A catamaran sailing yacht is more stable than a monohull meaning it is more pleasurable for all the family to sail andsleep on. The layout often allows for a large cabin which has a panoramic views and a great seating area.

There are plenty of thrills to be had sailing catamarans. Cats are quick, slow to tack, less manouverable and fun!

Some tips for sailing a cat:

  • Sail with the traveller down
  • Setting the sails better will result in massively improved performance
  • Reef earlier than in a monohull
  • The driving sail is a mainsail unlike most monohulls
  • Get speed up out of the tack before heading up
  • Don’t go too low in waves or you’ll pitchpole!

High speed pitchpole in a Hobie. The French speed trench is where this dramatic crash happens. Just watch how far the boat pops out of the water!
