A monohull has less windage than a multi making it easier to berth.

Monohull pros. If you hate repetitive annoying sounds you might want to look into a monohull for this reason. The main characteristic of sailing boats is the stability. Monohulls are single-hull sailing boats that come in many shapes and forms.

You cant beat a monohull sailboat for good looks. They are generally very seaworthy tack or change direction very easily and are much more maneuverable and responsive than their multi-hull counterparts. Stability is a big plus for families with young children or seniors who are not particularly steady on their feet.

A monohull simply cant be compared to a cat in this regard. Its easier to sail close to the wind in a monohull. They cut through the water which allows for a quieter sailing experience overall.

Because the boat is not as susceptible to the effects of wave action and does not heal the way a monohull does it is much easier to walk around on deck and within the interior of the yacht while underway. The stability is achieved by adding the ballast the deep keel. How enjoyable it is to sail a monohull rather than a catamaran is personal.

However there is one advantage most monohulls have compared to catamarans and that is when underway is that they do not pound or slap. More exhilarating sailing experience. Although the rule is that multihulls are faster which makes for shorter passages and gives more chance of outrunning bad weather there are monohulls that can do the same.

Although no one knows when the first sailboat was built archeologists have found remains of primitive canoe-like vessels dating back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. First a look at the pros and cons of monohull yachts. Stability is a big plus for families with young children or seniors who are not particularly steady on their feet.
