If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the past few years of sailing around the world: There’s no perfect sailboat! The catamaran vs monohull debate is mostly hype and we’ve done our best to stay away from adding to the noise.
When we heard our friends from Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose are thinking of selling their monohull to purchase a catamaran, we invited them to come crew with us…and that led to talks of cruising life in a mono vs a cat.
We were talking about it anyway so why not film and share? In this video we’re discussing comfort and safety.
We hope you find this conversation based on our collective experiences helpful. If you’re in the market to purchase a sailboat remember the Mantra: Spend Smart and Stress Less. Monohull or multihull…in the end the best boat is the one you can afford to purchase now.
⭐ After you hit that play button we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below: What’s you’re preferred style of sailboat? Are you in the Monohull or Catamaran camp…or maybe you’d prefer to sail a mono but cruise in a cat? What’s your favorite brand? It’s always fascinating to read what draws each person to one type/brand/style of sailboat.
