In the fall of 2014 we made our first transatlantic crossing on an Outremer. Davali was Hull #3 of a new line of Outremer 45's. Adam Friedlander still owned a monohull, had loved his Hobie Cat and now was ready to move to a gorgeous performance catamaran.
Adam, like so many Outremer owners, is an entrepreneur, an author of two books and goes at life with a sense of fun, adventure and passion for everything he does. In June of 2016, we joined Adam & his wife Lisa for a week of shakedown cruising along Long Island sound. We had a rip roaring ride from Stamford, Ct where Adam winters the boat to Shelter Island where Davali & the Friednlanders spend their summers. Wind & weather in the June with light crowds make for great sailing along the sound and the southern coast of New England. |
Have FunAdam shipped his guitar to France so he could play his way across the ocean. What a great way to combine your two favorite hobbies.

Watch the WeatherThe Med can provide some exciting sailing and breathtaking cloud formations. We had a storm chasing us out of Cartagena with 2 waterspouts! It didn't catch us. Davali is a fast boat and we got lucky.

Watch for ChafeA distinct difference between day or weekend coastal sailing is the wear on intersecting materials as they spend hours and days in abrading contact. Daily inspections of lines, fittings and all contact points is a must.
