Thrilling Sailing in a Catamaran.
Which dingy gives the sailor the most exhilirating experience of speed on the water, Undoubtedly, it must be the CAT; short for catamaran. All the boats i had intoduced to you in my earlier blogs are monohull. The catamaran is a twin hull design boat. Two common catamarans found in the SAFYC is the Hobie and the Nacra. Catamaran can be sailed alone if the sailor is competent. Beginners are likely to sail in pairs. Catamaran also come with trapeze. This allows a sailor to hike out of the boat to keep the boat flat. In good wind conditions, the catamarans can easily clock speed up to 10 knots.
