About

ALCYONE, a 2004 Outremer 55 Light, is Hull No. 26, one of the last five 55 Lights built and the final hull completed during the lifetime of Outremer's founder, Gérard Danson. She benefited from the lessons learned on the twenty five boats built before her, including reinforced aft beam and daggerboard cases, an improved cockpit layout and careful weight saving throughout the build.

Purchased in New Zealand in 2017, ALCYONE underwent a comprehensive two year refit in Whangarei, with her rigging, sails, engines, electronics and safety equipment methodically renewed, before her current owners.

Her low volume, low displacement hulls and solid polyester and vinylester laminate construction give her both speed and a well earned reputation for robustness, while her sacrificial mini keels protect the propellers and rudders from grounding damage without compromising performance. Her generous payload capacity allows for the comprehensive, self sufficient inventory detailed in this document, without ever weighing down her sailing qualities.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Twin Yanmar 3JH5 diesel engines (39 hp, 2011, 2,700 hours) with shaft drives, Flexofold 3 blade folding propellers and dual Balmar 165A alternators (2017)
  • Doyle NZ 77m² Dacron mainsail (2017, 6 battens, friction ring reefing) and Calibre NZ 34m² self tacking jib in Hydranet (2019)
  • Marshall/Quantum 98m² Code 0 (2017) on a Profurl N52 furler (2021), plus a spare self tacking jib and a Doyle Tourmentin storm jib
  • 600 Ah house battery bank (2024) with 800 W of solar power and dual Victron inverters
  • Dessalator Freedom 60 L/h watermaker (panel 2021)
  • Hydraulic autopilot with an independent Course Master backup autopilot, B&G Vulcan chartplotter and Broadband radar
  • Starlink Mini and Iridium GO, plus a backup SSB with Pactor modem
  • Rocna 33 kg anchor with 60 m of chain and a Lofrans Tigre 1500 W electric windlass (2024)
  • Highfield 3.60 m aluminium and PVC tender with a 15 hp Yamaha Enduro outboard (2021), a 2 hp spare, and a portable E Wincher electric handle

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.
