General Information |
|
Cruisingcats.com |
Catamarans are faster! Say 15%-50% faster
than a comparable cruising monohull.
Due to it's draft, the catamaran has a lot more water to use! How's 1.5'
- 4'?
The vessel is more stable! Much more than 5 %. heel and something is
wrong!
It's safer for quite a few reasons - lack of crew fatigue, unsinkability,
etc.!
It's just more fun! Still not convinced? This subject can take books to
adequately present but you can click on the following articles that
really help understand why we are so thoroughly convinced about
multihulls: |

2Hulls |
2Hulls has 100s of pages and 1000s of
images dedicated to the catamaran and trimaran multihull aficionado.
Buying, selling, chartering, fixing or refitting, experts - it's all
