From Mono to Multihull

Story by Andrew Holland / November 20, 2024

TMC Broker, Paco Montaner, assists clients in transitioning from monohull life to sailing a catamaran in the Caribbean.

The greatest part of working in the yachting industry is witnessing the dreams become a reality for our clients. Watching a family give new life to a multihull through their exotic adventures is a thrill like no other. Our client feature this week comes to you from the Caribbean, aboard the newly purchased 2019 Leopard 40 “Mahvic IV”.

TMC Broker, Captain Paco Montaner, has been working with clients Luis and Stefi through their experience of transitioning from monohull to catamaran life. The couple embarked on an incredible journey, leaving the coast of Spain aboard their Hanse 445 with a dream to circumnavigate the globe. Their adventure took them across the Atlantic, where they crossed paths with broker Paco Montaner at TMC’s Puerto Rico office.

It was then that Paco helped them find the perfect vessel to continue their voyage: a beautiful Leopard 40. With Paco’s expertise, Luis and Stefi soon became the proud new owners of this incredible multihull, ready to set sail on new horizons. Paco has now listed their beloved Hanse 445 “Zinic”, a boat that has carried them far—and one that could be your next adventure.

They are pictured here bidding farewell to their Hanse 445 and hopping aboard their new Leopard 40 to continue on their sailing journey. 

At The Multihull Company, we are sailors helping sailors, driven by a passion to match people with the perfect boat for their dreams. For Luis and Stefi, the Leopard 40 offers more space, improved handling, and enhanced off-grid livability—everything they need to make their journey even more fulfilling.

While their Hanse 445 served them well, the transition to a multihull has opened up a new world of comfort, stability, and adventure. The elegance and practicality of multihulls continue to win the hearts of sailors, offering a lifestyle that’s as much about freedom as it is about the joy of the open water.

Congratulations to Luis and Stephanie! Team TMC wishes you fair winds and smooth seas as you head back into blue waters with a boat that perfectly fits your adventurous lifestyle.

Dear Cynthia and Andrew,
I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to both of you and The Multihull Company team for the outstanding job you did in successfully closing the sale of our Excess 14. Despite the challenging environment — including new import tariffs and unique buyer requirements — you navigated everything with professionalism, perseverance, and efficiency.
The transaction was completed smoothly and in good time, which is a true credit to your dedication and expertise. Very well done.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the very best.
Warm regards,

We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon. From the very beginning, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the catamaran we were considering and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. He found us the perfect vessel that matched our needs and budget and negotiated a fantastic deal on our behalf.

What truly set him apart was he responsiveness—every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly, and he guided us through the entire process with professionalism and care. We couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated yacht broker.

The process of selling our boat was made very smooth by the Multihull Company and Andrew Hodgdon in particular. Andrew helped us navigate the selling process including moving our boat from Grenada to Florida to execute the sale. We would recommend working with this company, and Andrew Hodgdon in particular, without hesitation.
