want, to handle. However, it’s not necessary to have a professional sailing background. There is a parallel here with the two-handed offshore racing scene, where many amateurs are now sailing at a level that only a few years ago would have been solely the preserve of professional teams. Surprisingly small amounts of coaching – which can be arranged by the builders – will get you started with the right approach to sailing this kind of boat.
A huge advantage is that a boat with this kind of speed potential opens up many options for cruising. A lot of ORC owners, for example complete a full Atlantic circuit every year. Equally, at a 10 knot average, Ushant is an easy 20 hour sail from the Solent and Denmark a similar distance in the other direction.

Test / ORC 57 layout : The luxury of a catamaran is really the space !
In this second part of our ORC 57 test, we look at the interior fittings and living spaces on the boat's deck. Space, clarity and comfort while sailing or at anchor are the key words.
Customizable layouts
On the ORC 57, Marsaudon Composites wished to keep the philosophy of purity initiated with the TS or Très Simple. However, the owners of a sailing boat of this level of range expect a certain level of comfort and elegance. They also often want a certain level of customization. The shipyard adapts and gives the client latitude. Lighting, storage and even certain points of the layout remain adaptable.
A huge cockpit
The two side helm stations and their seats offset from the hull, a signature of Marsaudon catamarans, remain in place, as do the two tiller stations. With 2 winches for the sheets and a pod for the instruments, the helmsman , who also has the mainsail traveller adjustment nearby, concentrates all the manoeuvres. The large aft cockpit is thus free for movement. The table almost seems small!
A comfortable square
Enhanced with some colors to compensate for the omnipresent white, the saloon gains in warmth. A beautiful saloon table welcomes the crew in the center, with a 360° visibility.
On the starboard bow, a beautiful chart table allows you to navigate while keeping an eye on the entire water surface.
At the back, a kitchen in L, is equipped with all the material, electric plates, a gas oven... The owner will not be disoriented from the house.
If it seems that the storage space is lacking, light composite boxes easily find their place, wedged on the furniture by wooden fargues.
Cabins with view
The 2 aft cabins offer superb double berths of great width. With portholes on deck, on the wall and on the transom, there is no lack of light. In case of sun, the recycled sail awnings are not too much.
In the standard configuration, each hull offers a second cabin forward of the companionways, with a 195 by 145 cm berth, as well as a shower and toilet. Storage shelves are located in the gangway.
In the owner's version we tried, the port hull is entirely dedicated. The forward cabin is removed in favor of a double sink bathroom with a large separate shower. An office is located in front of the companionway.
Careful details
The quality of the finish is truly qualitative. The touches of color, as well as nice details, such as the leather handles or the black faucets, break the austerity of the omnipresent white glossy paint.

While remaining faithful to the DNA of her smaller sisterships, the ORC 57 is this time designed by Marc Lombard – the two previous models having been designed by Barreau/Neuman. Very light but habitable, the 57 promises exceptional performance – in a good breeze with a relatively slight sea, she should be capable of holding a 20-knot average over many hours. Enough to shorten the longest of passages! This model will fulfill the requirements of crews infatuated by speed, by offshore racing and also by high-end charter.

ORC 57 – Avel Vaez
Avel Vaez launched from the ORC Catamean yard in Lorient on January 16, 2024 and delivered a few weeks later. She is the third ORC57 catamaran. The name Avel Vaez, which means “Offshore Wind” in Breton language, was not chosen by chance: the third ORC57 is a lightweight, high-performance catamaran, capable of sailing in all weathers. Often sailing faster than the wind!
Designed by Marc Lombard Yacht Design, the vessel’s hull is made of vinylester composite, fiberglass and infused foam. The main bulkheads are made of carbon fiber, providing lightness and strength. When it comes to sailing, two retractable daggerboards help make Avel Vaez a catamaran of outstanding performance: whether racing or cruising, the boat sails quickly and easily at all points of sail. It also gives its crew access to shallow – and therefore well-protected – anchorages. All of these elements ensure that our passengers embark, every time, on an unparalleled experience they won’t soon forget!
With its simple but highly efficient rig and sail plan, the Avel Vaez catamaran boasts impressive sailing capabilities. Even in light winds! Thanks in particular to its fixed carbon mast and composite rigging, Avel Vaez is a catamaran that performs thanks to its lightness. For ease and comfort on board, the boat’s three main winches are electric. Sail handling is fast and safe, without requiring too much physical strength or effort from the crew. Of course, it’s always possible to grind, if you prefer the exercise!
Many people ask us about the ORC57’s performance and stability compared with competing catamarans. After studying the capabilities of sailing catamarans currently on the market, we can say with certainty that the ORC57 is the best-performing catamaran.

The security deposit is to cover damage to the yacht, that is more than just general wear and tear that would be expected when racing. In the worst case scenario it will cover the excess should there be the need for a claim on the yacht’s insurance. However, it is also there to cover less serious damage that does not warrant an insurance claim like damages to sails. If there is no damage then we will refund the security deposit in the week following the charter. If there are any damages the value of these damages will be assessed and the balance of the security deposit refunded after these costs have been deducted.

MARSAUDON COMPOSITES ORC 57
A burst of 22 knots on this cruising catamaran.
Home » Boat » Catamaran » MARSAUDON COMPOSITES ORC 57
Presentation
Yacht class n°33 (june-july-august 2023), marsaudon composites.
With its Ocean Rider Catamaran range, the French shipyard Marsaudon Composites is entering the fast-cruising niche. Aboard the ORC 57, the flagship designed by Marc Lombard, a crossing from the continent to Corsica gave us the opportunity to appreciate the performance and comfort of this refined and racy catamaran. Let’s head for Calvi!
Written by: Christophe Varène – Photos: DR
Fast. Very fast. With tonic wind conditions, between 20 and 40 true knots, quite favourable, north-west turning south-west, the speedometer delighted us with a maximum of 22,1 knots! And the last two hours, between 110 and 90 degrees of apparent wind, were spent at an average of almost 15 knots. With three people on board, the crossing between the port of Hyères and the bay of Calvi, in Corsica, on board the ORC 57 undeniably demonstrated the performance of this catamaran designed by Marc Lombard for speed. A look back at a great experience. From the Highfield tender that took us on board, we were able to appreciate the taut lines of the ORC 57 with its “racing” profile: inverted bows, very fine hulls, limited freeboard, discreet superstructures, low boom. Once on board, the sporty character becomes clear. Modern sailboats with tiller are rare. This brings back a pleasure that has been somewhat forgotten with the steering wheel: the thrill of direct control of the boat, especially in heavy seas from behind. And the position of the bucket seat – on the bulwark, almost on the outside – gives the helmsman an excellent view right up to the bow of the windward hull. Port manoeuvres may take some getting used to, but the precision is there. The Special Weather Bulletins warning of fresh and moderate gales encouraged Jean-Marc, the skipper of ORC 57, to be cautious and the sails were limited to the mainsail with 3 reefs and the J2, as recommended by the sail reduction chart issued by the architect. As the rigging was inspired by the world of ocean racing, the various operations took place with one crewmember at the helm and two at the mast step. Repeating these operations – releasing the third reef, then the second, replacing the J2 with the J1, and the J2 again – made them easier to understand and perform. There was no opportunity to sail upwind, but with the reclined daggerboards angled outwards to create the elevation, the skipper is confident of achieving up to 32-35 degrees of apparent wind.
PERFORMANCE AND WELL-BEING ON BOARD
Thanks to the expert advice of racers like Francis Joyon, whose trimaran IDEC comes from the same workshops, the deck plan ergonomics have also been worked on and offers a free passage from one hull to the other between the two steering positions, direct access to the winches and, in particular, to those for the mainsheet and its track, safety elements that should not be neglected. So, while the helmsman remained focused on playing with the waves and accelerating, let’s consider the crew’s comfort. Remember, the ORC 57 is a cruising catamaran and speed is not incompatible with a relaxing life on board. Stability is obviously an important asset, as is continuity of circulation between cockpit and saloon. This welcoming area is furnished with sofas and a large table. It leads to the interior through a large sliding door that disappears almost completely at the sides. Everywhere, simplicity is the key word. Indeed, the shipyard’s conscious decision to save weight meant that the construction had to be efficient. Made of vinylester foam sandwich, the boat receives its structures (some of which can be in carbon) directly in its hull moulds, which guarantees the rigidity of the entire structure. In fact, there is never any sensation of independent movement of the hulls, even in heavy seas. This process also ensures that there is no creaking or rattling. As for the design, the absence of a hull lining is a response to the desire to preserve the straightforward sporting spirit: the effect is rather successful, with clear and contemporary interiors. The custom production of about 8 to 10 boats per year allows owners to have all their wishes fulfilled… without compromising the shipyard’s quest for performance.
SIMPLE AND CUSTOMISABLE LAYOUTS
The very bright saloon houses a well-designed galley, even if, as already mentioned, stability under sail guarantees a certain level of comfort for the chef. There is a nice table for six to eight, a long U-shaped settee and stools that double up as storage – take care not to overload them so that they can be moved easily. A nice chart table is located forward, facing the navigation. Two side companionways lead to the cabins. In this configuration, the port hull is dedicated to the owner with an aft double berth, a desk and storage amidships and a shower stall forward. The other hull accommodates two guest cabins sharing a head and an independent shower cabin amidships. The layout seems minimalist – always in the spirit of sport – but not without a few clever ideas, such as the simple roll-up canvas concealing the portholes. As each model is unique, owners can add their own touch and some details can be improved. Beyond the pleasure of speed – the best way to expand one’s playground and discover distant landscapes – the ORC 57 adds an “art de vivre” dimension where the quest for the essential captures the spirit of the times.
Jérôme Cottet – sales manager at Marsaudon Composites “ To support the client in their needs and programme. “
“Founded in 1999, Marsaudon Composites will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year. Initially specializing in the production of composite parts, then in hulls for ocean racing yachts, such as Francis Joyon’s trimaran IDEC that has an impressive track record, we launched in 2015 the TS range (for “Très Simple”, very simple in French), renamed ORC (for Ocean Rider Catamaran). And we are about to launch our fiftieth unit (25 ORC 42, 22 ORC 50 & 3 ORC 57). At the same time, we continue to work on custom yachts and are developing an activity for the aeronautical industry. Located in the Lorient submarine base, our industrial facilities include carrier decks and the largest oven in France for carbon parts. Developed by Sam Marsaudon (who is still technical advisor), then taken over by Damien Cailliau in 2018, the shipyard wanted to move upmarket and adapt as closely as possible to customer expectations by drafting, over a period of two or three months and prior to of construction, a document called Technical Requirements Specification, which is transmitted to the Design department. During the nine months it takes to build an ORC 57, the owner can take advantage of the services of our academy to complete his training. This can be technical or nautical. Our aim is to be at their side during this fantastic period of life that will be sailing on an ORC”.

Gunboat 57 charter catamaran will spoil you with speed.

Gunboat 57 Vai Vai is not your average charter cat.
One of the many perks of my job as a yachting writer is that I get to sail aboard a wide variety of boats. I especially love ripping off speed runs aboard some the world’s largest (and fastest) offshore race boats . Now, the truth is, the only reason I’m allowed aboard is because I’m just a humble journalist. But the blistering speeds those boats are capable of is addictive.
And as someone who’s been lucky enough to sail more than my fair share of charter catamarans in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, French Polynesia and other bucket list destinations, I can say every charter cat I’ve ever been on has been a fantastic platform for living large in the tropics. They’re not particularly exciting to sail.
Gunboat 57 Vai Vai speeds in front of Newport's The Claiborne Pell Bridge
I’m also grateful to say that I’ve sailed on a few high-performance sailing catamarans like the Gunboat 57 Vai Vai . One of the many cool things about Vai Vai is that she’s capable of blow-your-hair-back speeds AND providing just the right amount living space and cruising comforts. But I never knew it was possible to charter something as fast and fun-to-sail as a Gunboat 57—in Newport, Rhode Island in the summer and Caribbean in the winter—until now.
Jeff Hager's Gunboat 57 will appeal to sailors who appreciate high performance sailing and stylishly ... [+] comfortable accommodations on a charter boat.
Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024
Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024.
After spending a little time with the VaiVai’s owner Jeff Hager earlier this summer, all I can say is Vai Vai ’s speed potential makes it possible to cover way, way more ground than a more conventional charter boat. And since everyone (even the helmsman and sail trimmer can hang out in main bridgedeck area, and the catamaran never heels more than a few degrees) more speed doesn’t mean less comfort.
The Gunboat 57 is a powerful sailing catamaran with stylishly comfortable accommodations and an ... [+] indoor helm station
In fact, the indoor/outdoor living aboard Vai Vai is next level. The wrap-around windows provide protection from the high winds and spray such a fast boat produces. The 360-degree view is amazing while the massive roof provides essential sun protection. And the sheer size of the bridgedeck is soooo much bigger than what you’d find on a 57-foot monohull. And the nice thing about having the galley and living cabins in the hulls is that each cabin is particularly private.
But, let’s fact it. This boat will not appeal to anyone who rates a charter boat based on how over-the-top-“luxurious” the accommodations are. This is a high-performance sailor’s catamaran for people who don’t want to give up the sheer thrill of sailing on a charter.
The boat that will bring oysters and other raw bar staples out to your boat at anchor is one of the ... [+] many reasons to stop in Cuttyhunk on a charter aboard Vai Vai.
And if you’re lucky enough to book a week aboard VaiVai before she heads south in the fall, be sure to stop for oysters on the tiny island of Cuttyhunk. I guarantee you’ll beat every other sailing charter boat in Newport’s fleet.

The ORC 57 is a light, fast sailing catamaran. The design mantra was "Keep it simple and keep it light". She's one helluva machine. FAQs Marsaudon ORCC57 Catamaran. How much is an ORC57? The standard configuration is priced at just under €1.1m, launched and rigged in L'Orient. Of course, there are plenty of extras that you can add ...
Description. The result of two years of work with the Marc Lombard's design bureau, the ORC 57 takes inspiration from our other model's fluid lines and a sporty structures, guarenteeing pleasurable long cruises and efficient sailing! The ORC57 comes with four large cabins as standard, and as a whole, can accommodate 9 people.
With the Orc 57 Catamaran, Marsaudon Composites has struck a winner in the speed catagory. But the price might also be a killer for the well known brands!Loo...
ORC 57. Increased DNA for even greater sensations. Marsaudon Composites has already built a solid reputation with two 42 and 50-foot models. Its latest model, the ORC 57, has just been unveiled, making its world premiere at La Grande-Motte in April. We'd got the chance to discover it a few weeks earlier in Lorient. Our verdict?
Marsaudon Composites has built an enthusiastic following for its TS42 and TS50 catamarans since the smaller boat was launched six years ago. Now they are adding a new design to their range, the ORC 57. The ORC 57 will follow in the footsteps of her predecessors, offering a tiller steered performance multihull - though this time at c.60ft LOA.
