ORC 57 – Avel Vaez
Avel Vaez is just the third ORC57 launched, from the ORC Catamaran yard in Lorient, on January 16, 2024. The name Avel Vaez, which means "Offshore Wind" in Breton language, was not chosen by chance: the third ORC57 is a lightweight, high-performance catamaran, capable of sailing in all weathers. Often sailing faster than the wind!
Designed by Marc Lombard Yacht Design, the vessel's hull is made of vinylester composite, fiberglass and infused foam. The main bulkheads are made of carbon fibre, providing lightness and strength. When it comes to sailing, two retractable daggerboards help make Avel Vaez a catamaran of outstanding performance: whether racing or cruising, the boat sails quickly and easily at all points of sail. It also gives its crew access to shallow - and therefore well-protected - anchorages. All of these elements ensure that clients embark, every time, on an unparalleled experience they won't forget!
With its simple but highly efficient rig and sail plan, Avel Vaez boasts impressive sailing capabilities. Even in light winds! Thanks in particular to its fixed carbon mast and composite rigging, Avel Vaez is a catamaran that performs thanks to its lightness. For ease and comfort on board, the boat's three main winches are electric. Sail handling is fast and safe, without requiring too much physical strength or effort from the crew. Of course, it's always possible to grind, if you prefer the exercise!

We had a great time, thank you. The boat was perfect for the job; the crew were friendly, experienced and really leant into the project. We did exactly what we set out to do and were very satisfied with how it went and the results in general.
Thank you for being so quick to come back to our many questions and for organising it all - from everyone at Drift.
