All about: ORC42

Following the takeover of Marsaudon Composites by the Grand Large Yachting group, is the ORC 42 now bound for a new destiny?

Six years after the launch of the first TS42 - and some twenty units sold - the Marsaudon Composites yard has reworked the deck plan, overall design and accommodation, to offer us the ORC 42 - TS have in the meantime become ORC. The displacement (12,800 lbs/5.8 t) is unchanged: this is half that of most catamarans of this length! And it is precisely the compact size, ease of handling and ease of maintenance that are also the assets of this superb machine. The ORC 42 is always fun to helm and performs well racing. The uncluttered styling of the layout, combined with meticulous ergonomics, does not prevent the cocooning feeling that is appreciated when blue water cruising.
