Outbound 44/46 - The Ultimate Passagemaker

Experienced sailors know the added safety that comes with good sailing performance. The ability to sail off a lee shore, to fetch a safe harbor that is dead upwind, or to shorten a passage to within the available weather window are key safety factors that should not be overlooked when selecting your next yacht.

With deliveries, living aboard, and racing in our background, our first goal was to develop a well
behaved and easily driven yacht … not just for speed but for the safety that comes with performance and control. Our second goal was to create as much comfort as possible … not just for living aboard, but to fight fatigue when heading offshore.

The solid fiberglass construction and elegant hand crafted interior of an Outbound offers the
displacement required to give the yacht an easy and forgiving motion but its lines and parameters
define performance … long waterline, moderate beam, high righting moment, proper weight
distribution, and efficient foils. Raising the cabin sole and house a few inches allows for 200 gallons of water and 180 gallons of fuel directly over the keel, adding stability, upwind performance, and stowage … and creates the light and airy cabin for a long and pleasant cruising experience.
