The ORC 52.2 embodies a new era for ORC, where performance and aesthetics meet to offer an unparalleled sailing experience. Thanks to the expertise of Darnet Design®, this model features a completely redesigned interior, combining warmth, elegance, and functionality.
A reinvented interior design
Renowned for his innovative and refined approach, Franck Darnet has brought a touch of sophistication aboard the ORC 52.2. Far from being a mere aesthetic enhancement, the work done aims to create a welcoming and ergonomic atmosphere without compromising the catamaran’s outstanding performance.
"I was quite familiar with the ORC 50 before the shipyard was taken over by the Grand Large Group. These are exceptional catamarans: their lines, their behavior at sea, and their ability to sail fast are simply remarkable! The saloon and cockpit space were already quite satisfying, but it’s true that the interior design needed a touch to make the boat more appealing, a little less 'raw'.
I believe that, with the help of the shipyard and architects, we have succeeded in making these boats warmer and more ergonomic—in other words, much more pleasant to live in. The challenge was not simple, as we nearly managed to add weight to the whole. The goal was, of course, to maintain the same performance while adding visual and real comfort to the living spaces.
We paid particular attention to the choice of fabrics and materials to make the whole interior more refined. Significant work was also done on the lighting. We adjusted certain dimensions to improve the ergonomics of both the interior and the cockpit. Finally, the cabins were not neglected: we took great care in their storage, finishes, and openness to the outside. In summary, a new ORC is born!”

A harmony between performance and comfort
The new ORC 52.2 retains the DNA of ORC: fast, seaworthy, and designed for long-distance cruising. But it now offers an additional dimension with an interior that captivates as much with its aesthetics as with its functional intelligence.
The choice of materials, the optimized space layout, and the work on lighting transform every moment on board into an experience of ultimate comfort. The saloon and cockpit gain in conviviality, while the cabins have been meticulously designed in terms of storage and openness to the outside.
