Catamarans versus Monohulls

In this three part video series about catamarans versus monohulls, Simon and Len discuss a variety of factors. They include, elements concerning livability such as, stability, size, fluidity, outside space, storage, getting on/off, and getting an anchor spot.

In part two, the pair discuss usability factors including docking, anchoring, mooring balls, and visibility. They also cover sailing comfort, speed, setting/trimming, and safety.

In the final part of Catamarans versus monohulls, the guys discuss redundancy, lightening, sailing in rough weather, aesthetics, costs, and their final conclusion.

As Clear as Mud?

Making a choice between a catamaran and a monohull is not straightforward. Cost is a massive consideration and the overall look and feel weighs heavy too. Cats are great for being at anchor and not so fun sailing. Mono’s provide an excellent sailing experience but can be less stable at anchor.

If you’re not sure which one is right for you, apply to sail on Len’s cat and Simon’s mono – for a weeklong experience you can live and feel the difference and determine, once and for all, which boat is best for you!
