About
The Swiss Cat 45 is handcrafted in a small yard in the south of France where only a few semi-custom cats are built each year. The hulls and deck are constructed in glass/epoxy over foam core sandwich; bulkheads and chainplates are carbon. There are very few yards in Europe today that build cruising boats to such a high standard using combinations of epoxy and carbon. This puts the Swiss Cat 45 in a quality class of its own that its peers simply cannot match. The epoxy build confers the necessary stiffness to the hulls and platform to get the most from the carbon mast, high-tech sails and deck hardware. All of this translates into performance underway and longevity.
The carbon mast and boom are by Southern Spars, the standing rigging is Kevlar. The running rigging is Spectra and she has a full suit of sails including main, staysail, genoa and gennaker.
Tali is an owner version with a 3 cabin and 2 head layout. She has had three owners and has never chartered.The quality of construction carries over to the interior finishes - Wenge floors, corian countertops, lacquered cabinets and alcantara fabrics. The cabinets and furniture are built at the factory. This is no IKEA finish nor ready-made, subcontracted modules that are found in so many production cats today.
The brokerage team has been amazing. They helped me find the right catamaran for our family of four, with enough space for extended family and friends to stay with us anytime. The broker really helped me narrow down what I needed. I started with a long list and eventually narrowed it down to something that was the right fit and price for me.
I cannot speak too highly of Andrew Hodgdon and his colleagues at the Multihull Company.
The process of selling my boat was very smooth and well managed and with excellent communication – especially important as I was unable to be nearby during the sale process. Andrew’s deep knowledge of the market and my boat was very reassuring. We spoke regularly and he kept me closely advised all the way through to a happy sale. I found him a good guy, very helpful, willing to share and bounce ideas around, and I enjoyed working with him. Highly recommended!
Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company are really professional! I just closed a deal with them, and everything was pretty smooth. Andrew was punctual, showed a lot of expertise, and he was honest about all the problems with the boat. He is also giving me the support I need to run all the projects on this boat. This whole process was much better than I was expecting, and I recommend this team! Thank you, Andrew.
The multihull company, specifically Andrew Hodgson worked with me in the sale of Gods Grace, a 50’ Voyage 500. They made sure that as many people as possible touched it, laid hands on it, ultimately resulting in a offer and sale and was extremely helpful in the prep and sale process as I did not live locally… If you want to make sure that people actually see your vessel, will be honest and truly assist you in the sale, Andrew is the man for the job.
