Catamaran Sailing

The best places to go Catamaran Sailing are those with plenty of space to sail and to moor or anchor.Some of the favorites are The Mediterranean, The Caribbean and the Bahamas.

The obvious advantage of a Catamaran Sailboat is the enormous amount of space both on deck for sailing or sunbathing and below for the accommodation of the crew.

In addition they are very stable on a mooring or at anchor with no rolling motion and, having a shallow draft, can get to places a deeper draught boat cannot such as close to the beach for a short swim ashore.

Because of their size a Catamaran Charter appears intimidating but with a little practice maneuvering them using their two engines becomes a pleasure.

Catamarans generally need more wind than the equivalent mono hull and sail very fast on a reach. However they are not as good beating to windward because they do not point very close to the wind and on a dead run with the wind directly behind they tend to wallow.

From a safety point of view it is important to be aware of increases in the wind strength and reef in good time as they do not indicate this increase by heeling over more like a single hulled yacht.

Taking all of this into consideration a Catamaran Vacation Sailing in a warm Climate is an unforgettable experience.
