ORC 42

This ORC42 catamaran is in fact number 20 in the internationally acclaimed TS42 series; the builder having decided to change the name of the series. This example includes the highly sought-after options (carbon bulkheads/forebeam, compression beam and carbon bowsprit). Unlike catamarans sought after for their plethora of fittings, the ORC42 (formerly TS42 which meant "Very simple" in the architect's mind) offers first and foremost exceptional sailing sensations and performance while remaining very reassuring. The comfort on board is real but does not bother with cabinetwork or interior design prowess... everything is functional and easy to maintain
