Which sailboat is best.

Monohull multihull. The Multihull Source was formed in 1995 when Bob Gleason teamed up with Bert Kornyei to expand his Corsair dealership into other multihulls. Think of the Albin Vega 27 the Hallberg-Rassi 35 Rasmus and the Catalina 36. On monohulls the keel under the hull is there to prevent the boat from drifting and the ballast from capsizing.

You can even beach some multihulls which have been designed to do so which is a bonus for maintenance. YOTI boat brokerage is a highly professional honest and transparent Australian boat Brokerage with access to the largest monohull and multihull yacht sales network in Australia and a reputation for outstanding customer service at point of sale and after. Theres no denying that having a boat that doesnt heel is a huge advantage to living on board at sea.

Being able to anchor closer in or beach your boat also means you dont always need to take a dinghy if you want to go ashore. Most people would agree that the berths in a monohull are much more spacious than in a catamaran. Monohulls like this Amel 55 sail better upwind and her ballast keel adds displacement which means comfort when its rough.

A monohull offers people the opportunity to have a large bed with space on either side to walk around it. Its a much more relaxing and convenient way to sail. You can buy a modern 40ft mono such as a Bavaria or Jeanneau in good condition for under 150000.

If you are into SCUBA diving carrying tanks and all the assorted equipment is much easier on a cat. Multihulls can develop an unpleasant motion in a big sea Upwind most cruising multihulls wont point like a monohull with a deeper keel and when it gets lumpy and fresh the motion can become distinctly unpleasant. On average a cruising catamaran or trimaran is around 25-30 speedier than a conventional monohull of an identical size.

On a sailboat the wind makes the boat go forward and lean in its direction. Monohulls are more budget-friendly especially as there are lots of very good solid small sailboats from the 70s 80s and 90s that can be bought for dirt cheap. Gone are the days of bracing yourself in the cockpit and living your life underway at 20 degrees of angle.
