GILLI GIRL, a 2022 Knysna 500SE, brings a distinctive sense of style and comfort to life under sail. A privately owned, never chartered 3-cabin Owner’s Version, GILLI GIRL combines a beautifully curated interior, generous cruising comforts, and an ocean-crossing pedigree that makes her the most capable, well-maintained, and turnkey Knysna on the market.
Originally delivered from the shipyard in South Africa, GILLI GIRL crossed the Atlantic on her own bottom before cruising through the Caribbean and up the U.S. East Coast to New York. Since then she has since sailed seasonally between the Northeast and the Florida Keys, logging thousands of miles along the way. Showcased at both the 2023 and 2024 Annapolis Sailboat Shows, GILLI GIRL’s presentation reflects her owners’ disciplined maintenance and attention to detail.
A 24V Mastervolt lithium battery bank, expansive solar array, five-sail North Sails inventory, and full Garmin electronics package support a safe and comfortable boat for cruising off-grid. Recent updates include a new hull wrap in 2026, replacement of the starboard rudder bearings, and several new solar panels just to name a few.
Inside, high-end galley appliances, thoughtfully selected finishes, and designer tableware, linens, and flooring create a cohesive space that feels like a luxury home on the water. For buyers seeking a well-equipped cruising catamaran with an interior that stands apart from any Knysna on earth, GILLI GIRL deserves a closer look.
GILLI GIRL is available for private showings by appointment during the Annapolis Sailboat Show before sailing south to Florida for the fall/winter season.

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.

More About MultihullAnswer a few quick questions for your number. Every answer is saved to your Buyer Profile, so every boat on the site is priced for you.
A TMC buyer's broker will send line-by-line costs, what to check at survey, and how this boat compares with others that fit your plan.
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. Not a survey, a quote or the listing broker's representation, and not a substitute for a professional marine survey. Verify all equipment and condition through a survey before you buy. Delivery, freight and financing figures are estimates; your broker confirms them.
