A Catamaran is a Stable Safe Platform Underway.
Catamaran or monohull liveaboard. Catamarans offer a smoother ride than a monohull especially in our rough water. Catamaran or Monohull. They also offer safer anchorage and are easy to control.
Catamaran liveaboards are superior in every way in rough seas. Downwind cats feel like a house gliding on the ocean at speed while monos roll from side to side. As an outside living space with a trampoline at one end and a massive aft deck at the other there is simply no comparison with a monohull of the same length.
There is plenty of space for everything you need at this size but not so big that you need a crew to handle the vessel. We sourced the technical specifications of these vessels from maritime records and directly from sailboat manufacturers. A catamaran liveaboard is much better in a following sea as a monohull will plow under the wave ahead as it comes down.
Liveaboard monohull sailboats can be as self sufficient as you want them to be. The advantage to these boats are shallow draft speed underway and a lot of liveaboard space. The Gemini is better for shallow protected waters and has a great liveaboard layout.
A monohull offers people the opportunity to have a large bed with space on either side to walk around it. The trampoline on the front the walk-around cockpit and on big cats the second upper lounging area are all cooling spaces that monohulls just dont have. A boat this size can even be managed by a single person while the other sleeps or is otherwise occupied.
In contrast a catamaran made for hardcore sailing is more about speed and excitement. Not a bad layout. This gives each sleeping area complete privacy from the other.
