About

UNIVERSE is a rare and exciting opportunity for anyone who is looking for that performance orientated vessel that also offers comfortable living. As a fully customized performance cruiser that has been meticulously maintained and lovingly upgraded, UNIVERSE is a must see!
The current and second owners of UNIVERSE purchased the vessel in 2019 and spent 2019/2020 cruising the BVI's and surrounding areas, during this time they became intimately familiar with the vessel and later in 2020 sailed the vessel to Fort Lauderdale where they customized the vessel into a truly spectacular home, incorporating their knowledge to transform UNIVERSE from a fairly "entry level" outfitted vessel into a killer performance cruiser with extensive remodeling, from interior quality of life alterations to significant performance upgrades like extending the hulls. Through the upgrades the owners were careful to pay close attention to maintaining the core performance for which the Schionning is known. For every pound added something was removed, in keeping with the lightweight design of the boat.UNIVERSE has been in continual use with constant upgrades and system tweaking to ensure the vessel is always at its best. At last haulout in Fort Lauderdale the reported weight was 8.4 metric tons.
Universe was built in the Netherlands by PreCat VOF. The hull is constructed with an Airex foam core and fiberglass, using vacuum infusion with epoxy resin. Carbon fiber components such as the davits and cross beams, both forward and aft also add to the lightweight, rigid and solid structure of the vessel.
What better way to cruise than on a lightweight performance vessel, with amazing upgrades including many that are missing from so many performance vessels such as:

  • Mabru Air-conditioning
  • Victron Lithium-Ion batteries
  • Solar 2.2kW
  • B&G electronics
  • 3Di North sails
  • and the list goes on......
Due to the extensive improvements, additional information and media are available on request.

Working with Andrew Hodgdon at The MultiHull Company was a great experience. Andrew has years of experience in the multihull market, especially performence catamarans and was the Technical Director at Balance Catamarans for many years. He’s always available to talk, guide and advise. He’s easy to work with, is extremely knowledgeable, and has a very pleasant way about him. I would highly recommend Andrew to help in your sale or purchase of any multihull.

Working with Will, Andrew Holland and Andrew Hodgdon to sell my Balance 442 was such a pleasure. No one knows multihulls as well as Andrew Hodgdon, especially performance cats like a Balance. As Technical Director of Balance for many years, Andrew knows all of the nuances of that type of boat, as well as the other brands in the category. If you want to sell or buy a catamaran, look no further than Andrew Hodgdon!
