HAMMERHEAD does it all! Incredible performance, shallow draft, excellent accommodation, all in the same boat. She is a sailor's boat. Simple interior and systems maintain low overall weight and great performance.
Single and short handed sailing is easy with this trimaran. All sail controls lead to the secure midship cockpit. In ocean conditions her motion through the water is extremely comfortable.

“Flying Fish” History
“FLYING FISH combines exceptional sailing performance, shallow draft versatility, offshore capability, and comfortable accommodations in one remarkably efficient cruising trimaran.
Designed by renowned multihull designer Chris White and professionally built by Charlie Pingree at Banks Cove Boatworks, Flying Fish was constructed to Chris White’s design scantlings using WEST System epoxy throughout. The vessel has benefited from continuous professional maintenance and thoughtful upgrades by her builder-owner since launch.
Flying Fish regularly cruises at 8–9 knots under sail and is capable of speeds exceeding 20 knots. Under power, her Yanmar 51 hp diesel drives the boat comfortably at 8 knots while consuming approximately 1.3 gallons per hour, providing a cruising range of approximately 500 nautical miles.
Many experienced sailors consider the Hammerhead 54 one of Chris White’s finest designs, combining exhilarating performance with remarkable comfort and ease of handling.

We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.
We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.
We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.
Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.
The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.
What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.
Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.
We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.
I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.

Broad estimate by TMC based on the listing's published equipment, typical installed costs for this size of boat, and yard rates in the selected region.
