Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

The modern trend sure is for fat bums, with the at rest waterline well above the chine (expected on an FP or Lagoon, but also on the Outremers). Hence the bigger sail plans to keep the boat moving in...

Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

The Wynns are very good for travel content, which probably stems from their previous careers and their time in their RVs - the vehicle is a tool to get to cool places and create content. They did...

Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

Charter-oriented cats focus on accommodation and lifestyle (same as waterfront and golf course condos). The rig is there because sailing is romantic. People buying these boats are not interested in...

Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

The vast majority of the time the autopilot is steering, so why is a protected helm so important? This is one of the weird design trends that charter catamarans seem to have made mainstream - it used...

Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

We’re not talking about charter oriented catamarans here. The question is about the seeming modern design trend with performance cruising cats to go (relatively) high displacement and high power,...

Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

I expect it is the much finer stern sections. Our bows are very full and underwater the run from the bow knuckle to max depth is straight. However, our sterns are very narrow - less than 30cm width...
