The right Choice Mono or Cat

You are planning a sailing trip, an event or a training – We plan and organize exactly what you want, but what do you want? Especially when choosing which boat to use, it is often difficult to make the right choice, facts and a few impressions can help with the decision

Comfort

A catamaran offers more space. The space is much larger on two hulls than on just one hull. Also on deck and in the saloon, it is simply much more spacious on a catamaran than on a monohull. Catamarans do not heel, so they have almost no heeling over when sailing. With everyday things on board such as cooking, eating and sleeping, this is a big advantage. As for comfort, the catamaran is clearly in front of a monohull.

Sailing Performance

Catamarans usually have less problems with waves and are therefore often faster. Catamarans have a lower draft than monohulls, so you can anchor with a cat, for example, deeper in the bay and closer to the beach. Single-hulled sailboats have much better sailing performance on the wind than most catamarans. One-handed sailing is easier possible on a hull than on a catamaran. In ports with boxes or little space, it is often easier to find a place in the marina with the much narrower and slimmer monohulls.

Costs

Here it is the other way around as with the comfort, which obviously has its price: Seen in terms of price, all the advantages for sailors lie on a hull.
