Are trimarans better than catamarans?

Trimarans are therefore faster than catamarans and this difference is very significant when sailing into the wind thanks to the centering of the weight in the central hull which limits pitching. As a result, trimarans are generally more efficient than catamarans.

Are trimarans faster than monohull?

On average, a cruising catamaran or trimaran is around 25-30% speedier than a conventional monohull of an identical size. The only downside is that multihull vessels are only this fast if the load is relatively light.

Is a trimaran a yacht?

A trimaran (or double-outrigger) is a multihull boat that comprises a main hull and two smaller outrigger hulls (or “floats”) which are attached to the main hull with lateral beams. Most modern trimarans are sailing yachts designed for recreation or racing; others are ferries or warships.

Is there another Seaclipper boat coming?

What is the John Marples Seaclipper 13?

John Marples has just released building plans for another boat in the Seaclipper series — the Seaclipper 13 (4 Meter) trimaran. John continues to be a prolific Multihull designer for those who want to build their own boat at home. This boat will feature “swing-wing” akas, which helps make setting up the boat for sailing on the trailer very easy.

Why a Trailertri 680 Seaclipper?

A TrailerTri 680 also was a project that we enjoyed. The interest in the Seaclipper 16 was an outgrowth of building a couple of the Seaclipper 10’s and the interest of sailing with another person rather than sailing alone. Any modifiications to John’s design were rather minor and were not changes in the real overall boat.
