Story by Paco Montaner / November 20, 2024
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.

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.
