Question

BE-40 What is a characteristic of a catamaran hull?

Answer 1

Answer:

A stable ride

Explanation:

A Catamaran hull is a form of sea craft invented by the Austronesian peoples, the invention of the Catamaran hull enabled these people to sail across the sea in their expansion to the islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Catamaran has multiple hulls, usually two parallel hulls of equal size. This geometric feature gives the craft an increased stability because, it derives extra stability from its wide beam, in the place of a ballasted keel employed in a regular monohull sailboat. A Catamaran hull will require four times the force needed to capsize it, when compared to an equivalent monohull.
