Catamaran Boats

In simplest terms, a catamaran is defined as a boat with two hulls. The term is derived from the Tamil word, kattumaram, which means logs bound together and the first of these designs were used for fishing. Far from their crude beginnings, today’s catamarans are usually fiberglass or carbon fiber constructions with twin hulls connected by a bridge deck and they’re designed in many sizes and for various activities.Power catamarans, often referred to as "multi-hull powerboats" or "power cats," have larger engines than their sailing cousins and no masts or sails.
