Catamaran and Trimaran Models

Affectionately called ‘cats’ and ‘tris,’ these are multi-hull yachts. These recreational ship models are perfect for ocean lovers’ solo and group adventures, or working as ferries. Discover how the multi-hull design affects the stability and use of these yacht models.

Catamaran v/s Trimaran: Which one is Better?

While multihulls are considered safer than single-hull boats, their construction gives them unique strengths. The main differences between catamaran and trimaran ship models are:

• Number of Hulls: Catamaran models have two hulls while Trimarans have three hulls. A center hull supported by two smaller side hulls provides extra anti-drift capability to trimarans.

• Rigging: Usually, trimaran yachts have two masts while cats have only one. The weight-centering makes trimaran models more suitable to sail upwind, whereas cats serve well in downwind.

• Width: Trimarans are sleek vessels that can cruise through waters at a high speed, which makes them the preferred racing ship model. Whereas, the broader structure of catamarans may slow them down.

• Internal Space: The side hulls of tris are quite small due to which they have less internal space. Cats, on the other hand, have more room as the parallel hulls are of the same size. Since catamaran models offer the convenience of carrying scuba diving and other marine kits, explorers prefer these.
