Advantages: Catamaran vs. Mono hull
- Efficiency:
The catamaran has a smaller block coefficient1 and, due to significantly lower resistance, the catamaran requires less power to perform at the same speed and carrying capacity of a monohull. - Motion Sickness Incidence:
The catamaran also has an advantage over motion sickness thanks to its specifically designed shape which reduces the likelihood of slamming and rolling. - Manoeuvrability and Seakeeping:
The catamaran’s specific design features, such as its slender bow form and its widely spaced hulls result in a vessel that can operate both in tight areas and in adverse weather conditions. - Safety:
The catamaran has an advantage over the monohull with regards to its superior safety and evacuation features and its lower environmental impact. - Cost:
The catamaran has a considerably reduced operating costs that its monohull competitor
