Outremer 49 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an Outremer 49 means considering a Barreau/Neuman catamaran built as the successor to the Outremer 50, with a 49-foot 2-inch hull, twin daggerboards, and a bluewater brief. Most boats you will encounter are owner three-cabin layouts, though both layout types appear, and ex-charter examples are common on the used market.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin arrangements are the more common configuration available to buyers, but the alternative layouts are also out there. Ex-charter boats turn up frequently, which matters because charter use can mean heavier wear on systems even when the structure is sound. The 49’s rounded trunk cabin is smaller than on comparable cats by design, so internal volume is deliberately modest; the cherry interior, full-size navigation station, and crew-sized galley are consistent features regardless of layout.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Watermakers, lithium batteries, inverters, autopilot, and chartplotters are commonly fitted to these boats. Beyond that, you will often see solar panels, wind generators, code zero sails, asymmetric spinnakers, electric winches, freezers, biminis, dinghy davits, radar, AIS, Starlink, and life rafts. For a buyer, the consequential clusters are power and energy—watermaker, lithium bank, inverter, solar, wind, plus a freezer for long passages—and sail-handling upgrades such as a code zero, asymmetric spinnaker, and electric winches that reduce crew load. Navigation and safety gear like chartplotter, autopilot, radar, AIS, and life raft are frequently present and worth verifying in person.
What to Inspect
The hard foredeck on the 49 is cut back almost to the cabin to remove flat surfaces exposed to boarding seas hard foredeck is cut back, so check for stress or repair at that junction and around the smaller rounded trunk cabin fitted for structural integrity. Confirm the forward crash boxes are intact, since these are core safety items. With twin tillers aft paired to a main helm hydraulic system, exercise both steering paths and look for play or leakage. Verify the daggerboard trunks and the 2 foot 9 inch to 7 foot 7 inch draft range operate cleanly.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats are found in the United States market. For a shopper, the practical checklist is: confirm layout type and whether the example is ex-charter; test both tiller and hydraulic helm steering; inspect crash boxes, bulkheads, and foredeck joins; verify the daggerboards and trunk condition; and confirm the presence and condition of power, watermaker, and sail-handling upgrades.
