About

Forlo is Panama flagged and is not offered for sale to U.S. residents while in U.S. waters.

The Kelsall KSS 58 is a high-performance cruising catamaran designed by renowned multihull innovator Derek Kelsall, showcasing his signature Kelsall Swiftbuild System (KSS) for lightweight strength and efficient construction. Its sleek, wave-piercing hulls and refined hydrodynamics provide a smooth, stable ride offshore, making it equally capable for passagemaking or fast coastal cruising.

Above deck, the KSS 58 features a spacious and functional layout with wide side decks, a large cockpit for entertaining, and excellent visibility from the helm. The design emphasizes indoor-outdoor living, with seamless flow between the cockpit and saloon. Inside, the yacht offers generous accommodations, typically including multiple cabins with ensuite heads, a well-appointed galley, and a bright, airy salon enhanced by panoramic windows. Every detail reflects a focus on comfort without compromising performance.

Whether owner-operated or crewed, the Kelsall KSS 58 stands out as a versatile bluewater cruiser that blends cutting-edge construction with practical livability. It appeals to experienced sailors seeking speed and efficiency, as well as those looking for a comfortable long-range platform capable of extended cruising in style.

Key features include: Boom Furling, New Mainsail, 2 Gensets, Air Conditioning, 160hp Engines (both replaced)

We take pride in our happy customers

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.

— Dana Mulay

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.

— Chris Duckworth

Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎

— Corbin Massey

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.

— Derek Schroeder

Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.

— David Anderson
