This further decreases the amount of fuel that a catamaran consumes.

Catamaran vs monohull fuel consumption. This is due to a few things. As a result the cat can spin and turn on a dime with little effort while the monohull has much less leverage when the engines are opposed. By comparison bow keel drag created by a monohull vessel is higher than that of a catamaran and due to this greater displacement.

Access to the best anchorages. A better hull type for electric propulsion. More hull friction than a catamaran.

We initially used the advertised range to gauge the fuel consumption and cost. Then someone told us they got 1200 miles out of a full tank. Land locked for now.

More space for wind generators and solar panels. I have been reading about the benefits of Power Catamaran Yachts in terms of ride stability and better fuel numbers than that of a mono hull yacht of the same length. Cats almost always have twin engines set many feet apart which allow for tremendous control in tight situations.

In flat waters catamaran have less fuel consumption but in higher waters cause of its perfect design monohull wins. In a monohull however the engines are centered along the transom. A monohull consumes more fuel than a catamaran so a cat is an ideal option if youre looking for fuel-efficiency.

As for manoeuverability monohull wins cause its one hull offer higher level of navigation you can make sharper. Perhaps only Domino Catbyrd and Dashews FPBs would consider conditions and routes others would not dare but they are in a breed by themselves perhaps a super passage maker. The monohull encounters higher resistance taking longer to plane and spikes in speed and fuel consumption at mid-range.
