The beam is narrow compared to modern designs the later Elite is wider and the hulls aft dont have sugar scoops for swimming platforms.

Narrow catamaran hull. In addition a narrower hull is more easily depressed and prone to tripping in heavy seas. A catamaran generally has no ballast. Beam of sailing catamaran.

For high-speed cats above the hump very often narrow catamaran will have less drag than wide catamaran - directly due to lower tunnel wash and also becase it is actually lighter. In contrast the modern catamaran. This produces a faster better-supported hull.

The entry line is narrow and the water lines angle is small so there is not much running resistance. I designed this with the idea that a narrow hull with a flat front. The sections aft are designed to support the full aft cabin configuration with buttock lines that run out at a milder angle.

The narrow beam means you pay standard monohull fees at most marinas. While the aft sponsons act as trimaran sponsons do the front sponsons do not touch the water normally. The twin hull design of our power catamaran produces a narrow footprint in the water when compared to a mono hull design.

Semi-displacement mono-hulls cheat a bit by using very fine entries to minimize the size of the bow wave that they produce. The entry line is narrow but the water lines angle is becoming wider larger hull which is making us lose the hydrodynamism of the boat. The shape of the hull combines all these elements and set up one part of her.

This provides increased rider cushion when planning out on rough seas and avoiding the porpoise effect that a mono hull experiences when running. Most early narrow-beamed catamarans suffered from this phenomenon Ultimately a boats design has a major influence on its ability to stand against the forces of nature and to keep occupants safe. The wider it is the more stabilityhowever at some point excessive beam becomes unmanageable.
