About
This is a must see vessel for anybody contemplating the purchase of a large, performance cruising catamaran!
A truly impressive boat, the DH550 is an innovative design - reflecting the best of current trends in multihull thinking. The product of the collaboration of two world class designer/builder/ yachtsmen - this is a state-of-the-art design, combining efficient hull shapes, a practical, efficient deck/rig layout, and a well designed interior (large, open, practical and useable). The result? A boat with the ability to make fast passages - with a rig which is easily handled by a short-handed crew - and an interior that is remarkably comfortable. In short - a fine blend of looks, performance and live ability.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
The DH 550 utilizes a powerful, easily handled rig, with a shoal draft keel and high bridgedeck clearance, to produce a boat designed for passage making.
Modern, wood/epoxy construction is utilized, to achieve superior stiffness, strength and impact resistance. Top quality Okoume plywood, and epoxy saturation is used in the hulls, with Western Red Cedar used in the stringers. Brazilian Mahogany is used in structural areas, because of its superior hardness and strength. There is also reinforcing fiberglass and Epoxy used in structural areas to beef up the high stress areas resulting in a remarkably stiff and strong vessel.
ACCOMMODATIONS
A comfortable, world class blue water cruiser, “Friends Forever” has accommodations for six, in a three cabin, owner’s layout.

I chose Zee (Zvonimir Kalinic) after posting an ad for a broker on Yacht Sales from about 15 other brokers because he showed professionalism and care right away compared to the others. Most of the brokers never intended to show people my boat but yet somehow expected to collect commission. Zee met me in Novigrad and spent 3 hours taking photos and drone footage and throughout the listing period was communicating continuously and advising me about any offers that came through. His service was at a high standard that I was extremely happy with and felt comfortable at all times especially since I’m in Sydney and my boat is in Montenegro. I can’t recommend Zee highly enough to anyone looking to sell their boat with peace of mind.
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.
