And the space available to spread out in a trimaran is substantially greater than in a monohull because the monohull does not have trampolines and because the stability provided by the outriggers on a trimaran mean that above the waterline the principle hull of the trimaran can be flared out without fear of.

Monohull vs trimaran. With three hulls to ensure stability trimarans combine the heel of a monohull with a catamarans stability to deliver the best sailing elements of monohulls and multihulls in a single package.
