I just purchased my first large boat (my dreamboat) and Michael Streng and the rest of TMC was amazing! I really felt like I was a VIP customer because they were fast and easy to communicate with and worked ahead of me. It really was a treat and I would use them again any day!

Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company have done an extraordinary job facilitating the sale of our catamaran. There were a couple of challenges (geography and timing) that made this sale a little tricky, but, as usual, Andrew was amazing. I’ve been buying and selling cruising boats for over 12 years and Andrew is, without a doubt, the best broker I’ve worked with.

— Mort Orlov

Andrew Hodgdon at TMC-St. Augustine kept us thoroughly informed during the sale of our boat and took the extra steps necessary to complete the deal. His knowledge of the process made a complex deal very easy. Needless to say, we are extremely happy and satisfied with the job that Andrew did.

Catamaran Inactive -- Dolphin 460 (Florida)

catamaran dolphin 460

S/V Taka’oa is a 2007 Dolphin 460 performance catamaran, for sale by owner. Taka’oa underwent a major refit before the 2024 season and is outfitted to sail the world or the Bahamas. Due to personal reasons, the owners are changing their plan to sail long term and selling her just after the refit.

Taka’oa is a well maintained Owners version with 3 cabins and 2 heads. The list of new and refit systems and amenities is long making her ready for cruising today. She was struck by lightening in June of 2023, causing all of the electrical equipment to be replaced.

The Dolphin 460 is a serious performance cruiser. Standard carbon fiber mast, boom and bow-beam hint at the diligence Dolphin have in choosing all the boats components. Features include daggerboards, composite construction, excellent bridge deck clearance, and a high level of interior fit and finish.

Dolphin 460

Dolphin 460 is a 45 ′ 8 ″ / 13.9 m catamaran sailboat designed by Philipe Pouvreau and built by Dolphin Catamaran (BRA) starting in 2005.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Full load displacement is ~24,250 lbs.

Boat: Dolphin 460, 14m
look at a used Dolphin 460. Thirty plus built and no structural failures. I have own my Dolphin since new in 2007 and I can tell you without reservation I have been very happy. I have own many during my lifetime and this Dolphin 460 for cruising has been perfect. If you have any questions or wish to learn more about the Dolphin 460 please post and I will respond. As for my polars, in 12 knots of true , no and calm seas, I will be sailing at AWA 34 with a SOG of 7.5k. If the goes up to 14k my AWA can change to 33 with a SOG of 8.5k. With so many things that will change these numbers I would rather just say that I generally will be sailing higher and faster than most monohulls.

I agree that the seem to have superior finishes compared to other options. My father used to say that many people cant inspect an or are even able to .... the quality of a plane's engineering is often judged by the cleanliness of its seat coverings—a reflection of overall attention to detail. I'm sure there was some famous saying around that :P
The Dolphins' finishing touches, such as proper tabbing instead of silicone seams, reinforce this impression. While the Catana models offer significant advantages, such as ample sail area, spacious bunks, excellent , and a well-ventilated owner's head, I’ve noticed some issues with the newer switching systems.

Recently, I encountered a situation where a sophisticated switching system failed while . The system restarted after a few minutes, but not before losing wind monitoring and synchronization—just as I was getting comfortable with the in 20 knots of wind. This underscores the need for a manual backup board for emergencies.

I’m very interested in seeing a Dolphin in person, though the nearest one is a 30-hour round-trip flight away. My primary concern is resale value. As someone in my early 40s with a background in boats, I value craftsmanship and light design over party-friendly features. However, I’ve heard differing opinions from newcomers to sailing who are in my range, and I’m concerned that these boats might depreciate significantly.

Thanks for any insights or recommendations you can provide!
