As for manoeuverability monohull wins cause its one hull offer higher level of navigation you can make sharper.

Catamaran vs monohull fuel consumption. More drag increased fuel consumption. A monohull by comparison needs much more power to increase its speed. Selene advertises the average range of the Selene 57 as 5000 nautical miles with a fuel capacity of 1500 gallons.

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. More hull friction than a catamaran.

We still managed to drop 20k or so on the catamaran and about 40k on the mono. If you want to use a diesel motor there is more space available for an engine in a monohull than in the cats slender shallow hulls making it more accessible and easier to work on. Limited access to shallow areas.

We used an average diesel price of 320 per gallon estimating that 4800 should give us 5000 nautical miles. A monohull consumes more fuel than a catamaran so a cat is an ideal option if youre looking for fuel-efficiency. Catamarans are much more fuelenergy efficient than a monohull.

The monohull encounters higher resistance taking longer to plane and spikes in speed and fuel consumption at mid-range. 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. DRAFT AND EFFICIENCY.

A Comparison of Monohull Catamaran Trimaran Vessels Based on Operational Review of Fuel Use Jacobus Tupan 1 Richard Benny Luhulima 1Department of Naval Architechture Pattimura University Ambon-Indonesia AbstractResistance is the most important component on a. A more dynamic motion. 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.
