Yes you yourself can sail a catamaran.

Now please Ms Aluminium boat introduce you some information about the catamaran.

What is the Catamaran?

It means two separated boat hulls, they upper connected together by a strengthened frame then to combine an integrated boat.

There is one engine and one propulsion or bow thruster in each of the two boat bodies.

The construction frame is called connecting bridge, many cabins on it.

The catamaran features: 

Stable performance

Safety and comfortable

Easy operate

Widely used for small and mid passenger boats and ferry boat.

The catamaran disadvantages:

Complex structure

Short swing time

Weak Mid structure

Not good at long ocean navigation.

Recently since the high speed development of sea travelling for passengers, the catamaran becomes the more quick development, wider application, more quantity because of the catamaran with wider deck size, space and can be easily decorated into luxury yacht.

As just now mentioned there are many cabins, buildings, power station, daily equipments on the catamaran deck, so one catamaran is more better than two separate yacht.

Because it is combined by two slim separated boats together, this structure makes the catamaran more quick, the speed can be 35-40 knots, and the stability is better than signal hull boat. Also because of the large size, so it has a strong ability to bear more heavy storm, and large loading capacity, so more and more buyer will use them for military usage.

Now let us to see the driving room, there are captain chair, a steel wheel, control lever, and the control panel there are many meters, they are speed meter, press meter, fuel leaking meter and angel indicator, button, GPS, RADA, VHF etc. The captain will be very easy to control the boat direction.

Do not worry one person could drive the catamaran even it is a large luxury catamaran because it has better balance.

Obviously, catamarans have a lot of advantages and if the budget is not a problem and it will be a perfect choice to buy a boat or rent a boat and enjoy a comfortable sea vacation trip with family and friends. Instead, if you want to use for training or racing, or if you want to sell your house, drive a ship after a divorce, then I recommend choosing a strong, reliable single sailboat, even in bad weather, unfortunately overturned by huge waves, at least the ship can flip over without affecting the voyage.

There is also a problem, the catamaran capsizes in extreme weather and is not easily flipped back. Fortunately, this does not happen very often, and one reason is that most catamarans sail in good weather conditions without sailing with storms or cyclones. Since the catamaran is difficult to flip back after dumping and this happens basically bow down, each hull has emergency exits along with some life-saving belts to allow the crew to persist until rescuers arrive.

As long as choose a safe route, as far as possible, avoid the storm, a person driving the catamaran is no problem.

There are many kinds of catamaran, different materials, different designs and different length, the price will be totally different.

For personal families 3-5 members application, the catamaran price can be USD380000 about for common style.

If for a luxury type with supper engine and also with sail on it, then the average price will be about USD550000/pc.

One more thing, the above price is just based on FOB Shanghai, it should add the sea freight, we suggest it no more than 11.5m, can be easy operation and load by a 40’ft frame container, that is a better way to save your sea freight, otherwise the sea freight is maybe equal to the boat itself. And of course if you order more than 8 boats, by a RO-RO vessel to transport, it will be also more economic, but the most economic ways is still by the frame container.

Ms Aluminium boat widely build the catamaran, speed boats, express boat and motor yacht and the yacht spare parts, they most export to Europ. North America and Mid east etc. We gain market by competitive price and stable quality, to make sure its longer using life.

If really to buy a catamaran, we do suggest you by aluminium boat not fiberglass boat. Longer using better experience from it you will know, for details reason, please you could check our all blogs or please message us, your each sentence will be highly appreciated.

Regarding ocean sailing, please kindly remind, the class flag is very important, so it needs to consider the class certificates, usually the international CCS certificate could exchange your country flag, to change BV, DNV, KR, GL,ABS etc. So the certificate price usually about USD15000 per boat. But do not worry, we will firstly consult you the boat sailing area, if for inner river navigation then he CE certificates is OK. But if the boat works in Ocean, it must need the CCS and under your local marine bureau rules, so the total charges will be higher, please kindly noted.

One more thing is: There is always no lowerest price, people also want to pursue the cheaper price, and we all know each price must based on its quality, lower price means lower quality, this picture helps you better understand it.

Just keep in mind, what you had spend, you must think it is worthy, keep happy is more important, as a buyer, the target price is important, accept the price must accept the quality.

And Ms Aluminium Boat shipyard as a yacht supplier, to sell more, yes we could get some more profit from it, but we will loose you in future, and loose your friends, and even loose your market, then who is the final loser?

Do catamarans flip easily?

Catamarans are not easy to flip.

Why we say like this, because the catamarans have the following features:

❊Catamarans advantages:

• Better stability. In order to pursue high speed performance, modern military boats are normally slender shape, and the length and the width ratio is 7:1 even 9:1. for example the length is 70m, the width is 8-10m. And the boat title recover torque is decided by the water line surface inertial torque. Simply speaking, slender hull has small recover torque when rolling, it will shake left and right easily. But for the catamaran, it has two hulls right and left, so the rolling recover torque is many times than the same displacement boat. For example: one carrying pole and one wooden plate, the carrying pole could non-stop swing and the wooden plate is very stable. The stability is of course very important for warship. If the rolling sharply, it will case the ship gun hit not accurate. Besides the ship guns, RADAR, SONAR and many other equipments working conditions need a stable hull.
• Catamaran deck is more wide, easy for equipments arrangement. Warship has many parts, such as the radar cables etc. Position is very important. Especially nowadays helicopters are more popular , they need a large place on deck for this helicopter. Catamaran has obvious advantages, deck size is more large than other same displacement single hull, that is more convenient to arrange the deck equipments.
• Incognito good performance. The main engine smoke exhaust hole is a very obvious source of infrared radiation. To install the incognito device is really expensive, the incognito should install in the chimney. The catamaran could put the chimney under the connecting bridge, and use the two hull to obstruct infrared radiation.
• Catamaran has one of branch –swath is one kind of better high speed boat, many of them for military application.

Of course one product has its advantages must have its dis-advantages, Catamarans are no exception.

❊Catamarans dis-advantages:

• Catamaran hull is very heavy, displacement is limited. In the sea even there is no wind, there must be tidal wave, the single hull inflation power is different for right and left side , so the catamaran two hulls inflation must also different , there is the stress and torque in the connection bridge. The torque=power X distance. The catamaran is more larger than signal hull boat, the stress and torque must be bigger than single hull boat. In order to make sure the hull not change the shape or dismount in the same sea situation, the catamaran must design stronger structure with heavier weight, so the loading will be very limited. For now the tech. Standard, the max catamaran is 5000ton.
• Higher cost for the catamaran. Because the higher requirements for the structure and strength, the materials and standard must be better than common warship, the cost normally between USD50000000-100000000. but for the private catamaran it is usually very cheaper the price can be USD1000000-USD9000000, different standard and different tonnage and the different design, different equipment requirements, the catamaran price will be different.
