Advantages
of
Trimarans
Advantages of a
Trimaran (3 hulls) over a Mono-hull (1 hull)
-
Much Faster (2-3 x as fast!) Once you have experienced the rush of sailing
over 20 knots with a
rooster tail like a power boat, you'll never go back to being excited about
hitting 7 knots...
-
Greater range of
places you can visit because of the speed
-
Far lighter (no
10,000
pound keel, less load carrying strength)
-
Flat, even ride
(almost no heel)
-
More fun
-
Faster hull shape
-
Higher sail
area/displacement ratio
-
Easier to
transport
-
No expensive
mooring space needed
-
Shallow draft
permits access to places keel boats cannot go
-
Small,
inexpensive & economical engines can be used because of light weight &
streamlined shape
-
Easy to
man-handle on the beach
Advantages of a Trimaran
over a Catamaran (2 hulls)
-
Safety (much
wider beam, which creates much more righting moment). It is almost
impossible to turtle an Adventure Trimaran, whereas beach catamarans flip
frequently.
-
Suitable for
beginners (Much lower skill level needed to handle a trimaran in same amount
of wind)
-
More comfortable
and flatter ride
-
Drier ride
-
Points better
(sails higher upwind when tacking)
-
Trapeze (harness
system) not necessary (because of that wider beam)
-
More lounging area
-
Lighter because
main hull carries the mast compression load on a tri instead of the crossbeams
Advantages of a Sit-on-top over open Cockpits
-
You can't swamp it and then break
it or sink it in big waves
-
It won't fill up with rainwater
sitting at the dock, on your beach, or on you car
-
Structurally stronger
-
Won't step into a big hole when
tacking to the other side and break a leg
-
You can use the flat deck as a bed
(bivy set-up available)
-
More storage space inside
