After sailing over 20,000 nm on our monohull ForTuna and 7,000 nm on the catamaran Zambezi, we’re finally ready to share our honest opinion on the never-ending Catamaran vs Monohull debate. For this review, we compared both boats in 4 key aspects: 1️⃣ Sailing performance on long passages A tie. The cat is faster, but needs way more wind to move. Moreover when sailing close-hauled, the main dominates and maneuvering in higher winds often requires the engine’s help. 2️⃣ Sailing comfort This one surprised us. Catamarans are shockingly uncomfortable once the sea starts moving. Each wave hits twice, the hulls slam, the rig creaks, and our bodies couldn’t predict the motion. On a monohull, the movement is linear, predictable and our stomachs are much happier. 3️⃣ Living comfort The cat wins. The space, light, and “upper-level living” are unbeatable. But you’ll also find it hard to hide from the sun. 4️⃣ Maintenance Another tie. Double the hulls, double the engines, double the systems. Whatever you spend or fix on a monohull, double it for a catamaran. That said, redundancy can be a plus offshore. Our verdict: We’re staying on a monohull. The living space of a catamaran is tempting, but the sailing comfort just isn’t for us. We plan to keep crossing oceans and we’d rather live smaller than be seasick. What’s your take on the cat vs mono debate? Stay salty, Greta & Michael 🌊 #sailing #sailboat #boatlife⚓️ #liveaboard #sailboatlife #sailingadventure
