Marsaudon Composites ORC57

If you are buying a catamaran, you have one main decision to make. Do you want performance on the water and a boat that will get you from A to B quickly (and out of trouble if you need to), or do you want more living space to maximise comfort levels while at anchor?

On one end of the scale are the Lagoons, the Leopards and the Sunreefs (if you decide to go up the luxury scale in the case of the final brand). And in the speed section are Marsaudon Composites, Dazcats and Gunboat (again if you decide to go the luxury route in the case of the latter). And, of course, there are many other brands that fill in the spaces in between.

Marsaudon Composites is firmly positioned on the speed axis: a performance catamaran manufacturer that wins races. But they also make comfortable boats that sail with a smooth ride, and none more so than their flagship the ORC57 which has been inspired by catamarans such as the Gunboat 60 and the Outremer 5X.

Photos credit: Marsaudon Composites, Sebastien Mainguet (Voiles et Voiliers), Patrick le Lay

As Marsaudon’s marketing says, the Ocean Rider Catamarans range are true sailing machines. This boat will be competing in a white hot market against the likes of the O-Yachts Class 6 and the HH55.

The 57 footer has been designed by Marc Lombard who also designs boats for Nautitech and Privilege, so he’s well known in this corner of France: L’Orient. He has done a great job in expanding the range from the smaller 42 and 50 footers that were designed by Christophe Barreau. You can see that he has taken inspiration from the smaller models’ fluid and sporty lines.

The design inspiration has come from the likes of Lotus and the classic 1967 Ford Mustang: form through function. This is a real “muscle cat”.

At just 11.3 tonnes light weight, this catamaran is a serious mover. She’s just over 18m long and carries a 108 m² mainsail and an 81 m² Genoa (J1)

There’s a choice of double tillers for direct steering like you will see on the smaller boats or twin aft wheels for helms.

The standard mast and boom are aluminium, but they have used carbon on the cross beam and bowsprit. There are options for carbon upgrades everywhere of course.

The ORC57 is a powerful machine, but she’s been set up for a short-handed crew. There are 8 winches to help you manage the sails: 2 dedicated mainsheet winches, plus winches for the genoa and daggerboard lines. There are plenty of handrails on the roof for safety (8) and a crash box in each bow with watertight bulkheads.

Living Space

Down below in the standard version are 2 spacious, light aft cabins (200cm x 200cm beds), 2 heads and 2 queen sized forward cabins (200cm x 160com beds).

The finish is what we would call “industrial chic” with luxury touches. Everything has been optimised for weight reduction. So down below, for example, the floor panels are carbon and the sides in the interior are merely painted with aspects to warm the design up. It’s very effective and pretty cool.

This is one sleek looking catamaran and she is priced very competitively for this market. The ORC 57 is a light, fast sailing catamaran. The design mantra was “Keep it simple and keep it light”. She’s one helluva machine.

FAQs Marsaudon ORCC57 Catamaran

How much is an ORC57? The standard configuration is priced at just under €1.1m, launched and rigged in L’Orient. Of course, there are plenty of extras that you can add onto this, but still, this catamaran is competitively priced in this market against the likes of HH, Dazcat and even Outremer

Test / ORC 57 : A catamaran resolutely upmarket and à la carte

In this last part of the ORC 57 test, we focus on the prices and positioning of this atypical catamaran on the market.

A catamaran with a fine finish

Flagship of the Marsaudon Composites range, the ORC 57 is not intended for mass production. In any case, the shipbuilder from Lorient can only produce a few units per year and therefore offers a high level of service, while adapting to customer demands.

The standard model comes with all the necessary equipment to go sailing. It comes with a Sparcraft aluminum mast, a dyneema forestay and sails from Incidence Sails. The deck equipment combines Ronstan , Harken and Karver . The stanchions and balconies are in black powder-coated stainless steel . As for the interior, the standard version has 4 cabins, with fine finishes, such as leather handles or honeycomb fargues.

The catamaran is proposed at a standard price of 2022, ready to sail , of 1 195 000 euros (excl. VAT).

Customizable options

As we have seen on the model we tried, the shipyard is flexible on the possibilities of layout. The catamaran on which we sailed had a double bathroom in the owner's hull. The owner will be able to decide with the shipyard on certain fittings and of course on elements of the deck plan, such as electric winches at the foot of the mast or storage elements in the saloon. The model we tested was around 1,500,000 euros (excluding VAT).

A coherent positioning on the market

There are few players in the top-of-the-range catamaran market, especially in lengths of less than 60 feet. Budget comparisons are therefore all the more complex to make.

On a sporty program, but with a more pronounced desire to travel , the Outremer 5X, 2 feet longer, is announced in a standard version at 1,130,000 euros (excl. tax). For the leader of the Lagoon catamaran , the Lagoon 55, with a resolutely different program but similar size, is offered at a price of 1,139,300 euros (excl. tax).

The set of options, on top-of-the-range boats, can quickly make prices evolve, but the price of the ORC 57, built in Lorient , proves to be definitely coherent in the multihull landscape, considering the performances at sea and the services at anchor .

Orc 57 – Simple by nature, fast by design

A real turbo charged performance catamaran. Just 13tons of displacement powered with a sail area of 161m 2  upwind and 422m 2  downwind! High performance guaranteed: Square top main, J1, J2, J3, Code0, 2 spinnakers.

Sober but functional amenities with a wide protected cockpit, a spacious saloon, 4 double cabins, two bathrooms plus two exterior crew single cabins.

The ORC 57 is available for charter from our Lavrio base with a permanent professional crew (skipper + hostess). In early November will leave for a double transatlantic, returning again to Greece next April.

Fastsailing customers can join us for the transatlantic crossings.

For more details check our “ Train & Race” tab.

SPECIFICATIONS

Interiors: 4 double cabins + 2 single cabins for crew, 2 WCs with shower, hot water, full kitchen, fridge, storage, excellent ventilation

Deck: Large and unobstructed cockpit, cockpit shower, large trampoline areas

A comfortable catamaran can be really fast and does not have to be a….floating caravan!

Absolute safety. Sail relaxed, feel and be safe at all times, no compromise on that! Safety comes from 5 basic characteristics: Robust structure, Stability, Unsinkability, Offshore design, Speed potential and Active safety systems

Robust structure:

• Hulls reinforced both longitudinally and transversally
• All bulkheads are structurally integrated
• Extra reinforcement on highly stressed areas of hull and deck (winches, rudder pits, engine etc.)
• Topconstruction quality
• Great reserve of righting moment.

Un-sinkability:

• Buoyancy foam below front and aft cabins
• Watertight aft and bow crash compartments

Offshore design:

• CE Cat A – ISO 12217‐2 for Ocean Sailing.

Speed: Being fast is an element of safety per se:

• reach shelter quickly
• escape from a weather front

Active safety systems:

• automatic mainsail sheet release system
• automatic frontsail sheet release system

Those automatic systems are connected to a sofisticated combination of accelerometer and inclinometer that will intervene before the boat gets into a critical situation from a stability point of view. Such systems were developed for ocean racing multihulls.

Preview: ORC 57 performance cruising catamaran

• Toby Heppell
• June 3, 2021

Marsaudon Composites has announced a new multihull in the ORC 57 alongside which the company has announced a rebranding of their range, now all of which will be known as Ocean Rider Catamarans (or ORC)

Marsaudon Composites has built an enthusiastic following for its TS42 and TS50 catamarans since the smaller boat was launched six years ago. Now they are adding a new design to their range, the ORC 57.

The ORC 57 will follow in the footsteps of her predecessors, offering a tiller steered performance multihull – though this time at c.60ft LOA.

The yard is based at Lorient La Base, at the heart of the French offshore racing scene, so it’s perhaps no surprise these designs are lightweight and have more than a nod towards the performance end of the sailing spectrum.

The direct tiller steering on both previous moles is an example of the thinking that sets these boats apart from other multihulls and makes them sought after models. Yet they also have enough space both on deck and below to offer very comfortable living.

Having seen success with their first two cats, the French marque is now launching the new 57-footer, the ORC 57, which comes from the pen of designer, Marc Lombard. It shares the same hallmarks as the existing models, although a wheel steering option will also be offered.

In suitable conditions this is a cruising yacht that can be expected to hit speeds of well over 20 knots.

The hull shape of the ORC 57 is clearly a progression from the earlier models, while following the same light displacement principles with fine hull shapes. Lombard drew a new shape for the bows to increase efficiency and reduce the tendency for bow-down trim.

The additional size makes the interior spaces of this boat significantly larger than those of the 50-footer, especially in the hulls. Much thought has also gone into ergonomics and weight saving, stripping out and simplifying anything that is not essential. CEO Damien Cailliau likes to draw on a quote from Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus Cars: “Simplify, then add lightness.”

As an example, there are no hull linings, which saves weight and complication, but requires extremely neat moulding.

As a low volume builder – only 28 of the smaller boats have been built in total – Marsaudon Composites offers semi-custom interior arrangements, providing they don’t add unnecessary weight.

At the same time as announcing this design Marsaudon launched a rebranding of the range, which will now be known as Ocean Rider Catamarans (or ORC).

MARSAUDON COMPOSITES ORC 57

A burst of 22 knots on this cruising catamaran.

Presentation

Yacht class n°33 (june-july-august 2023), marsaudon composites.

With its Ocean Rider Catamaran range, the French shipyard Marsaudon Composites is entering the fast-cruising niche. Aboard the ORC 57, the flagship designed by Marc Lombard, a crossing from the continent to Corsica gave us the opportunity to appreciate the performance and comfort of this refined and racy catamaran. Let’s head for Calvi!

Written by: Christophe Varène – Photos: DR

Fast. Very fast. With tonic wind conditions, between 20 and 40 true knots, quite favourable, north-west turning south-west, the speedometer delighted us with a maximum of 22,1 knots! And the last two hours, between 110 and 90 degrees of apparent wind, were spent at an average of almost 15 knots. With three people on board, the crossing between the port of Hyères and the bay of Calvi, in Corsica, on board the ORC 57 undeniably demonstrated the performance of this catamaran designed by Marc Lombard for speed. A look back at a great experience. From the Highfield tender that took us on board, we were able to appreciate the taut lines of the ORC 57 with its “racing” profile: inverted bows, very fine hulls, limited freeboard, discreet superstructures, low boom. Once on board, the sporty character becomes clear. Modern sailboats with tiller are rare. This brings back a pleasure that has been somewhat forgotten with the steering wheel: the thrill of direct control of the boat, especially in heavy seas from behind. And the position of the bucket seat – on the bulwark, almost on the outside – gives the helmsman an excellent view right up to the bow of the windward hull. Port manoeuvres may take some getting used to, but the precision is there. The Special Weather Bulletins warning of fresh and moderate gales encouraged Jean-Marc, the skipper of ORC 57, to be cautious and the sails were limited to the mainsail with 3 reefs and the J2, as recommended by the sail reduction chart issued by the architect. As the rigging was inspired by the world of ocean racing, the various operations took place with one crewmember at the helm and two at the mast step. Repeating these operations – releasing the third reef, then the second, replacing the J2 with the J1, and the J2 again – made them easier to understand and perform. There was no opportunity to sail upwind, but with the reclined daggerboards angled outwards to create the elevation, the skipper is confident of achieving up to 32-35 degrees of apparent wind.

PERFORMANCE AND WELL-BEING ON BOARD

Thanks to the expert advice of racers like Francis Joyon, whose trimaran IDEC comes from the same workshops, the deck plan ergonomics have also been worked on and offers a free passage from one hull to the other between the two steering positions, direct access to the winches and, in particular, to those for the mainsheet and its track, safety elements that should not be neglected. So, while the helmsman remained focused on playing with the waves and accelerating, let’s consider the crew’s comfort. Remember, the ORC 57 is a cruising catamaran and speed is not incompatible with a relaxing life on board. Stability is obviously an important asset, as is continuity of circulation between cockpit and saloon. This welcoming area is furnished with sofas and a large table. It leads to the interior through a large sliding door that disappears almost completely at the sides. Everywhere, simplicity is the key word. Indeed, the shipyard’s conscious decision to save weight meant that the construction had to be efficient. Made of vinylester foam sandwich, the boat receives its structures (some of which can be in carbon) directly in its hull moulds, which guarantees the rigidity of the entire structure. In fact, there is never any sensation of independent movement of the hulls, even in heavy seas. This process also ensures that there is no creaking or rattling. As for the design, the absence of a hull lining is a response to the desire to preserve the straightforward sporting spirit: the effect is rather successful, with clear and contemporary interiors. The custom production of about 8 to 10 boats per year allows owners to have all their wishes fulfilled… without compromising the shipyard’s quest for performance.

SIMPLE AND CUSTOMISABLE LAYOUTS

The very bright saloon houses a well-designed galley, even if, as already mentioned, stability under sail guarantees a certain level of comfort for the chef. There is a nice table for six to eight, a long U-shaped settee and stools that double up as storage – take care not to overload them so that they can be moved easily. A nice chart table is located forward, facing the navigation. Two side companionways lead to the cabins. In this configuration, the port hull is dedicated to the owner with an aft double berth, a desk and storage amidships and a shower stall forward. The other hull accommodates two guest cabins sharing a head and an independent shower cabin amidships. The layout seems minimalist – always in the spirit of sport – but not without a few clever ideas, such as the simple roll-up canvas concealing the portholes. As each model is unique, owners can add their own touch and some details can be improved. Beyond the pleasure of speed – the best way to expand one’s playground and discover distant landscapes – the ORC 57 adds an “art de vivre” dimension where the quest for the essential captures the spirit of the times.

Jérôme Cottet – sales manager at Marsaudon Composites “ To support the client in their needs and programme. “

“Founded in 1999, Marsaudon Composites will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year. Initially specializing in the production of composite parts, then in hulls for ocean racing yachts, such as Francis Joyon’s trimaran IDEC that has an impressive track record, we launched in 2015 the TS range (for “Très Simple”, very simple in French), renamed ORC (for Ocean Rider Catamaran). And we are about to launch our fiftieth unit (25 ORC 42, 22 ORC 50 & 3 ORC 57). At the same time, we continue to work on custom yachts and are developing an activity for the aeronautical industry. Located in the Lorient submarine base, our industrial facilities include carrier decks and the largest oven in France for carbon parts. Developed by Sam Marsaudon (who is still technical advisor), then taken over by Damien Cailliau in 2018, the shipyard wanted to move upmarket and adapt as closely as possible to customer expectations by drafting, over a period of two or three months and prior to of construction, a document called Technical Requirements Specification, which is transmitted to the Design department. During the nine months it takes to build an ORC 57, the owner can take advantage of the services of our academy to complete his training. This can be technical or nautical. Our aim is to be at their side during this fantastic period of life that will be sailing on an ORC”.

While remaining faithful to the DNA of her smaller sisterships, the ORC 57 is this time designed by Marc Lombard – the two previous models having been designed by Barreau/Neuman. Very light but habitable, the 57 promises exceptional performance – in a good breeze with a relatively slight sea, she should be capable of holding a 20-knot average over many hours. Enough to shorten the longest of passages! This model will fulfill the requirements of crews infatuated by speed, by offshore racing and also by high-end charter.

Full test in Multihulls World #184 (July-August 2022).
