The benefits of catamarans are as follows.

Catamaran hull benefits. Catamarans reduce drag by making use of a very thin and pointed hull design. Whereas traditional V-hull designs have trade offs between draft fuel efficiency and comfort of ride catamarans do not. With two hulls large catamaran owners can hire a crew and give them their own hull to live in so that there is separation between the cruisers and the crew.

Mooring hard standing and haul out typically cost 15 to 2 times more for catamarans. They found that the chine hull form catamaran had somewhat better performance in heaving and pitching response compared to other two hull forms. Because catamarans have two hulls and two engines to maintain and they take up more space.

Catamarans are also very light which further reduces drag and displacement. Catamarans can take up double the space of a monohull. This is a wonderful advantage for honeymooners looking to have their own space.

Hull asymmetry is needed to reduce pitching a canoe stern is obviously as pointed as the bow so its bound to pitch more. Besides there is ample headroom everywhere. This key catamaran characteristic owing to the design of the vessel means that stabilisers are not required as the yacht is inherently stable.

Catamaran builders strive to build the lightest boats they can without sacrificing strength and stiffness and have adapted new building techniques and materials to meet this target. Mono-hulled boats have a more predictable roll in the water while catamarans offer a sudden snap roll as it rights itself during a beam or right-angle wave. If you spend a considerable amount of time sleeping on your boat then this is very beneficial.

The advantages are endless. This reduces overall weight and importantly draft as well. The Seawind 1260 on the other hand has features found on few monohulls under 60ft.
