Additional Information
Owners Comments:
In 2009 Kari Bela underwent a major refit at Sailcraft Marine, Oriental, North Carolina. The hull was extended both fore and aft. The traditional Dean Bow was fairly rounded and surfing down big ocean swells once you reached the speed of 16/17 knots there would be a “push back” effect. The bows were “sharpened” to get around this. A fixed teak bowsprit was added with two permanent furling systems for the screechers.
Kari Bela was designed for blue water cruising which by implication means you are going down wind and the two screechers and whisker pole gave her the ability to goose wing very effectively. The railings were modified on the bows and additional netting added to give easier access to the furlers. At the same time the jib and mainsails were replaced and I moved to a behind the mast furling system using vertical batons. This gave us the ability to be flexible in our reefing and is ideal for short-handed blue water cruising as the reefing can be carried out from the cockpit and doesn’t require the boat turning into the wind and is a lot easier. The masthead was shortened from 68ft to 63.5ft to enable us to utilize the inter-coastal waterway.
During that refit the sugar scoops were extended as dive platforms and railings added. The Dean traditionally lacked buoyance aft and she tended to drag her bottom a little bit. The modifications were designed to overcome that tendency and to improve access to and from the water.
To be able to log 200miles a day either under sail or engine. The engines have been upgraded to 50 horse (turbo) Yanmar and added large gori folding props. The forward hatches were modified and four 100 liter aluminum tanks were added with a fuel transfer pump to the main tank taking total fuel capacity to 1,000 liters.
Sailcraft built a new system for supporting the dinghy off the aft deck rather than rely on a simple hoist based system,. We installed two dinghy supports which swivel outwards to allow the dinghy to be lowered between them and installed clip on netting between the supports and on the sides. The dinghy supports are linked and supported by the aft rigging shrouds. This provides an additional “sunbathing” platform and an ideal platform for getting kit on and off the boat.
All sails roller-furling and reefing can be done from the safety of the cockpit.

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb
I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.
Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.
Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.
I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.
Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
