Outlier 2019
Outlier
Outlier is a 55-foot cold-molded custom sloop designed by Botin Partners of Spain. She’s a Spirit of Tradition racer and daysailer engineered for performance. While she has a modern underbody with a deep, fixed-bulb keel, Outlier’s aesthetic above the waterline is decidedly traditional with a roomy cockpit, closed transom and classic cabin top.
Outlier has an internal carbon-reinforced keel structure to support the deep fin and lead bulb ballast appendage. Her three-spreader carbon mast, from Hall Spars, flies distinctive cream-colored 3Di sails from North Sails. Since Outlier’s owner doesn’t intend to take her offshore for extended cruises, the accommodations are clean, classic, and simple. The lightweight interior is built with paneled vertical grain white oak, and English brown oak cabin sole, and finished in satin varnish, while the underside of the deck is painted white for accent. There is a spacious main saloon amid ships connecting with a simple galley and well-equipped navigations station. A quarter berth aft offers sleeping accommodations adjacent to the cockpit, and a forward cabin has four bunks plus an fully enclosed head.
Outlier calls Nantucket her homeport.
This is Brooklin Boat Yard’s second collaboration with Botin Partners, having launched the 22m Toroa in 2017. Outlier’s owner selected Botin Partners and Brooklin Boat Yard to design and build this custom yacht after seeing Toroa.
