Now the splash of our new Outremer 57 is getting closer it's time to start building the tender as well. It'll be huge, about as big as we can fit but still well within the maximum weight we want to have at the very back end of the boat. We drive to Berlin to witness the first steps of the build and we get the chance to test the even bigger AST 500 on the water

Finally we will make it to Madeira. All our attempts so far were blocked by adverse weather conditions but this time it looks quite ok. We head due west from Gibraltar for 3 days and still have plenty of tim to enjoy the archipelago before joining the rest of Team Outremer at Rubicon marina on Lanzarote to prepare Opus for her Atlantic crossing Arriving at Lanzarote we met Simon and Lucia again on the brand new cat they are sailing now. Simon was crew around the world for our favourite Mexican family on their L52S Maroro, the same boat as Greatcircle 1. Nice opportunity to see their boat and shoot some footage back and forth!

We watch the new Greatcircle getting there and sail with Thom and Irene to the Balearen twice and then to Gibraltar on our way to their Atlantic crossing

During the build of our next GreatCircle, Outremer 57 #1, we were lucky to combine following the progress with sailing on other Outremers. In 3 episodes we take you along with Thom and Irene, our favourite Trumpies, and their lovely 55 Opus. In the first episode things aren’t going to plan as sea sickness can get pretty serious…

Meet Stefan from Cyclops Marine who tells enthusiastic stories about the potential for load management on our new Outremer 57

Together with Samy Villeneuve of Incidence Sails we discuss the choice of sails we will have on board and the materials they will be made of. Still the Outremer 55 on the thumbnail as it makes sense to show how happy we were with the sails during our 40.000 nm circumnavigation

Running all electric appliances on the boat at the very same time? Shouldn't be a problem on our new Outremer 57. 48V components not only enable higher charging, more energy storage, and a huge inverter capacity. It will also be possible to choose hybrid engines as a more or less plug and play option. In this video the experts explain us the setup of the system and the features and opportunities the new system will provide.

We’ve reached a major milestone as the very first deck of the brand new Outremer 57 is out of the mould. In the next couple of weeks the engines will be built in and then deck and hulls will be united forever.

During the International Multihull Show last week we had the chance to have a good look at the newest model in the modern range of Outremer performance cruisers

After passing the Panama Canal we have to navigate the 850 nm to the Galapagos, in an area where you have to search or wind if you like to sail

In San Blas we switch from Olively to Kairos and cross the Panama Canal towards the Pacific

During our own rally we missed Colombia and San Blas because of our accident in Aruba. Perfect opportunity to get there after all as we are joining Outremer 55 Olively

While the building of our new Outremer 57 has started we have some spare time to join Olively again on a couple of legs of their sailing adventure around the world

In this episode we are invited to join one of the final design meetings for the new Outremer 57 model between the Outremer design team, and their partners VPLP and Darnet Design. The third Greatcircle will be hull number 1 of this model and is expected to splash at the end of 2026.

In the second leg of the GLYWO 25 we cross rom Gibraltar to Ceuta and follow the African coast to the first collective rendez vous point. After a nice week in Morocco visiting a number of Medina's in the north we continue towards Lanzarote

We join Ben and Angels on Outremer 55 Olively from the start of the World Odyssey 2025 in La Grande Motte to the Canary Islands. In this episode we cover the part until Gibraltar with several stops along the way.

Next leg together with Pablo and Anna along several historical Dutch towns

After crossing from Norway to Sweden we sail around the south towards Stockholm

Ater only 2 weeks at home we already return to Kairos. Pablo and Anna crossed in the meantime to Stavanger from where we will start in the direction of Stockholm

From Fort William we take all close to 30 locks across a couple of lochs straight to Inverness on the east side of Scotland
