Catamarans
Mike Kiely
Catamarans are very stable and have natural buoyancy, making them unsinkable. Yes, they can capsize in a bad accident, but it’s better to be rescued floating on the water’s surface than sinking to the bottom in a monohull. Moving around on a flat deck is much safer than on a deck at an angle.

SAFETY

David Parkinson
Monohulls
Monohulls have much better “self-righting” capabilities in the event of a worst case “knock-down” situation, particularly sailboats. Once you’re upside down in a catamaran, you stay upside down and who wants that in the middle of a large ocean? By returning to an upright position, you still have full access to onboard safety equipment: life raft, dinghy, floatation devices, EPIRBs, strobe lights, etc. to save you in the unlikely event of the boat sinking.
