About
Red Beans is just back from a winter in the Bahamas!This 3 cabin/2 head boat is ready to go cruising again.Over the past 18 years, the current owner has made several trips on Red Beans from his hometown in NY to Exuma.He spent many of those years living aboard Red Beans in the Exumas. Since returning to NY the owner has been removing his personal items and making the boat tidy.Red Beans is ready to start your next adventure!
Red Beans is a great cruising catamaran that offers a balance of live aboard comfort with sailing performance.An air draft of 57 allows transit of the ICW, but also enough sail area to power the boat in light winds. The sail wardrobe consists of a new full batten main sail, roller furling head sails (recently reconditioned), stay sail, and a spinnaker.Two large anchors, a powerful windlass, and lots of chain/rode keep this cat safely anchored in strong blows.The cockpit is secure, yet comfortable and is an ideal place to keep kids or pets safe while sailing.There is a new bimini providing plenty of shade.A BBQ and plenty of seating makes the cockpit a great place to lounge while at anchor.Rounding out the exterior are secure davits with integrated solar panels and wind generator that hold the RIB with 15hp outboard.
Red Beans interior offers a beautiful combination of natural light, varnished wood, and opening hatches/ports for ventilation.The bridge deck cabin offers large U shaped seating with ample table space to feed the crew plus guests.To starboard is a navigation area that provides a large chart table, vhf, and electrical panel.
The port hull has a single cabin aft, galley amidships, master cabin forward, and head in the bow.Of note is the large stainless food prep area and sink, 3 burner propane cooktop and oven.The galley is a great space for those who enjoy eating well while living afloat!
The starboard hull has a utility room aft that houses the hot water heater, inverter, charger, and space for tool storage. Amidships is a large workspace and plenty of storage for spares.Forward is a master cabin and head/shower in the bow.
Although not common on this side of the world, Simpson is a highly regarded naval architect from Australia.Simpson Designs are known to produce practical yet efficient multihulls.The hulls are constructed via the strip plank method using Durakore, System 3 Epoxy, and 18oz bi-directional fiberglass.The original owner/builder sold the boat after a trip to the Bahamas and local use to the current owner.Red Beans has been lovingly cared for over the past 18 years by the current owner.Putting his baby on the market is weighing heavy on his heart, but grandkids and homes in NY and the Bahamas require his attention.Dont miss this special opportunity to sail away on a ready to go cruising cat!

CHRIS DID A GREAT JOB TAKING PICS AND INFO ABOUT THE BOAT AND REPRESENTED IT WILL. THE SALE COMPLETED WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF LISTING!
I recently sold my boat through The Multihull Company and was very pleased with the experience. Their professionalism and efficiency made the process smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to buy or sell a boat!
Highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company crew. They were an amazing resource throughout the entire purchase process – organizing viewing, getting the boat under contract and surveyed, all the way through closing. Communications were consistent and straight forward. Multiple personal touches along the way to make you feel like part of the team.
Could not be happier. Conor is just a super likable guy and he walked us through the whole process and Andrew handled all the paperwork and financials and together they got me into my first catamaran! Will definitely be calling Conor again when we buy our next boat!
I’ve used The Multihull Company to list and sell two catamarans in the past year and they have been excellent to work with. The first cat was a vessel (42 Lagoon) I had released from my charter company. We had som difficulties during the sale process with the buyer finalizing the purchase and TMC handled things beautifully and we were able to close as expected. The second, a 1997 Island Packet Cat, they were able to attract multiple potential buyers, in a fairly short period of time, and just before our sailing season ended here in Michigan. Will, Andrew, Riley and the rest of the team there have been excellent to work with. Very professional and responsive. As someone that has worked in sales and sales management for my entire career, I appreciate the process they have in place and their execution.
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.
