2022 Outremer 51 “HELIA2” | Hull #91
U.S. Duty Paid
The Ultimate Family CruiserOwner’s Version | 3 Staterooms | 2 Heads
HELIA2 stands apart from most examples of her model, featuring two of the three primary structural upgrade options offered by Outremer: carbon bulkheads and a composite compression beam. Both materially enhance rigidity, reduce weight, and improve offshore performance, and are among the most significant structural options available from the builder.
She was launched in La Grande-Motte, France in January 2022. Her original owners, skilled and experienced cruisers, took delivery in March 2022 and began sailing the Mediterranean Sea before crossing the Atlantic as part of the ARC Rally.
She was purchased in March 2024 by her current owners, experienced offshore sailors who have continued cruising her extensively. HELIA2 has since sailed from the Caribbean to New England and, following a winter refit in Charleston, South Carolina during 2024 to 2025, continued sailing through the Caribbean in Fall 2025 and Winter 2026. She is currently on her way to the U.S. East Coast and remains actively maintained and in cruising condition for her next passage.
Already known as one of the best performance cruising catamarans on the market, HELIA2 is well equipped with upgrades that make her not only a fast sailing yacht, but also highly self-sufficient with a comfortable living environment.
Recent Upgrades (2024 to 2026) Include:
Advanced Hybrid Electrical System (2025)Significant upgrade featuring a dedicated 24V lithium storage bank paired with a high-output alternator and full Victron integration for faster charging, improved redundancy, and offshore energy independence.
