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 complete a passage within the available weather window are key safety factors that should not be overlooked when selecting an offshore passage maker. The OUTBOUND 44/46 speaks to each of these requirements while also acknowledging the value of a comfortable environment in fighting fatigue when offshore and enjoying new surroundings in a far off anchorage.

With a focus on performance, comfort and simplicity, the Tim Kernan designed OUTBOUND 52 echoes Outbound Yachts’ stellar reputation for building quality cruising sailboats. Solid fiberglass construction, long waterline, moderate displacement, and low placed tankage make the 52 an easy choice for the veteran blue water sailor who values both comfort and performance. With Selden in-mast furling and Lewmar electric mainsheet winch, she’s easily sailed shorthanded. Her medium freeboard and low center cockpit were designed for ease of handling with the cruising couple in mind. Echoing the Outbound 46, three wide steps lead below into her semi-raised salon which provides outstanding light and visibility in the main living area. Her exquisite interior can be finished in teak or cherry, with Corian (granite or marble) countertops and beautifully crafted teak and holly sole. Three different cabin arrangement options provide comfortable accommodations for four to six. Storage space for spares, food, personal items and gear that accompanies any cruiser is easily accessed throughout the yacht.
