About
Hull 9 of the Gunboat 55, Starship's decks and hull were constructed utilizing epoxy-infused carbon and corecell foam cores by Gunboat in 2015. Two years later, in 2017, she was finished by Croswait Composites in Wanchese, North Carolina. This 55 was commissioned with ease-of-use and safety in mind, with a focus on owner-operability. While she ticks off the miles with ease and comfort, her systems and sail plan were designed to provide her owners with the ultimate safe yet sprightly cruiser. Starship's long waterline alongside a modest beam result in a very stable, agreeable motion underway in any conditions. Her centerboards offer a minimum draft of 3'8", allowing entry to the most any depth-challenged destination, and their maximum draft of 9'2" provide maximum upwind performance. These centerboards are line-controlled, and in the event of grounding, allow the centerboard to simply retract into it's casing, minimizing the risk of damage beyond line replacement.

Excellent communication.
We had a great purchasing experience with The Multihull Company. Got us into the boat we really wanted, our broker Josie was amazing, she walked us through the entire process, negotiated the deal we wanted and gave us great advice throughout. If you are looking to purchase a boat we can’t recommend them enough.
It’s been a few weeks now and the dust has settled. We had a great experience with the Multihull Company and in particular our broker, Caroline Laviolette. Caroline was happy to share her knowledge of the market and the catamarans we were interested in purchasing. She was patient and thorough as we looked at several boats in SE Florida, helped us narrow our search and eventually purchase a beautiful 2017 Lagoon 42. Many thanks to the team at The Multihull Company!
We had a great experience purchasing our boat with Will Miller as a buyers agent. Purchasing our first large Cat is a daunting experience and Will was able to walk us through the process with ease. Will was very straight forward and constantly gave us honest feedback as well as finding and pointing out details on all the boats that we may not have noticed or thought about.
We had a great experience and would use them again.
I would specifically recommend a buyers agent when purchasing to help weed through a lot of problems and misrepresented boats on the market.
We have had great experiences with the Multihull company. We both sold our old boat through them, and bought our new boat through them. I have to say that Will Miller is top-notch, and Riley was great as our broker for selling our O day 39. when you buy a Salt or Boat through them, I feel like you are not only clients, but you are friends. The lines of communication were always open and we were always informed of everything going on.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
