Displacement hulls are the most common shapes for single hull craft.

Advantages of catamaran hull design. They also are pretty comfortable in a moderate chop. Catamaran Boat Advantages - Twin Vee Catamaran twin hull shapes specifically Twin Vee boats are designed to exploit the phenomenon of kinetic fluid induction to produce what we believe to be the driest and smoothest ride of any boat in their class. GLO Marine has recently completed a project to optimise the hull design of a 15-metre catamaran workboat with the ultimate goal of reducing the wave making resistance to a minimum whilst keeping the vessels main dimensions unchanged.

I have given this design the acronym SPEED standing for Small Power Extended Efficiency Displacement. But a smoother ride is only one of the many advantages a power catamaran offers. Because of the catamarans design it does not heel underway and will not roll while anchored which adds to its comfort factor and all but eliminates sea-sickness.

If you spend a considerable amount of time sleeping on your boat then this is very beneficial. The work was performed using CFD methods and Numeca Fine Marine software tools. The advantages are endless.

The deep V is a simple to build hull shape that matches the human body as it is narrow low down and wider high up so it is a good choice if the accommodation is only in the hulls. Instead of the usual 30-45 degrees heeling on a monohull you are more likely to be sailing at a comfortable 5-10 degrees. The angle is better.

Advantages of Catamarans Catamarans are in general faster than single hull boats. The benefits of catamarans are as follows. The Seawind 1260 on the other hand has features found on few monohulls under 60ft.

Using two hulls bridged by a deck the catamaran design provides additional beam increased stability and at the same time increased speed the slim twin hulls have little drag. Pros and Cons of popular hull shapes. The basic form is one of a fine entry bow and a flat box like stern section with 850mm maximum demi-hull beam giving a length to beam ratio of 12351 for our 11m hull.
