About
SV Annie - 2010 Fountaine Pajot Orana 44 “Maestro version”
It is for us a pleasure to represent what the owner genuinely believes is "now a much better boat than when we bought her." After three years of meticulous upgrades and two successful Pacific crossings to Fiji, Annie represents exceptional value for the discerning cruiser.
The Owner's Passion Project
Since purchasing Annie in November 2022, her current owner has systematically transformed her into a premium blue water cruiser. His philosophy has been simple: invest in quality upgrades that enhance both safety and comfort. With only 10 hours on the comprehensively reconditioned engines, he's confident they're "good for at least 3,000 hours."
The complete engines rebuild in July 2025 tells the story perfectly – while the port engine was internally sound (requiring new cushion plates, heat exchanger, and seals), the starboard engine received the full treatment: rebore, new pistons, rings, and head plane. This attention to detail characterizes every aspect of the owner's approach.
A Complete Sail Wardrobe
The owner has equipped Annie with all new sails since 2022: mainsail (2023), genoa, spinnaker, Code Zero, and storm jib. Having sailed extensively in Pacific conditions, he understands that reliable sails are non-negotiable for serious offshore cruising.
Systems Upgraded Throughout
What impresses me most is the systematic approach to upgrades:
- topsides have been completely refurbished and wrapped, so Annie is looking like a new boat
- New Victron AGM house batteries (880Ah, 2024) with fresh starting batteries
- Updated solar system with smart controllers and app monitoring
- Rudder bearings replaced and quadrants reconditioned (new keyways machined)
- New electric toilet (2023)
- Remote anchor control at the helm station for easy single-handed operation and reconditioned anchor windlass
- New LED lighting throughout and fresh cockpit cushion foam
- Dyneema running rigging where required – a quality choice for longevity
- New plastic fuel tanks as the old aluminium ones were corroded
Proven Pacific Performance
The owner's two successful Fiji voyages demonstrate Annie's blue water credentials. At 8 knots cruise speed on both engines or 6.5 knots on one, she's economical yet capable. The 400L fuel capacity combined with efficient Volvo D2-40s means excellent range.
The owners' version layout provides genuine comfort with three spacious double cabins and 1.85-1.95m headroom throughout – important for taller crew members (the owner himself is 1.90m and confirms there's never any feeling of being cramped).
Safety Without Compromise
The owner upgraded Annie to Cat 1 standard in May 2025 with a new 6-person liferaft and fresh safety equipment including dan buoy.
Self-Sufficient Cruising
The Aqua Base watermaker (180L/hr) and 825W solar array with 9.5KVA Onan generator mean unlimited anchoring. The owner's thoughtful additions like the espresso machine and Bosch washing machine show his understanding of long-term liveaboard comfort.
Ready for New Owners
The owner's decision to sell hasn't been easy – Annie has clearly been more than just a boat to him. His systematic approach to maintenance and upgrades means the next owners will inherit a vessel that's been thoughtfully prepared for extended cruising.
Currently in Marsden Cove Marina(Registration NZ2363, tax paid), Annie represents a rare opportunity to acquire a comprehensively upgraded blue water catamaran without the years of work typically required.

Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
Absolutely THE ONLY company to use for buying or selling a catamaran! Our Broker Andrew Hodgdon, was excellent to work with, an experienced catamaran captain with extensive knowledge of sailing catamarans, the ins and outs of the construction, performance, systems, everything involved and life on board catamarans. All of which is invaluable in looking for the right boat for someone to buy or helping market your boat when selling. The Multihull Company is so connected in the catamaran world and used by so many catamaran sailors and searchers that we had an interested buyer before our boat was even listed and a completed sale 60 days after her first showing!!! Thanks Andrew and all of the Multihull team who worked diligently to make it happen so smoothly!
We had a great experience working with Andrew! He was extremely knowledgeable and listened to our needs of what we wanted our next boat to be. He responded quickly to all of our requests and got us to the finish line. Working with Multihull was seamless and we highly recommend using Andrew and Multihull.
