ORC57 – 2024 – High‑Performance Carbon‑Optimized Catamaran
Avel Vaez is a 2024 ORC57 (formerly Marsaudon Composites), one of the most capable and exhilarating performance cruising catamarans available today. Designed by Marc Lombard and built by the renowned ORC / Marsaudon Composites yard in Lorient, the ORC57 is celebrated for its rare combination of race‑boat DNA, lightweight composite engineering, and true offshore cruising comfort. Avel Vaez elevates this pedigree even further with an exceptional list of factory upgrades, carbon reinforcements, premium rigging, and a full offshore sail wardrobe—making her one of the most comprehensively specified ORC57s ever delivered.
Built for sailors who value speed, simplicity, and safety, this ORC57 delivers effortless 15–20‑knot passages, fingertip control, and remarkable autonomy thanks to her upgraded lithium power bank, solar array, and high‑efficiency systems. Her Lorima full‑carbon mast, Kevlar standing rigging, Dyneema stays, and carbon structural elements significantly enhance stiffness and performance while reducing weight. The sail plan is equally impressive, with multiple gennakers, storm sails, and optimized furling systems for short‑handed or long‑distance sailing.
The cockpit and deck layout are designed for both performance and comfort. Carbon davits rated to 380 kg carry a 4.15 m Hypalon tender with a 25 HP Yamaha. Electric Harken winches, ACS safety system, and optimized deck hardware make maneuvers smooth and secure. A custom turquoise matte hull wrap gives Avel Vaez a striking, unmistakable presence in any anchorage.
Inside, the ORC57 offers a bright, modern living space with panoramic views, premium upholstery, and numerous custom enhancements. The salon features extended cabinetry, additional refrigeration, a large dining table for 10, and a redesigned galley with improved storage and ergonomics. The four‑cabin layout includes upgraded mattresses, 3D ventilation grids, enhanced lighting, and a custom skipper cabin with superposed berths. Comfort systems include a 105 L/h watermaker, multiple freshwater outlets, and extensive 220 V and USB power distribution.
Avel Vaez is fully equipped for serious offshore cruising and commercial operation. She carries a complete Category A safety kit for 12 persons, Spade anchor with 70 m chain, towing gear, emergency equipment, and commercial vessel compliance for ocean crossing. Her electronics suite is top‑tier: NKE performance pack with pilot backup, B&G radar on carbon mast support, Starlink, Iridium 13000 + 9575, and a dedicated navigation computer running TimeZero with Mediterranean and Atlantic charts.
Delivered in 2024 and meticulously specified, Avel Vaez represents a rare opportunity to acquire a near‑new, fully optimized ORC57 without the multi‑year wait and with every major upgrade already installed. She is turn‑key, powerful, elegant, and ready for her next ocean adventure.
Avel Vaez had a professional permanent crew on board from delivery (skipper and hostess) and she has been meticulously maintained and updated. She comes with her remarkable brand covering and registration for the ARC2026, ready to sail (already two participations in 2024 and 2025), with all the safety gear required by the ARC organization. She also took part in the Aegean 600, the RORC 600, Heineken Regattas and BVI regattas. She has a MOCRA and a CSA rating certificate.
Avel Vaez is available in Britany, France. We can organize delivery with a professional crew to the Med or the Caribbeans.

We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.
We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.
We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.
Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.
The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.
What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.
Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.
We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.
I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.

More About MultihullAnswer a few quick questions for your number. Every answer is saved to your Buyer Profile, so every boat on the site is priced for you.
A TMC buyer's broker will send line-by-line costs, what to check at survey, and how this boat compares with others that fit your plan.
Broad estimate by TMC based on the listing's published equipment, typical installed costs for this size of boat, and yard rates in the selected region. Not a survey, a quote or the listing broker's representation, and not a substitute for a professional marine survey. Verify all equipment and condition through a survey before you buy. Delivery, freight and financing figures are estimates; your broker confirms them.
