4 Days to go – Catamaran vs Monohull

 


4 Days to go – Catamaran vs Monohull

“Two Hulls or One – Which is Better?”

This is a debate as old as sailing itself.

And now:
I get to see both


The Monohull (my home)

  • Heels over
  • Feels alive
  • Lets you know what’s happening

Also:
Occasionally feels like it’s trying to throw you off


The Catamaran

  • Flat
  • Stable
  • Spacious

Also:
Slightly less dramatic Steve and Judy and their guests will be on this boat sailing with us for some of the way.


The Twist

Judy and Steve are:
Learning to move from monohull → catamaran

While I:
Am just trying to stay upright


So which is better?

Answer:

It depends

(Helpful, I know)


Final Thought

I suspect I’ll enjoy:
The stability of the cat

But love:
The feel of the monohull
