Catamarans have two distinct primary performance characteristics that distinguish them from displacement monohull vessels: lower resistance to passage through the water and greater stability (initial resistance to capsize). Choosing between a monohull and catamaran configuration includes considerations of carrying capacity, speed, and efficiency.
Traditional sailboats are monohulls, but multi-hull catamarans and trimarans are gaining popularity. Monohull boats generally rely on ballast for stability and usually are displacement hulls. This stabilizing ballast can, in boats designed for racing, be as much as 50% of the weight of the boat, but is generally around 30%.
The first model MacGregor made was the V-21, a pocket cruiser with a swing keel. The M-19 and some M-26 models are listed as powersailers, because they have provisions for mounting more powerful engines, and are capable of sustained high-speed planing like a motorboat. For example, the M-19 can mount a 40 horsepower (30 kW) outboard, the M-26-X ...
A catamaran is a vessel with twin hulls. Commercial catamarans began in 17th century England. Separate attempts at steam-powered catamarans were carried out by the middle of the 20th century. However, success required better materials and more developed hydrodynamic technologies. During the second half of the 20th century catamaran designs ...
HSC Villum Clausen On the way from the shipyard of Austal in Australia to Rønne in Denmark the ferry had a top speed of 47.7 knots and an average of 43.4 knots, and on February 16 and 17, 2000 it had reached 1,063 sea miles within 24 hours, thereby setting the world record which was then written in the Guinness Book of Records.
Class40 is a class of monohull sailboat and a yacht primarily used for short handed offshore and coastal racing. The class is administered by International Class40 Association which is recognised by the World Sailing .
