Multihull boats - Highspeed on the open sea
Whether home-made or high-end construction - Multihull boats are the top choice for yachtsmen who like it fast and sporty. The expert calls the boats "multihulls". Multihulls are popular with yachtsmen because of the special construction that has some advantages over single hull sailing boats. Even 5000 BC the Polynesians invented the catamaran. It enables them to cross the Pacific and exploit thousands of islands. Since then the idea of the construction stayed the same. There are different variants of this boat type.
Catamaran - 2 hulls for incredible speed
The catamaran consists of two hulls and a flat platform between it. Because of this construction it has a high stability and accelerates fast and strong. The wind glides over and under the boat. The aerodynamic structure makes the catamaran to one of the fastest sailing boats generally. The short draft is an additional advantage, because you have a wider range of anchorages. According to size the catamaran offers much space in both hulls and recommend oneself as freight boat aside from sports purposes. There are catamarans with deckhouses too, which offer more comfort than conventional multihulls. Although this structure costs speed. The wind rebounds off the deckhouse instead of gliding around. But for longer journeys the deckhouse is ideally.
Trimaran - Transportable multihull with regatta character
Contrary to the catamaran the trimaran contains two often foldable, auxiliary floats. With that those trimarans are perfectly transportable on a trailer, because the auxiliary hulls are packed on the boat. While not in motion this boat hardly submerge in the water. In relatively calm conditions the auxiliary hulls don't hinder the speed, so then the trimaran is faster than the catamaran. The trimaran is regarded as the fastest sailing boat on the open sea. Sports yachtmen often use trimarans at a regatta.
Monohull vs Multihull
The advantages of a multihull are obvious. Because of the structure it is far more stable than a monohull. This results in less jerky movement with heavy seas, which is a relief for people who become seasick quickly. Apart from this a multihull is almost unsinkable, similarly to outrigger canoes. Although to put a once capsized multihull upright again needs much ado. Additional disadvantages are the extravagant storage and the expensive construction. While a onehull sailing boat is easy to transport, getting a catamaran to another location ashore is much more difficult because of the wide construction. We recommend a trimaran with foldable auxiliary floats if ´transport´ and ´space-saving storage´ are criteria to buy for you.
