Power catamarans have twin engines. That makes them much safer than a conventional single engined powerboat. It also makes them very manouverable. Here I am turning our Skoota 28 in circles without using the steering wheel. You can see the engines are in line, turning is achieved by putting one engine in reverse, the other in forward gear I'm not very good at it yet! In part because the engine thrust in forward is much greater than in reverse, (because the exhaust goes through the propeller), so the throttle in forward needs a delicate touch You can build your own Skoota 28 in plywood from plans by Woods Designs, see more at www.sailingcatamarans.com

Check out the video from our Atlantic Sailing trip. We head 30nm offshore and there isn't a sound in the world nearby. We are met by a pod of dolphins and get the GoPro in the water to hear them talking to each other and maybe even us. It was such an incredible memory, one where a mom tears up and reposts it on YouTube years later. thanks for watching - hope it helps inspire you to go sailing!
