I Priced Out A Catamaran and a Monohull The Results Shocked Me

I spent three weeks comparing the REAL cost of owning a catamaran vs a monohull... and the results honestly changed how I see sailing completely.

Everyone talks about purchase price, but almost nobody talks about what happens AFTER year one. Slip fees, insurance, haul outs, maintenance, sails, beginner mistakes, repairs... it adds up fast.

In this video, I break down:
⛵ Purchase prices
💸 Marina and slip fees
🔧 Maintenance and haul outs
⚓ Insurance costs
🛠 Beginner repair mistakes
📊 Real yearly ownership numbers

I compared real boats, real prices, and real maintenance costs to figure out which path actually makes sense for a beginner sailor planning for coastal cruising and eventually offshore sailing.

And the difference? It’s bigger than I expected.

Subscribe because next week I’m talking about why experienced sailors STILL make the wrong decision when choosing between a catamaran and a monohull.
