From Mono to Multihull

Story by Andrew Holland / November 20, 2024

TMC Broker, Paco Montaner, assists clients in transitioning from monohull life to sailing a catamaran in the Caribbean.

The greatest part of working in the yachting industry is witnessing the dreams become a reality for our clients. Watching a family give new life to a multihull through their exotic adventures is a thrill like no other. Our client feature this week comes to you from the Caribbean, aboard the newly purchased 2019 Leopard 40 “Mahvic IV”.

TMC Broker, Captain Paco Montaner, has been working with clients Luis and Stefi through their experience of transitioning from monohull to catamaran life. The couple embarked on an incredible journey, leaving the coast of Spain aboard their Hanse 445 with a dream to circumnavigate the globe. Their adventure took them across the Atlantic, where they crossed paths with broker Paco Montaner at TMC’s Puerto Rico office.

It was then that Paco helped them find the perfect vessel to continue their voyage: a beautiful Leopard 40. With Paco’s expertise, Luis and Stefi soon became the proud new owners of this incredible multihull, ready to set sail on new horizons. Paco has now listed their beloved Hanse 445 “Zinic”, a boat that has carried them far—and one that could be your next adventure.

They are pictured here bidding farewell to their Hanse 445 and hopping aboard their new Leopard 40 to continue on their sailing journey. 

At The Multihull Company, we are sailors helping sailors, driven by a passion to match people with the perfect boat for their dreams. For Luis and Stefi, the Leopard 40 offers more space, improved handling, and enhanced off-grid livability—everything they need to make their journey even more fulfilling.

While their Hanse 445 served them well, the transition to a multihull has opened up a new world of comfort, stability, and adventure. The elegance and practicality of multihulls continue to win the hearts of sailors, offering a lifestyle that’s as much about freedom as it is about the joy of the open water.

Congratulations to Luis and Stephanie! Team TMC wishes you fair winds and smooth seas as you head back into blue waters with a boat that perfectly fits your adventurous lifestyle.

Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company are really professional! I just closed a deal with them, and everything was pretty smooth. Andrew was punctual, showed a lot of expertise, and he was honest about all the problems with the boat. He is also giving me the support I need to run all the projects on this boat. This whole process was much better than I was expecting, and I recommend this team! Thank you, Andrew.

The multihull company, specifically Andrew Hodgson worked with me in the sale of Gods Grace, a 50’ Voyage 500. They made sure that as many people as possible touched it, laid hands on it, ultimately resulting in a offer and sale and was extremely helpful in the prep and sale process as I did not live locally… If you want to make sure that people actually see your vessel, will be honest and truly assist you in the sale, Andrew is the man for the job.

Andrew Hodgdon always goes above and beyond. After several transactions I wouldn’t work with anyone else in the industry.

Andrew at the Multihull Company was our buyer’s broker and he was excellent to work with. He thoroughly explained the purchase process, and helped with many questions along the way. We would definitely use Andrew and Multihull again to buy and sell catamarans and yachts.
