Why a Catamaran?

• Improvements in technology offer stronger and more lightweight boats
• Catamarans like Aolani are up to 50% faster under power or under sail than sailboats due to its low draft and lightweight making for an exhilarating ride
• Cats are more stable, especially in rough water; there is no more than a 5% heel
• Child friendly, kids have lots of fun space to explore
• Cats are more seaworthy and safer; they just slice through the waves rather than pounding over them. The motion rather rocks you to sleep than feeling queasy; CATs are virtually unsinkable offering a level of offshore safety not available to Monohulls with a ballasted keel
• You fly over waves rather than dreading choppy water, cushioned by the air trapped between the Hulls Hydrofoiling
• Narrow hulls have less drag and higher speeds with the same power or same speed with significant reduction in fuel consumption as other boats
• More control for the captain; easier to maneuver with both engines far apart
• A monohull has a plus 50% higher chance to roll than a catamaran
• Your glass of wine (or any other beverage) will stay put on the table
• You can beach a catamaran (try that with a sailboat)
• Cats are safer than monohulls because they can’t sink, less lack of crew fatigue, etc.
• Sailboats have one engine, yet Aolani has 2 (safer and easier to maneuver)
• You want a cat for speed, stability, safety, comfort, and fuel economy, plus very quiet

AOLANI - luxurious sailing in style

A Catamaran has all of the advantages of a sailboat with the above advantages-and All of the advantages of a power boat with the above advantages

So why not have the best of both worlds

What must be a compelling argument is that lots and lots of monohull sailers are converting to multihulls. You hardly hear of anybody going back to monohulls. Once you are hooked on a cat, you never go back. You need a sailboat twice as long as a cat to get the same square footage on the boat since the beam is at least twice as wide as that of a monohull. This is true as compared to powerboats as well.
