About
The Celtic 40, previously known as the Admiral 40, is a robust Bluewater catamaran engineered to endure challenging open ocean conditions. Beyond its offshore capabilities, Celtic Yachts are designed to be easily managed by a small crew while providing excellent sailing performance and a comfortable living environment. Notable enhancements to the Celtic 40 include a redesigned helm station that facilitates ease of short-handed sailing, a new davit platform, a molded bimini ceiling, redesigned heads, more generously sized forward and aft cabins, increased locker space, extended salon seating, and a wider sliding door opening.
Constructed in South Africa, RONIN was sailed directly from the manufacturing facility to the United States by Tim Duncan, the owner and designer of Celtic Yachts. Her second owners acquired her new at a boat show and subsequently enjoyed several years of cruising on the Chesapeake Bay. Upon acquisition by her current owner, RONIN was equipped for Bluewater sailing, and she subsequently spent two years cruising the Caribbean. If you are considering Leopard catamarans, we encourage you to also consider RONIN. She offers comparable build quality and presents an exceptional value.

SALON
Upon entry, the galley is located to port, complemented by a dinette to starboard. The large side and front windows provides an abundance of natural light as well as a comprehensive view of your surroundings. Additionally, carefully positioned opening hatches and ports allow for effective ventilation and airflow throughout the boat.
A prominent feature of the Celtic 40 is all of the fantastic storage capacity, which is especially important for provisioning for long trips onboard. The redesigned and enlarged sliding door to the cockpit smoothly integrates the interior and exterior areas, maintaining proximity to guests and allowing for continuous appreciation of the anchorage views from within.
The salon has a large U-shaped dinette with beige marine leather upholstery, which offers the advantage of easier maintenance compared to fabric and provides a cool environment when the air conditioning is in use. The front opening cabinets are designed with wooden door fronts in a basket weave pattern, facilitating air circulation and preventing mildew.
Additional features include:
GALLEY
The well-appointed galley offers exceptional functionality and features the same ample and easily accessible storage solutions present throughout the salon. Its placement within view of the helm facilitates enhanced communication and provides a clear visual connection between the captain at the helm and whomever is inside.
Additional features include:
HULL LAYOUT
The port and starboard hulls each offer a layout comprising two cabins and one head, resulting in a total of four cabins and two heads. The large salon windows ensures ample natural light and ventilation throughout the hulls.
The two aft cabins are equipped with substantial athwartship berths, measuring approximately 7’2″ by 6’6″, which is comparable to a king-size bed. The two forward cabins feature double beds, sized at 6’3″ by 4’7″, offering versatility for various configurations. This adaptability allows for potential use as additional storage space or even a compact workshop if not needed for sleeping accommodations.
Each cabin provides generous storage for personal items and clothing. The front-opening cabinets are designed with wooden door fronts in a basket weave pattern, promoting air circulation and inhibiting mildew growth. Air conditioning is ducted into the starboard aft cabin. Furthermore, newly installed fans are present in the remaining cabins to enhance ventilation. The port aft cabin includes a radio separate from the vessel’s primary audio system.
Both heads are fitted with a separate shower, a sink basin with storage underneath, and a full-length mirrored locker. Both heads are electric flush, with the starboard head having been newly installed in 2022.
Cockpit / Deck
The remarkable amount of indoor and outdoor space afforded by a catamaran presents a significant advantage over a monohull. Beyond the expansive cockpit, the foredeck, featuring large trampolines and integrated seating, creates an ideal setting for enjoying evening sunsets. The wide and open side decks facilitate an unobstructed passage from the bow to the stern, even while the vessel is underway. The redesigned davit platform makes boarding the dinghy easy and enhances the flow of movement within the cockpit. This configuration is particularly well-suited for accommodating large groups or those traveling with pets. The starboard helm offers excellent forward visibility and a clear view of all corners of the vessel during docking maneuvers.

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.
