Dean 441 368
If you walk down a dock full of catamarans, the new Dean 441 stands out from the crowd with its jauntily raked mast; wide, blue sheer stripe; and bright-yellow canvas. The one that the CW Boat of the Year judges tested last fall in Annapolis was fresh from an 8,100-mile passage from Cape Town, and it appeared to have weathered the voyage well.
Unlike catamarans that have a dual owner/charter pedigree, the 441 was designed by South African boatbuilder Peter Dean Sr. for private ownership and offshore cruising in comfort and safety.
Deans are built for boisterous sea conditions, with somewhat heavy, hand-laid hulls that are balsa-cored above the waterline. The hull/deck joint is through-bolted and glassed over, and balsa-cored structural bulkheads are securely laminated in place. Buoyant bows and fine sterns will increase performance downwind in big seas. To improve upwind performance and tacking angles, the mast is angled aft at 7 degrees.
Topside, it’s obvious that this boat is designed for serious ocean cruising. There are handholds everywhere, and 28-inch double lifelines completely encircle the deck. The large and comfortable recessed cockpit has a teak table and nine ample drains for safety. A sliding companionway, while still allowing a sense of continuity between the cockpit and saloon, is small enough to be secure for offshore work. Bluewater sailors will appreciate the well-conceived emergency tiller and the boom-end system for bringing a RIB dinghy onto the aft deck, a much safer solution than davits.
Peter Dean Jr. and his dad believe in working closely with their customers during all stages of the build and beyond. Since each boat is hand-built, customization is encouraged. Several basic layouts are offered, so you can have your galley up or down, and the Deans give owners an astonishing choice of 12 different wood finishes. I was pleased to see fiddles provided in the galley storage and shelving, since even the most stable cat will roll at sea.
Unfortunately, our test sail was doubly compromised by light air (5 to 6 knots) and a mainsail suffering from a batten that had broken on the delivery from Cape Town. In these conditions, we saw only 3.4 knots of speed over the ground that morning, but the boat’s recent delivery log indicates that it’ll be a long-legged passagemaker, with 200-mile days the norm in trade-wind conditions. The Dean 441’s average cruising speed, according to the log, is 9 knots, and it won’t be uncommon to see the middle teens.
During our test sail, I found that the boat steers well and that the traveler controls placed behind the helm and dual cabin-top winches relieve sailhandling congestion. We found the motorsailing capability good with the twin 42-horsepower Vetus saildrives, and there’s great visibility from the helm.
For sailors looking for a rugged, comfortable, world-cruising catamaran that’s not cut from a cookie cutter, the Dean 441 is certainly worth a look.

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.
— David Baxter
A shout out to Andrew Holland at the TMC main office, who handled the closing transaction of the sale of our boat. Very professional and thorough. Thank you!!

dean catamaran a good choice?
- Thread starter al.carpenter
- Start date 26 Sep 2010

al.carpenter
hello everyone, being new on this forum, I just want to say how interesting and rich I find your posts. I have so far lived on board my boats (classics, monohulls) for more or less four years and loved every minute of it but my partner is not so keen anymore and the last chance I would have to convince her to put her bags back onboard would be to switch to a boat that does not smell of tar and damp and rocks so much... and am thinking of a catamaran. I am on the market for a second hand one and was interested in a DEAN 441 but having read quite a few bad threads about structural problems and bad aftersales behaviour from the builders in South Africa, I am seeking, let say "wider" advice and comments... This being, for me, a major investment, I do not want to ask for trouble and as it is quite high on my wish list, your input would be most appreciated. Thank you and fair winds. Al.

Well-known member
Al Hundreds of Deans have been built and sailed across wide oceans. Some of them were well built, some not. Some people have been heard to say they are built like brick shyte houses. Some disagree. The 441 is very spacious. In the end, three words, survey, survey, survey.

Al, Here's some info on Dean catamarans you might find interesting: http://www.multihulls4us.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1329 I was very impressed when I stepped on one at the La Rochelle boat show a few years back.
thank you thank you for your advice. I know it is going to sound stupid but after a couple of days looking seriously into the problem, I have come to the conclusion that catamarans are not for me... not my idea of cruising... not my idea of a "proper" boat... never has been but I thought, for the sake of my wife it could be a solution but I now realise that it is not an option. Thanks any way. Fair winds to all of you.
Hm that's a pity. Can you post details of the wife please?
- 29 Sep 2010
to TCM Hi again,... 5' 7", 47kgs, blonde but not dumb, with a lot of energy but a little back problem that is not compatible with sailing anymore... You'd like her and I'll swap her for two 26 years old slender brunettes for the duration of my yearly cruise (she is 52...) but will take her back on landing as I am used to having her by my side, she, having been my partner for the last 34 years... More seriously, as a marine carpenter and a boat builder, a wooden yacht owner for the last 35 years, I have difficulty thinking of myself on something else than a long keeler with more in the water than out, close to half my weight in ballast, my nostrils tickling with the smell of Stockholm tar and my feet on my toolbox to repair my beloved "passion"..... and after more thought, I am not too keen on lending my wife so, I will cary on sailing solo... Ciao for now and fair winds.
What an excellent response to my daft post. I secretly feel guilty about not doing my bit to keep an old boat going and pass it on in twenty or so years time. I have loadsa tool boxes on catamaran, but sailing or living on the thing long term means a cat is comfier - unless you have a realy gigantic olde boat which finances can mean is rather stronger in the "being olde" dept than is truly all that "classic".
Daft post? no way... personally, right after "l'Amour" as Most Important Topic comes "l'Humour" (I am french you see!), on a par with Woodenboat sailing and Good Food... To go back to the wooden boat versus catamaran conversation, a classic timber craft does not have to be "old". My last one, a Laurent Giles was built in 1983 and my other alternative to the cat is to build myself a 38ft Ed Burnett nr 116 design (but carvel and not strip-planking/epoxy...) Since the cat is definitely out of my system (this idea was there just a few days, having realised that my partner's back was not likely to ever get better and I was depressed...), it is back to my newbuilt project "full steam ahead" Thanks again for taking the trouble to reply to my "own daft post"... Ho! and by the way, I hope your many tool boxes are not as heavy as my one and only 150 kgs mahogany own. On a cat weight is paramount......... Fair winds, Al

Hello all, I did not came back here since "06-05-09" (say this forum ...). > al.carpenter , as I read above that you are French, you can read this long thread on Dean Catamaran structure problem in the french forum "Sail The Word" : http://www.stw.fr/forumstw/quest_answers.cfm?quest_id=33047&topic_id=22&st_row=1 And this one to avoid communication liberty on the WWWeb: http://www.stw.fr/forumstw/quest_answers.cfm?quest_id=33603&topic_id=22&st_row=16 In fact, it is proved (even by several experts) that some Dean catamarans have big structural problems. Due to the lack of real technical communications beetwen the shipyard and the clients, it is impossible to evaluate how many cats are involved. I have no interests in this situation (like you, I rather like great heavy wooden schooners), but just for security reasons these real dangerous cases cannot be concealed. So long ...
Do I smell an alternative agenda emerging here?
thank you OFournier Hi, thank you for your post which is rich in informations about Dean Catamarans. I do understand that a certain design can have structural problems (I say design but in this case, the 441, it seems to be the material that's creating them) , after all, nobody's perfect and as a boatbuilder myself, I can assure you that some mistakes do cost a lot, in time and money but let's face it, it cannot in anycase be the client's responsability (if it is indeed a conception problem which only experts can determine) so the least the yard can do is listen, make amend and make sure it does not happen again. This, added to all the other, in my own opinion, disadvantages of a multihulls over a monohull (keep it light otherwise forget it, speed kills, structural stiffness, not getting back-up on its own, windage over wet surface, beating angles and tacking under motorpower, large cockpits, banging waves on the centrepart, two engines, sailing with the mains'l sheet in hand so to speak, not easy to repair anywhere you are, not "romantic" looking... etc...etc.) make it a definitely NO-NO option for me. But, this is my very own conclusion and being known as a old, narrow minded, ultra conservative (only where boats are concerned...) bear and not wanting to start another multi versus mono debate, I will close here this thread... Fair wind all.

Images: 1. Dean 440. I took an older D440 from BVI to NY last year and brought a brand new one from Annapolis to BVI a couple of months later. Both sailed very well and fast (they used to regularly win the Cape Town to Rio race I seem to recall) and I was never concerned about their sea-keeping abilities.
The Dean 44 was a bigger boat than Camarata was looking for. The berths weren't in the right place, the galley wasn't up in the main cabin, and the steering stations were different than the couple wanted. "But in this boat it all worked out great," he says. The boat was open, roomy and comfortable, comparing well to the Pearson 35 they ...
Re: Dean Catamarans Review. I've delivered two of them. Older one from BVI to New York. Sailed like a witch and was holding up very well for her age. Second one, brand new, from Annapolis to BVI. Again, sailed beautifully. The owner had some problems with lack of comms from the Dean people over some minor issues.

Dean 441. Customized to suit each owner, this South African-built boat is ready to voyage afar. A boat review from our July 2008 issue. The aft-raked mast aboard the Dean 441 does double duty by giving this South African catamaran both better performance when sailing closehauled and a sporty look. Billy Black.

The Dean 440 Catamaran is from Peter Dean's hand and is well noted for the distinctive raked mast and all the controls that come handily back to the portside helm located within the aft cockpit so you are still part of the social action while sailing and not stuck out of the way on a fly bridge.

LENGTH: Traditionally, LOA (length over all) equaled hull length. Today, many builders use LOA to include rail overhangs, bowsprits, etc. and LOD (length on deck) for hull length. That said, LOA may still mean LOD if the builder is being honest and using accepted industry standards developed by groups like the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council).
