2022 Outremer 51 HELIA2 | Hull #91
U.S. Duty Paid
The Ultimate Family Cruiser
Owners Version | 3 Staterooms | 2 Heads
HELIA2 stands apart from most examples of her model, featuring two of the three primary structural upgrade options offered by Outremer - carbon bulkheads and a composite compression beam. Both materially enhance rigidity, reduce weight, and improve offshore performance, and are among the most significant structural options available from the builder.
She was launched in La Grande-Motte, France in January 2022. Her original owners, skilled and experienced cruisers, took delivery in March 2022 and began sailing the Mediterranean Sea before crossing the Atlantic as part of the ARC Rally.
She was purchased in March 2024 by her current owners, experienced offshore sailors who have continued cruising her extensively. HELIA2 has since sailed from the Caribbean to New England and, following a winter refit in Charleston, South Carolina during 2024 to 2025, continued sailing through the Caribbean in Fall 2025 and Winter 2026. She is currently on her way to the U.S. East Coast and remains actively maintained and in cruising condition for her next passage.
Already known as one of the best performance cruising catamarans on the market, HELIA2 is well equipped with upgrades that make her not only a fast sailing yacht, but also highly self-sufficient with a comfortable living environment.
Recent Upgrades (2024 to 2026) Include:
September 2026
New standing rigging, Full hull detail, New bottom paint, and sail drive service
Advanced Hybrid Electrical System (2025)
Significant upgrade featuring a dedicated 24V lithium storage bank paired with a high-output alternator and full Victron integration for faster charging, improved redundancy, and offshore energy independence.

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.
