Construction of the Ocean Renegade R6 is well advanced, with the catamaran’s deck now installed. This new model has been created in response to the aspirations of certain customers who like the R5 (see test and video in our Special Edition #18 Forever Green) but wishing to have an even bigger platform.
The deck plan features two cockpits: the forward one is well recessed, and is dedicated to sailing maneuvers, while aft, 12 crew can settle in comfortably. Innovations include a davit system integrated with a modular aft bench, and seats fixed to the hulls, athwartships.
The R6 will have an even more sophisticated steering system than the R5 and will be equipped with fully electric sail maneuvers - including for easing the sheets - and all with remote control. With a displacement just shy of 31,000 pounds, a 76.7-foot (23.4 m) carbon mast and 1,856 square feet (172.43 m²) of upwind sail area - a ratio of 12.32 m²/t - the R6 will be able to sail in most conditions and provide efficient hydro generation via the two 25 kW Torqeedo Deep Blue motors. The top of the coachroof and bimini is of course exploited by solar panels (8,400 Wp).
Inside, the huge galley can accommodate 4 people at its bar. The sofa in the saloon room can be accompanied by a dining table or a coffee table. The R6 has 3 cabins, all of which have king-size beds and private bathrooms with separate showers. The starboard owner's hull includes a separate aft cabin that can be configured as a fully equipped office or wine cellar.
