About
Hull 9 of the Gunboat 55, Starship's decks and hull were constructed utilizing epoxy-infused carbon and corecell foam cores by Gunboat in 2015. Two years later, in 2017, she was finished by Croswait Composites in Wanchese, North Carolina. This 55 was commissioned with ease-of-use and safety in mind, with a focus on owner-operability. While she ticks off the miles with ease and comfort, her systems and sail plan were designed to provide her owners with the ultimate safe yet sprightly cruiser. Starship's long waterline alongside a modest beam result in a very stable, agreeable motion underway in any conditions. Her centerboards offer a minimum draft of 3'8", allowing entry to the most any depth-challenged destination, and their maximum draft of 9'2" provide maximum upwind performance. These centerboards are line-controlled, and in the event of grounding, allow the centerboard to simply retract into it's casing, minimizing the risk of damage beyond line replacement.

Dear Cynthia and Andrew,
I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to both of you and The Multihull Company team for the outstanding job you did in successfully closing the sale of our Excess 14. Despite the challenging environment — including new import tariffs and unique buyer requirements — you navigated everything with professionalism, perseverance, and efficiency.
The transaction was completed smoothly and in good time, which is a true credit to your dedication and expertise. Very well done.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the very best.
Warm regards,
Jurgen
We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon. From the very beginning, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the catamaran we were considering and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. He found us the perfect vessel that matched our needs and budget and negotiated a fantastic deal on our behalf.
What truly set him apart was he responsiveness—every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly, and he guided us through the entire process with professionalism and care. We couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated yacht broker.
Awesome company that worked as my brokerage on purchasing out FP catamaran. A special shoutout to Will Miller for walking us through the process
The process of selling our boat was made very smooth by the Multihull Company and Andrew Hodgdon in particular. Andrew helped us navigate the selling process including moving our boat from Grenada to Florida to execute the sale. We would recommend working with this company, and Andrew Hodgdon in particular, without hesitation.
Very smooth process. Chuck was great and very knowledgeable about the whole process. Im happy to have had TMC to take care of all the things i didnt know about.
