Frequently Asked Questions
What are the fastest cruising catamarans?
Some of the fastest cruising catamarans include the Gunboat 68 (35 knots), Outremer 45 (25 knots), ORC50 (25 knots), FastCat 435 (20 knots), TS 42 (35 knots), and Lagoon 440 (20 knots). Yet, there are many more cats that can reach 35 knots safely.
What is the easiest catamaran to sail?
Lucia 40 is known for being easy to sail; (many argue that this is partly due to the use of a low hanging boom which increases accessibility). On boats that use a flybridge, the boom is situated very high and can make handling difficult.
Are power catamarans safe for ocean crossing?
Catamarans are safe for ocean crossings. In fact, catamarans are often much safer than similarly-sized monohulls offshore. Safety comes from increased motion comfort, great stability, speed, and excess buoyancy due to lack of ballast.
Do catamarans hold their value?
The general rule of thumb on a new boat is 15% to 20% depreciation in Year 1 with each subsequent year of around 10% until Year 7 when values tend to stabilize and fall only marginally after that. However with catamarans it tends to be closer to 10% in Year 1, 7.5% in Year 2 and 5% annually after that.
Are catamarans good Bluewater boats?
Bluewater catamarans offer fantastic stability, despite what you may hear from single-hull yacht owners. There’s no high lean angle when sailing into the wind and no need to strap everything down to prevent it from moving. Add to this little or no rolling when moored, and a catamaran is a lovely place to be.
Why are catamarans not popular?
Catamaran yachts are not suitable for sailing sport. They can be just great to go for a vacation or even to live on them, just like in a houseboat, but it is exactly because of their stability that half of the yachtsmen would never buy them.
Why do catamarans have trampolines?
Catamarans are built from two hulls with each their deck area. So the trampoline gives a lot more usable space in the front of the boat, without harming the boat’s performance.
Are power catamarans fuel efficient?
This enhanced efficiency results in increased cruising range and significantly greater fuel economy. In comparison to traditional motor yachts, catamarans have a smoother rise in speed and steady fuel burn. In addition powercats experience minimal spikes in fuel consumption throughout the power band.
Are power cats good boats?
And in actuality, thanks to weight distribution via the widely-spaced twin hulls, it requires an average of four times more force to overturn a catamaran hull than a monohull with the same dimensions. So in reality, in general cats are actually less likely to roll over.
What are the safest catamarans?
The safest type of catamaran is a cruising catamaran which is often preferred for ocean crossing. These vessels are equipped with design elements and the safety features that are a level above than regular catamarans. This includes watertight hatches and positive buoyancy material like foam.
What is a good starter catamaran?

How big is too big for a catamaran?
