Summary

Sailing Ratios

Classic yacht-design ratios worked out from the builder's published figures, each shown against the bands designers read it by.

Most builders publish a light displacement. The ratios were defined on a loaded boat, so every boat here reads a little lighter than a surveyor's figure would — all alike, which keeps them comparable.

About ORC Catamarans

Semi-custom

Lorient builder of fast, light cruising catamarans since 1995, now part of the Grand Large Yachting group — two tiller-steered boats, the 52-foot ORC 52.2 by Barreau-Neuman and the 18.4-metre ORC 57 flagship by Marc Lombard.

ORC says that since its inception in 1995 its shipyard has developed a reputed know-how in building fast cruising catamarans, with a philosophy based on simplicity. The yard holds that simplicity is a timeless value that offers nothing but benefits, and that over the years it has become a real 'art de vivre' for its customers, who sail on all the seas and oceans of the globe. Its stated aim is to give owners the maximum of pleasure — a word, it notes, that shares its roots with the French 'plaisance', yachting. Its motto sums up the approach: simple by nature, fast by design, pleasant by definition.
