About
OUTREMER 45
Performance, Pedigree, and Comfort
Delphine is a winner! She won her division at the inaugural Caribbean Multihull Challenge in St Marten and twice won the catamaran division in Grenada Sailing week. Light displacement, narrow hulls and daggerboards allow for impressive speeds, even in light winds.
The cockpit is well-protected for safe sailing in open water and comfort at anchor. The salon and nav station occupy the light, airy main living area. The u-shaped settee has overstuffed cushions and large dining table for entertaining. She has a unique layout with a huge galley down in the aft starboard cabin. An ample double stainless steel sink keeps things tidy. Any chef will admire the privacy, the amount of counter space for prep work and the storage arrangement. There is a twin bunk midships and a single cabin forward. The port side is the owner's space and includes a fresh water, electric head.
The Gerard Danson designs are considered by some to be the perfect combination of speed and comfort .The long slender hulls track very well and enable good speeds on passages a steady 8-10 is not unusual and the upper teens have been achieved with out fuss. The Outremer 45 is one of the most popular, sought after models on the used market.
Thrilling under sail and comfortable at anchor. What more do you need?
Delphine is a very well cared for sailing machine to be enjoyed by the adventurous sailor.

Message from the Owner
When we purchased Delphine a thorough refit of key elements of the boat was done including taking the hull down to gelcoat (below waterline and coat it with west epoxy.) New bushings for the rudders were installed ( spare set on board). The sail drives taken apart and rebuilt including the membranes, the fuel tanks emptied and cleaned as well as new fuel and water pumps .After the initial baseline work was done we continued to improve the boat each year as needed/wanted this included ,engine controls the fitting of the serpentine belts ,new mixing elbows the 120 amp alternators(2019) with serpentine belts and balmar regulators, and the rebuild of the windlass (2020) .
The engines are flushed with fresh water after haul out and the oil is changed every year even of the hours don’t require it . The outboard is serviced every year and stored in a climate controlled location along with the tender. New sails were bent on at time of purchase and are stored in a climate controlled environment for the nine months of the year they are not in use .sun covers that are a godsend while at anchor and the back screen (2022).
One of the reasons that Delphine looks so good is the fact that it has a custom storage cover that is also stored in climate controlled area.the running rigging was changed at this time. We have continued to improve Delphine with updated electronics, including chart plotter , vesper x8000 Ais ,speed depth and wind , programable dual voltage 60 amp charger victron solar controllers ,smart shunt 1200 watt 110 inverter and battery monitor. We also put on a new auto helm pump in 2022 and new ACR relays last year. The upgraded solar array on a tilting custom rack ,now sends 960 watts of charging into the NEVER used Victron lithium 300 amp hour battery bank. This amount of power lets us make toast in the morning, water all day ice as needed and keeps the custom fitted Engle drinks cooler in cockpit running. My wife also uses a blow drier. She also likes the freshwater electric flush head. The 230 volt inverter runs the the washing machine.
Other work done has been the solid handrails from stern to shrouds the inner stern cleats with stainless gussets for Med mooring ,passeral locators on the transoms custom swing out mount for chart plotter , receptacles for accepting both 110/230 .
Changes inside include new freezer location ,mahogany library with drawer for charts ( yes I still use them) drawers in each hull forward ,medicine cabinet ,covers for electric winches , and dropdown cutlery drawers in galley (I made them) I also fit the dyneema front net ,re bedded the acrylic on all the hatches ,changed the self tacking system to something the works .
In the cocpit we built a locker for an Engle drinks cooler which will freeze if needed, turn wet lockers in to dry and fitted a teak grate in front of companionway . The chain locker was made bigger to accept the 180 feet of chain . The hatch over what we call our bunk was increased in size (2020).
The copper coat bottom paint works well and was well worth the money.
This work was all done and continues to be done by licensed professionals on Grenada .
In short instead of one big refit we have made improvements every year . Including 2023 when the standing rigging was all changed and the new lithium was fitted .
A final note in the 12 years we owned her 4 of those seasons she never hit the water and the other 8 were 3 month stints . That is why I suggest the sails are in very good condition along with the canvas etc.
Sailing History
After we purchased the yacht I was looking at a 2004 copy of Multihull international and saw our boat on the cover, the article inside stated that she had one that years ARC. I had seen her previous owner sailing it near Bequia years before and had admired her then. My wife and sailed her up the Caribbean from as far as Anguilla with stops all along the way. She is a comfortable boat for cruising with a deep safe cockpit is easily handled by two and has enough creature comforts for cruising .We also won our division at the inaugural Caribbean Multihull Challenge in St Marten and twice won our division in Grenada Sailing week .
Delphine is a wonderful sailing boat that turns heads everywhere we go and has treated us well during the 12 years and 5000 miles we have sailed her, safe ,strong and fast enough for most sailors.
She was built by sailors for sailors and will take you wherever you may wish.

Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
Absolutely THE ONLY company to use for buying or selling a catamaran! Our Broker Andrew Hodgdon, was excellent to work with, an experienced catamaran captain with extensive knowledge of sailing catamarans, the ins and outs of the construction, performance, systems, everything involved and life on board catamarans. All of which is invaluable in looking for the right boat for someone to buy or helping market your boat when selling. The Multihull Company is so connected in the catamaran world and used by so many catamaran sailors and searchers that we had an interested buyer before our boat was even listed and a completed sale 60 days after her first showing!!! Thanks Andrew and all of the Multihull team who worked diligently to make it happen so smoothly!
We had a great experience working with Andrew! He was extremely knowledgeable and listened to our needs of what we wanted our next boat to be. He responded quickly to all of our requests and got us to the finish line. Working with Multihull was seamless and we highly recommend using Andrew and Multihull.
