2014 Hobie Cat Getaway

East Greenwich, Rhode Island

Model Getaway

16 ft. Hobie Cat Getaway - literally like new! The Getaway is designed to sail easily and safely with the roller furling jib and boomless main. The unique hull design delivers the performance Hobies are know for – even flying a hull for the thrill seeksers out there. This boat was purchased August, 2014 to get our teenagers into sailing. It was only used during the two weeks we were on Cape Cod (approximately 5 times). Unfortunately, tubing and wakeboarding hold more allure, so we are switching over to a small powerboat. Sails are the Seabreeze color scheme. Being the brand new 2014 model, it includes all the upgrades that come with the new re-design including the improved rudders. The boat comes well equipped but we added: the Wing Seats ($1100 option); Trapeze wires and quick height adjusters with competition trap rings; composite hiking stick (long) with a stainless quick release, and a 2:1 downhaul. 2014 Load Rite Sailboat trailer (with mast support) included in the package. This trailer is equipped with larger rims and upgraded tires for better highway performance as well as bearing buddies for easy maintenance. It also has a rear mast bracket to make trailering that much easier and secure. The trailer has touched water only twice in its life – one launch and one boat removal.

16' Prindle Sailboat

Commerce Twp, Michigan

Up for sale is my 16' Prindle. The main sale is multi colored and in very good shape considering this is not a new boat, the jib is solid Yellow. The Boats pontoons are in very good shape with no soft spots. The Trailer is Aluminum and also in good shape and has bearing buddies installed. I have not sailed in years but have sailed extensively on both this prindle and other sailboats. The 16 Prindle handles the heavy wind far better than a hobie and very importantly can be self righted when/if you flip it by just one person. This point can not be overstated you dont want to be stranded in the middle of the lake because you are sailing an 18' It will take a weekend to clean up and to do the intisl setup. On a prindle each rudder is raised and lowered manually and independantly of the other by two different lines, for a total of four four foot lines. These lines are about three to four feet long each. These lines are available at lowes or home depot in the rope section and cost a total under $10.00. It is easy with just a coat hanger to re-line your rudders in about 20 minutes and is part of good maitenance to do on who evers prindle you adopt. Besides this just a good overall cleaning and waxing much like you would your car. The trailer has Michigan plates but the tabs are expired. I contacted secretary of state today and was told that boats under 20' in Michigan do not have title but just a bill of sale, please feel free to confirm this independantly with the Michigan Secretary of State office. All the other ropes and block along with the main and jib sails and the boom, Mast and cables, have been stored inside and are in excellent condition. I am no longer including the trampoline so you will have to buy a new one. This is good because new trampolines are so much better than the original trampolines that came with these boats. The reason is you tend to slide across these tramps very often as you move from port to starboard under the boom and vice versa and nothing is worse than the original trampoline for this or a modern trampoline with burs/small inperfections. You also want a trampoline that will be smooth to slide across without any obstacles in the mat ie Straps, Gromets, Rope and in my opinion rope pockets. See Aromic Tarp Website for 16' Prindle Mats. http://www.atomictarp.com/catamaran_trampolines?id=catamaran_trampolines&bas=&categories=4 The prindle is at my home on commerce lake in Commerce Township, MI. It is loaded on its aluminum trailer in my driveway. $650 firm 248-266-2045 or 248-894-6387 Emailing is the easiest way to reach me, I check my email often thru out the day and can respond to any questions quickly.

2) How to Sail a 16′ Prindle Catamaran: Tips and Tricks

Sailing a 16′ Prindle Catamaran can be an exhilarating experience for any sailing enthusiast. With its sleek design and nimble handling, this small but powerful vessel is perfect for those looking to navigate the open water with style and finesse. In this blog post, we will delve into some valuable tips and tricks that will not only aid you in sailing this exceptional catamaran but also help you master the art of sailing itself.

1. Familiarize Yourself with the Basics: Before setting sail on your Prindle Catamaran, it is crucial to have a solid understanding of basic sailing principles. This includes learning about wind direction and how to harness its power effectively. You should also acquire knowledge about sail trimming techniques, steering methods, and how to control speed through adjusting your sails. The more you know about these fundamentals, the more confidently you can handle your catamaran on the water .

2. Get Acquainted with Your Vessel: Take time to become intimately familiar with your Prindle Catamaran’s unique features and characteristics. This involves inspecting all rigging components, learning how to hoist and lower the mast properly, checking that all lines are untangled and correctly rigged, and ensuring that all hardware is secure before launching onto the water. Knowing your boat inside out will save you from unexpected mishaps during your sailing adventures .

3. Prepare for Launch: Prior to embarking on a thrilling sail adventure, make sure you have all necessary safety equipment onboard such as life jackets, flares, a first-aid kit, and a marine radio or cellphone for emergencies. It’s important to ensure that everything is stowed away securely to avoid any potential hazards while navigating choppy waters .

4. Understanding Wind Patterns: Sailboats rely heavily on wind patterns for propulsion; therefore having a keen understanding of wind behavior will significantly enhance your catamaran experience. Learn how different points of sail , such as a close-hauled or running reach, impact your boat’s speed and maneuverability. Experiment with trimming your sails at various angles to optimize performance based on the wind conditions. Becoming a master at reading the wind will allow you to make calculated decisions while on the water, resulting in more thrilling and effortless sailing experiences.

5. Fine-tuning Your Sail Trim: Adjusting your sails correctly is paramount when it comes to maximizing your Prindle Catamaran’s efficiency and speed. Keep an eye on telltales – these small pieces of ribbon or yarn attached to the sail can provide important indications about airflow. Properly trimmed sails should have smooth airflow, seen through consistent streamlining of telltales. Practice fine-tuning these adjustments to maintain optimal speed and reduce drag while ensuring stability.

6. Navigating Turns Excellently: One of the joys of sailing a catamaran is its exceptional maneuverability. To execute precise turns with finesse, it’s essential first to understand how weight distribution affects each hull during turning maneuvers. Experienced sailors suggest shifting crew weight outward while making quick turns, causing inward force exertion on the hulls for sharper maneuverability. Remember that sharp turns should be executed with caution especially in rough waters.

7. Mastering Capsize Recovery: Catamarans are known for being excellent performers in all winds but occasionally mishaps can occur whereby your boat may capsize unexpectedly due to excessive wind or misjudgment during maneuvers. Therefore, having knowledge of capsize recovery techniques is essential for safety and swift re-launching. Be sure to practice righting your vessel regularly in controlled conditions so that if a capsize does happen unexpectedly, you’ll be well-prepared to flip her over and get back into action swiftly.

8. Expanding Your Skill Set: Continuous learning will always improve your experience as a sailor. Attend local sailing schools or workshops specialized in catamarans if possible – even experienced sailors can benefit from refining their skills. Engage in conversations with fellow sailors, seek advice and join sailing communities to broaden your understanding of the sport. The more you expose yourself to new ideas, techniques, and experiences, the better sailor you will become.

Sailing a 16′ Prindle Catamaran requires a combination of technical know-how, experience, and adventurous spirit. By following these tips and tricks, you’ll not only increase your confidence when handling this incredible vessel but also enhance your overall enjoyment of the high seas. So hoist those sails high, embrace the winds, and let your Prindle Catamaran whisk you away on unforgettable sailing adventures!

While it may sound like a daunting endeavor, fear not! We’re here to guide you through the step-by-step process of constructing this nautical masterpiece.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Materials Before embarking on your catamaran-building adventure, take some time to gather all the necessary tools and materials.

Designing your dream catamaran involves making decisions about sail rigging, seating arrangement, and other customizable features. Get those creative gears turning – after all, this is where personality meets craftsmanship!

Step 3: Laying Out the Hulls With plans in hand (or on screen), it’s time to start turning those dreams into reality. Begin by laying out the dimensions of the hulls on large sheets of marine plywood using wooden battens. Precision is key here; any miscalculations could result in a wonky vessel that vogues more than it sails !

Step 4: Cut It Out! Once you’ve carefully marked out the shape of each hull section on the plywood sheets, grab that trusty jigsaw or circular saw and start cutting along those lines. Remember, measure twice, cut once! Careful craftsmanship will pay dividends when it comes to assembling your floating work of art.

Step 5: Hull Assembly Hilarity Now that you’ve got a pile of freshly minted catamaran hull sections in front of you, it’s time to assemble the pieces like an intricate jigsaw puzzle.

Trust us, you wouldn’t want any unwanted visitors – ahem, water – making its way into your pristine vessel!

Step 6: Craftsmanship Meets Artistry – Deck Construction Once your hulls are firmly joined together, grab your marine plywood and start crafting that captivating deck. This is where the real magic happens; after all, who doesn’t love lounging on a polished teak deck with a cocktail in hand? Cut out meticulously measured deck pieces and lay them down atop wooden beams for added support. Oh yes, we’re getting closer to boat bliss!

Step 7: Fiberglass Fantasia Now it’s time to reinforce your creation with some serious fiberglass muscle! Apply epoxy resin onto the surfaces of both hulls and deck before carefully laying fiberglass cloth on top. Smooth out any potential air bubbles or creases as you go – think of yourself as a master sculptor reshaping reality itself!

Step 8: Let It Shine – Sanding & Finishing Touches With the majority of construction now complete (congrats!), it’s time to give your catamaran some extra flair before setting sail into the sunset. Smooth down rough edges with sandpaper until your fingertips can glide effortlessly over the surface. Add some varnish or paint for that breathtaking finishing touch – now everyone will know just how much panache went into building this masterpiece!

There you have it – an extensive step-by-step guide to building a remarkable 16′ Prindle Catamaran. As you embark on this thrilling journey, remember to embrace the craft’s artistry, infuse it with your personality, and always stay true to your vision. And who knows?

6) Maintenance and Care for Your 16′ Prindle Catamaran

Title: Keeping Your 16′ Prindle Catamaran Shipshape: A Masterclass in Maintenance and Care

Introduction: Ahoy, fellow seafarers! Today, we embark on a voyage through the treacherous waters of maintaining and caring for your prized possession – the majestic 16′ Prindle Catamaran. Just as every sailor respects the sea, it is vital to respect your vessel by following these key maintenance tips . With a touch of wit and cleverness, we present to you our guide to ensure smooth sailing for years to come.

1) Keeping Her Exterior Gleaming: Gentlefolk say that beauty is only skin deep, but when it comes to your catamaran’s exterior, appearances do matter! To maintain her lustrous allure, be sure to wash her thoroughly after each sail with fresh water and mild soap. Remember, a thorough rinse prevents disastrous salt build-up which may lead to corrosion. Go mad with some elbow grease and polish her up periodically to restore her former shine!

2) Guard Against Sneaky Creepers: Alas! The sea is full of tiny hooligans waiting for an opportune moment to invade your boat—namely barnacles and other slimy creatures. Protect your Prindle from these unwanted hitchhikers by investing in an antifouling paint job below the waterline. This savvy technique prevents them from finding a cozy home on your hull while delightfully reducing friction while racing across those waves – fast and furious!

3) Show Some TLC Towards Your Gear: Just as pirates have their trusty cutlass, sailors rely heavily on various gear whose proper care should never be neglected. Rigging is like the backbone of any proud catamaran—a tangled mess spells disaster! Inspect it regularly for signs of wear or fraying and promptly replace any worn-out lines or cables before setting sail again.

4) Embrace the Spirit of the Squeegee: One wouldn’t dare make merry amongst seaweed-filled seas, so why tolerate a murky cockpit? Invest in a trusty squeegee and promptly eliminate any water from the deck. Avoiding standing water will help fend off corrosion, prolonging the life of your rigging, fasteners, and other essential parts .

5) Unleash Your Inner Sherlock: A truly great sailor understands the need for cunning investigation before setting sail . Regularly inspect your Prindle Catamaran’s rudder system to identify any signs of weakness or wear. Check for loose fittings, binding or corroded parts that could lead to potential disasters on rough waters. Address these issues proactively and unleash your inner detective to spot any lurking troubles before they rear their ugly heads!

6) A Little Lubrication Goes a Long Way: In maritime parlance, “squeaky-clean” should solely refer to conversation skills rather than key sailing mechanisms ! Take heed and keep control systems lubricated with marine-grade grease regularly. A little TLC through proper lubrication saves you from squeaks, binds, snags, and keeps things running smoothly during those thrilling races or leisurely cruises .

Conclusion: Dear sailors and adventurers alike, preserving the charm of your 16′ Prindle Catamaran is no mere task; it is an art form! By implementing these witty yet professional maintenance tips into your routine, you can ensure optimal performance while conquering the high seas . Remember: dedication to upkeep today prevents heartache tomorrow. So polish up those dreams of sun-soaked sails; smooth sailing awaits!

When you stop and think about what types of boats are most responsible for luring people into the wonderful world of sailing the Hobie 16 has got to be in the top three on the list. For children of the 1970s and 80s this sexy little catamaran seemed to be sitting on a trailer in every other backyard.

What most simply call the Hobie 16 is an iconic sailboat that is considered by many to be the most popular catamaran in the world. In the beginning, the H16 was marketed as more than some ordinary sailboat that could be easily trailered, rigged and beached. Instead Hobie Alter put forth the idea that to sail this boat was to be part of a lifestyle – the “ Hobie way of life .” Instead of making the pitch that it was a fast fun little boat that could make your summer a little brighter, Alter suggested that sailing a Hobiecat was a reflection of an energized youth with a dash of good-natured rebellion.

There have been over 135,000 of these boats produced since 1969 and they are the second largest boat fleet in existence. The H16 is simple to rig (especially on a beach) and pretty easy to sail, although capsizing is par for the course and regarded by some as fun. Once launched, the full batten main and relatively lightweight construction (320 pounds) makes the boat quite fast and responsive. The Hobie folks state the max speed is nearly 24-knots and there are plenty of Hobie sailors who will agree and verify. At speeds like that you can bet whoever is sailing the boat will be utilizing another element Hobie sailors love – the dual trapeze setup they are equipped with. In 10-15 knots of breeze, skipper and crew can hike their entire bodies out on the wires simultaneously, suspended above the water and as the hull begins to rise, life becomes very sweet. Any beach cat sailor will tell you that sailing along at 15-knots, hiked out and flying a hull is one of the most blissful feelings known to man.

The other very positive aspect of the Hobie 16 is the cost of entry. It remains one of the more inexpensive roads into the world of sailing. A 2017 Hobie 16 is just over $11,000 and that’s ready to sail. Lots of sailboats have a base price and then silly little extras like… sails!! And if the used market is explored, a ready to sail H16 can be picked up for under $1,000, which is pretty incredible.

And lastly, Hobie 16s are also versatile. They’re small enough to throw in the backyard next to the garage without causing marital dismay but once rigged and ready, they’re hearty enough to do some serious coastal sailing. While many Hobie sailors head out for a few hours for some low-key albeit amped up daysailing, others like to actually get in the surf, hit the adrenaline button and use the boat as a surfboard.

It’s a design that has definitely stood the test of time (for good reason) and one that is positive for the sport. The cost to fun ratio is right where we like to see it, so if you don’t have a boat and don’t want to spend a fortune – grab a Hobie 16 and getcha sail on!

The New Befoil 16 Sport Catamaran Finally Unveiled

Do you remember the Voilavion ? Befoil 16 came from this R & D project, imagined by Benjamin Magnard, aiming to create a hydrofoil boat equipped with a tilting mast, which flew from its first sea trials.

Specifications were drawn up in collaboration with VPLP, a naval architecture firm whose reputation is well established, to create a hydrofoil catamaran that is easy to use and accessible to all: the Befoil 16. It is a 16-foot hydrofoil catamaran designed for lovers of new sensations and sailing schools, which is easy to handle, and which, thanks to its large surface area and stability, allows safe navigation over water.

The new Befoil 16 Sport

Made in Europe and assembled on the premises in Lorient, the Befoil 16 Sport is a high-quality construction thanks to the infusion manufacturing process.

This sportier version was launched at the end of 2020. The 16 Sport is lighter, stiffer and more canvasy, for performance on the water. Intended for private individuals and sailing schools, this hydrofoil catamaran adapts to all sailing programmes, to learn how to fly on the water easily and to fill up with sensations.

With its self-regulating T-foils and its 2 load-bearing rudders and glass/epoxy hulls, the Befoil 16 Sport is the latest addition to the Befoil series. In trapeze sport mode, or in comfort mode with theoptional ladders, the 16 Sport provides a great feeling of speed. The boat takes off from 8 knots and can reach up to 20 knots.

Benjamin Magnard, president of Befoil adds: “ Everyone dreams of flying on water! Thanks to the Befoil 16 Sport, all flying boat enthusiasts – whatever their level – can take off as soon as the weather is light, combining pleasure and speed! “.

The 16 Sport recently took off thanks to its distinction as “Foiler of the Year 2021” by French magazine Voile Magazine.

Prindle 16 is a 16 ′ 0 ″ / 4.9 m catamaran sailboat designed by Geoffrey Prindle and built by Prindle Catamarans and Performance Catamarans Inc. starting in 1971.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
LOA: Length overall in feet
Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

8 Best Catamarans That Are 30 Feet or Less

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. We may also earn commissions if you purchase products from other retailers after clicking on a link from our site.

Large-sized catamarans are appealing due to their ample spacing and comfort. Therefore, a cruising family or couple looking to buy a boat is more likely to go for one of these. But are there small cruising catamarans that provide the performance, comfort, and amenities found in larger boats?

The best catamarans under 30 feet (9.14 m) include the TomCat 6.2, Cadillac 27and 30, Gemini 30, Endeavour 30, and Maine Cat. These time-tested cruising cats are easy to handle, premium built, and are great for daytime sailing, overnight trips, and some even suitable for long-range sea passages.

In this article, you’ll find a list of the best cruising catamarans below 30 feet (9.14 m). Keep reading to discover which catamarans make this list, what they have to offer, their pros and cons, and how much they cost.

If you are unsure whether or not 30ft is too small for your needs, then I suggest you check out another article I wrote named Best Size Catamaran , it will discuss why length matters and how it affects safety.

Unlike most catamarans designed for racing purposes, the TomCat 6.2 is a medium-sized cat that’s well-suited to daytime cruising. It boasts high-quality construction, vacuum-bagged hulls, and a plywood-reinforced deck.

This 20 footer (6.09 m) comes with an 11-foot (3.35 m) beam and not only offers you safety and comfort but performance and versatility as well.

This boat has a centrally placed outboard engine and two rudders that allow it to turn quickly and maneuver confidently into and out of marina slips. The 9.9 hp outboard propels it to speeds of around 8 knots (9.21 mph or 14.8 kph), though the boat has the potential to move faster if desired.

This simpler type of cat (just one engine as an example) also allows for cheaper and easier maintenance. Maintenance costs are something most people underestimate when getting a cat, if you want to get some real numbers from actual sailors then I suggest you read this article (How much does it cost to maintain a cat).

The boat sails with minimal heeling, comfortably accommodate 6-8 people, and you can sail it single-handed or take a crew.

High and narrow hulls bearing arched bottoms allow for a low wetted surface. The hull design provides low resistance and a great deal of reserved buoyancy and also enables you to drive through closely spaced waves.

On most 20-footers (6.1 m), driving through waves generates a smooth but wet ride, but with the TomCat’s enclosed deck (link to parts names explained here ), you are safe and protected behind a windshield and the high bulwark.

The TomCat makes an excellent cruiser because it performs impressively well both under sail and power. It combines the performance of a modern sailing cat with the comfort, style, and convenience of a powerboat. It’s also trailerable since you can detach the hulls from the deck , winch up the deck on a trailer, and slide the hulls underneath.

But the best part is that it’s easy on the pocket, with the price ranging between $36,750 and $44,580 .

Catalac 30 (9M)

The Catalac brand consists of strongly built vessels that sport thick hulls, glass windows, narrow beams, and vertical transoms . Catalac 30 was the first vessel in this popular British cruising line designed by Tom Lack in the late 60s. The boat’s appeal was attributed to its safety, ample spacing, well-built interior, and load-carrying abilities.

These characteristics are extremely important on a safe catamaran, overloading your cat makes it sit lower in the water, increases drag, reduces handling and speed, there is stuff you should know about this (so that you can make an educated buy). I have created an article where I try to explain the basics of a safe cat ( link here )

Sporting 5 berths, a massive galley, plus a cockpit with a sheltered steering position, the 30-foot (9.1 m) Catalac makes an excellent floating home for a cruising family. It sails exceptionally well, doesn’t heel ( heeling explained here ), and delivers a reasonable motor-sailer level of performance.

Furthermore, the hulls provide adequate headroom, allowing those on board to move around comfortably, and there’s enough space on the deck for sunbathing.

The Catalac’s structure features solid fiberglass, chined hulls, and a staggered sheerline that allows easy aft access. With a modest rig that’s easy to handle, the Catalac can deliver top speeds of up to 12-14 knots (13.81-16.11 mph / 22.22-25.9 kph) under sail.

Given that the boat’s design focuses more on comfort than speed, this is a spectacular performance.

Catalac 9M requires a skilled hand when turning into the wind as it is prone to blowing sideways. This is because the boat lacks ballast (which helps in keeping momentum during a tack) but also centerboards ( explained here ).

Skills are always the most essential things to bring aboard and you can acquire them in many ways, my two favorite ways are through NauticEd courses (two free courses here ) or by reading books (my top 15 books here )

Back to the boat! This model came in two versions; the standard layout contained a 30-40hp outboard, while the second option had duo engines. The latter is easier to maneuver into a marina.

These cats retain their value pretty well. However, they might not be easy to come by since most owners find it challenging to get their hands on a larger boat with similar qualities and performance.

A Catalac 30 (9M) goes for between $33,000 and $55,000.

Catalac 27 (8M)

The Catalac 27 8M is a pocket cruiser that boasts a strong reputation for high quality, durability, and strength. Besides, the boat’s design makes it somewhat suitable for bluewater sailing ( understand why the small size is an offshore problem).

Built like a battleship, the boat contains solid fiberglass hulls. Additionally, it comes with double engines, a large cockpit fitted with cushions all around, and features standing headroom in each hull.

Like the Catalac 9M, this boat comes with two different layouts; a twin inboard diesel engine or an outboard engine. The twin-engine models can motor up to 1000 km (621 miles, read more on cat fuel consumption here ) without needing to refuel, while the 70 amps of charge plus water tanks (70 gallons / 265 liters) make these vessels remarkable coastal cruisers.

Catalacs equipped with outboard engines sail faster since you can raise the engine during sailing and are also lighter. This helps to minimize drag . Catalac 8M sports a short but thick mast that helps make the boat stable.

Though small in size, this catamaran packs a lot of features in its small frame. It has a full-sized berth, a large galley that’s almost 8 feet (2.4 m) long, a quarter berth, head, and navigation station.

What’s more, the cockpit is as large as that of a 38 to 40-foot (11.5 to 12.1 m) cat.

Catalac 27 costs about $31,836.

The Endeavour 30

The Endeavour 30 catamaran is a boat characterized by stability, ample deck space, and a spacious interior. It boasts fast cruising speeds under both sail and power.

The boat has mini keels and rudders plus symmetrical hulls separated by a hydra-cell. The latter is a center section with a characteristic V-shape.

The boat’s vacuum-bagged construction helps enhance strength and stiffness while reducing weight. Furthermore, the interior has a fiberglass mold, providing extra strength and rigidity. With sufficient breeze, this vessel can deliver reasonable off-the-wind and doable upwind speeds.

As such, you can expect to attain speeds of about ~10 knots (11.51 mph or 18.5 kph) on power reaches. Below is a video showing a panoramic tour of the Endeavour 30:

This vessel has the internal capacity of a 40-foot (12.1 m) monohull. And you can tell this from the unique layout merging the cabin and cockpit with wide doors to the numerous features packed into this 30-foot (9.14 m) vessel.

It has a spacious salon, an enormous galley, two queen berth staterooms with plenty of storage space, a head with separate showers, and a sizable U-shaped dinette.

You can get this boat for under $50,000 .

The Geminis by Tony Smith were the United States’s first production cruising cats. Today, these vessels remain the most appealing American-built cruising catamarans. Built between 1981 and 1990, the Gemini 30 does not have a contemporary design, but it works remarkably well for cruisers desiring generous living space in a small affordable sailboat.

At only 14 feet (4.2 m) across, Gemini cats are somewhat narrow. But this mean s they can easily fit into most of the regular marina berths.

Besides, the boats still contain enough interior space for a queen-size double berth and two smaller doubles housed in separate guest rooms.

There’s also a modest but serviceable saloon with duo settees and a collapsible table that can transform into an additional double berth.

For the Gemini 30, this translates to a cruising cat with standing headroom that can comfortably accommodate 3 couples in private cabins or a family with small children. A good-sized galley, a spacious head with a shower, nav desk, and a large comfy cockpit make up the Gemini 30’s cruising palace.

Catamaran layout is highly personal and if you want to learn more about different characteristics then I suggest you read my article Designing the perfect catamaran layout ( Link )

While not that fast, the Gemini 30 will easily outsail the Endeavor 30 discussed above. Its daggerboards (which are explained in detail here ) can point well, and if you keep it light, it can do 7-8 knots (12.9-14.8 km/hr) under sail.

Besides, raising the daggerboards reduces the wetted surface area, and increases the speed downwind.

The Gemini 30 tends to pound and hobbyhorse a little when sailing in choppy waters – particularly when overloaded (more on load carrying capabilities in this article ), but the deep pivoting daggerboards provide stability and lift underwater.

Furthermore, the Gemini’s retractable rudders enable it to venture into shallow waters.

This is a very popular cruising cat that’ll give you a lot of bang for your bucks.

You can find a Gemini for less than $65,000.

Maine Cat 30

The Maine Cat 30 combines premium quality construction materials with the most advanced building techniques to create a lightweight vessel capable of handling most offshore conditions. What’s more, this boat can remain trouble-free for years on end with little effort.

If you are in the market for a simple liveaboard cruiser that you can use for a short weekend getaway or a cruising voyage, this is it.

The boat has a sizable primary stateroom berth with ample overhead space and a dresser fitted with a hanging storage cabinet. The enormous head includes a toilet, sink, 20-gallon (75.71 L) holding tank, vanity, and a pressurized shower.

Covering the open bridgedeck is a permanent hardtop. This spacious bridgedeck can hold quite a crowd and comes with a convertible dinette that turns into an extra berth. If need be, you can even enclose the entire space using acrylic windows or screens. Gabo

The 360-degree visibility from the cockpit allows the captain plus the crew a panoramic view, and all sail controls go back to the cockpit, which is very useful if wanting to sail single-handedly.

I believe that most boats should be set up in this way since sooner or later you might be in a situation where there is only one person to handle the controls, such as in an emergency. But more on that in another article ( Link ).

The Maine Cat 30 is a classic boat that delivers on high-performance multihull sailing. Designed to offer much better performance than catamarans bearing tall and heavy bridge decks, this cat weighs less and suffers less windage thanks to the acrylic windows.

The boat’s interior layout allows for easy cleaning as surfaces sport a smooth gel coat and satin-finished cherry trim. The solid but lightweight furniture bears the same Core-Cell foam core employed on the hull, deck, and hardtop. Plus, there’s ample storage for all your sailing equipment, cleaning supplies, and provisions.

A Maine Cat 30 can cost up to $110,000.

Heavenly Twins 27

The overall design of this well-equipped catamaran makes it a superb pocket cruiser.

Heavenly Twins 27 manages to fit not one but two coachroofs on hulls that are only 27 feet (8.20 m) long. Canoe sterns and a central cockpit separating the duo coachroofs form the boat’s other prominent features.

Famous for their excellent build quality, medium-depth draft, and narrow beams, Heavenly Twins 27 appeals to a wide range of boating enthusiasts.

These include solo sailors, weekend sailors, cruising families, circumnavigators, beginner sailors, and experienced liveaboards such as this famous Youtube channel “Kittiwake”.

The vessels house double cabins in the hulls while the forward starboard contains the heads and, to port, the galley. You can easily access the bar from the well-protected cockpit while the Comfordesk accommodation converts into a double dock.

A stoop through allows access from below-deck to the aft compartment without going through the cockpit. There’s ample storage space throughout the boat, plus you can section off the large stateroom into smaller double compartments if desired.

The price range for this boat is $ 20,098 to $24,193. (I believe that kittiwake is for sale too)

The last cruising catamaran on my list is the Aquilon 26 . This French-built cruising vessel is light in weight and trailerable, which means you can disassemble it in a few hours or transport it as-is.

Designing a boat that is possible to disassemble usually means that it is structurally less strong, which by no means is a problem during coastal sailing but the Aquilon 26 is mostly attractive to sailors who prefer inland lake sailing. It’s also suitable for beginner sailors.

Although there are no real “beginner cats” there are specs to consider if you are a beginner with catamarans, most of them I have listed in another article ( here ). Gabo

This 26-footer (7.92 m) has the potential for good speed though its layout is anything but conventional- which forms part of its appeal.

The cockpit works as the saloon, and a full bimini protects the crew from lousy weather. The starboard hull contains a dinette and galley, and the port has a double berth stateroom. The windows are quite unusual, but they provide lots of light, remarkably enhancing interior visibility.

Aquilon 26 can deliver an average cruising speed of 10knots (11.51 mph or 18.5 kph).

On a beam reach, you can expect around 25 knots (28.77 mph or 46.3 kph) with an adequate breeze ( I have never sailed at 25knots but researching this boat supposedly it is possible).

You can get this boat for under $50,000.

What Makes Small Cruising Cats Attractive?

Small cruising cats are ideal for sailing along the coast. But that’s not all. Under capable hands, properly fitted smaller cats can also deliver spectacular offshore passages similar to their larger counterpart (Heres a list of full-sized bluewater cats).

They can operate over long cruise ranges, cross oceans , and circumnavigate the globe . Smaller cats are also suitable for day sailing, overnight trips, and coastal or inland voyages.

For most sailors, comfort on board is crucial, so they’ll look for a vessel that guarantees a comfortable cruising experience. The good thing is that smaller vessels provide almost the same qualities and amenities that bigger vessels offer. Plus, you can do quite a bit with the available space, especially if it’s well laid out.

You’ll find that most 30-footer (9.14 m) or more miniature cruising cats comprise a galley, head, bunks, navigation and entertainment electronics, and refrigeration.

Sailors usually talk about these benefits of smaller cats:

They’re less expensive. Large boats are costly to buy. They also cost more to hire, maintain, and dock. You can buy a small-sized boat at a much lower price, and parts tend to cost less too. Besides, you get to use smaller sails, winches, and lighter lines than those applicable on a larger boat. And since marine services such as moorings and haul-outs get billed via boat length, a smaller cat makes sailing more affordable.
They boast superior builds. Most cruising boats under 30 feet (9.14 m) feature designs that are 30+ years old. In those days, weather forecasts were hard to come by and not as accurate, so boat builders used hulls with thicker fiberglass than the type found in today’s builds. Furthermore, everything in the boat, including rigs, rudders, hulls, keels and decks, was designed to withstand strong winds and high waves.
They have simpler systems. This means less time spent fixing and maintaining your boat. For instance, most small cruising cats often lack water-makers, hot water systems, or electric anchor windlasses.
They’re easier to handle. Smaller cats are simpler to sail than larger cats. It’s also easier to sail one single-handed or with a small crew.

What is the largest cat on person can sail?

The Disadvantages of Smaller Cruising Cats

Below are some of the most discussed downsides of small cats:

They have limited living space, storage, and amenities.
Though they don’t heel much, they are less comfortable than larger boats since they get tossed around much more easily in big ocean swells.
It’s not easy to accommodate crew for extended periods; hence there are fewer hands to share work.
They are slower and take longer to get to their destination.

Though fewer are on the cruising trails than their larger counterparts, small catamarans make ideal cruisers because they are simple, seaworthy, and pocket-friendly.

When choosing the best cat for your needs, focus on quality rather than size. A well-planned 30-footer (9.14 m) is reliable and provides ample space for your accommodation, dining, and relaxation, plus a storage room for provisions and any spare parts you might need.

And if you want even more info than I have presented to you in this article I would recommend a book from Serj, he makes it easy to understand why size matters and how to find a cat suited for your needs (amazon link )

40ft Catamaran Models Comparisons

We compare specifications, dimensions, sail area, and pricing on the most popular 40ft catamarans in 2020.

Since 2016, Fountaine Pajot, Lagoon, Leopard, Bali, and Nautitech all rolled out new 40 ft catamaran models in a similar price range that are innovative, spacious, well-built, and comfortable. The latest model to be added to this 40ft array in 2020 is the Bali Catspace.

Bali has done away with the Bali 4.1 model and has designed the Bali Catspace with much improved and innovative features while Lagoon updated their popular L400 and redesigned it with the mast further back to accommodate a self-tacking jib, open scoops, and updated interior. The FP Lucia 40, released in 2016, has pretty much stayed the same, as has the Leopard 40. They are both very popular and successful cats. While the Nautitech Open 40 is a nice sporty sailing cat, it has not really taken hold in the US market with the aft helm stations.

These 40ft catamaran models are affordable and easily be handled by a coupled. It also has all the amenities suitable for a cruising boat such as an ice maker, washing machine, bigger fridge/freezer capacity, and big living spaces, which is very attractive for live-aboard cruising couples.

The 40ft catamaran holds its value because it is in high demand on the used boat market. The 40ft catamaran size range just makes sense.

Read our previous 40ft comparison article for older models: How Do The Most Popular 40-ft Production Catamarans Compare?

New 2020 40Ft Catamaran Comparison

The five main production catamaran contenders in 2020 for liveaboard couples are:

BALI Catspace
FP Lucia 40
Nautitech 40 Open

40ft Catamaran Models Specifications

40ft catamaran deck & flybridge layout comparison, 40ft catamaran deck & flybridge layout comparisons, 40ft catamaran models sail plan comparisons, 40ft catamaran cabin layouts comparisons, 3-cabin layout, 4-cabin layout, reader's question answered: andy asked: "which cat is the best value and what do you budget for upgrades that deliver an above average sailing and comfort experience" .

All the forward deck designs are acceptable and safe, as we have now conclusively seen over the last five years. The current trend is smaller nets and larger foredeck areas for the most part on cruising cats. Performance cats all have nets and longer bows and are a different category to the production cruisers. Lagoon has the biggest living space, Bali has the best live-ability overall and FP and Leopard are very popular for couples with the semi-raised helm position but that too is a personal preference.

In terms of the extras or additional options, I normally recommend the following:

The largest engine option available – this is important for your exit strategy especially in the US market and of course it is nice to have the extra power since the modern cats have quite a lot of windage.
The best winch pack available
All the cleats offered
Mostly it is smart to take the code zero pack even if you do not order the sail immediately (Difficult and expensive to retro fit)
Folding props – I really think that if you are going to do any extended cruising the last thing you want is to be dragging fixed props
Air Conditioning if you want to have it
Generator unless you are going to go Lithium with all the inverters and electronics to replace the generator.
Solar – I normally take the factory option and then add aftermarket to increase the array
If possible cable throttles and not electronic (If you are struck by lightning at least you can still control the engines if they still run)
Electrically assisted davits at a minimum – your dinghy is your “car” so one needs to have an efficient handling system (we raise our dinghy every night for security)
Watermaker is fantastic to have. It really makes life so much easier.
Estelle will definitely opt for the washing machine – we never had one but since she’s had it onboard our Lagoon 450, she will not go without again.

10 thoughts on “40ft Catamaran Models Comparisons”

Fabulous article and great comparisons, thank you. How do they sail? Is there any real difference?

HI Chrissy thank you! The performance of the boats are all very similar. They are all cruising cats, so not exactly rocket ships but totally adequate for a an average cruising couple. You could get a little more performance out of any of these boats depending on how aggressively you sail the boat and the type of sails you have. We race our boat and almost always end up in the top three boats.

Thank you for your article, I think we will go for the Catspace

Your welcome! I think you will be very happy with this choice. Only recommendation for any of these models, is upgrade the engines to 40hp.

In your opinion, which Cat is the the best value and what would you budget for upgrades that deliver an above average sailing and comfort experience? Obviously upgrades can be all over the map but you mentioned upgrading engine to 40hp – what else do you feel are almost ‘required’ upgrades? Thanks!

The pricing for the different brands are generally in the same range since this a competitive space and the manufacturers have to make sure they are not priced out of the market. There are essentially no bad catamarans, most are all built to recognized and enforced codes such as CE so it comes down to personal preference. Some boats have Balsa cores and other have closed cell foam cores, others have large nets, some have small nets and some have no nets, all designs are acceptable as we have now conclusively seen over the last five years.The trend is to smaller nets and larger foredeck areas for the most part. Performance boats all have nets and longer bows and are a different category to the production cruisers. Lagoon is good bang for your buck, Bali has the best liveability and space overall and FP and Leopard are very popular for couples because of the helm position.

In terms of the extras or additional options I normally recommend the following: The largest engine option available – this is important for your exit strategy especially in the US market and of course it is nice to have the extra power since the modern cats have quite a bot of windage. the best winch pack available All the cleats offered Mostly it is smart to take the code zero pack even if you do not order the sail immediately (Difficult and expensive to retro fit) Folding props – I really think that if you are going to do any extended cruising the last thing you want is to be dragging fixed props Air Conditioning if you want to have it Generator unless you are going to go Lithium with all the inverters and electronics to replace the generator. Solar – I normally take the factory option and then add aftermarket to increase the array If possible cable throttles and not electronic (If you are struck by lightning at least you can still control the engines if they still run) Electrically assisted davits at a minimum – your dinghy is your car so one needs to have an efficient handling system (we raise our dinghy every night for security) Watermaker is fantastic to have. It really makes life so much easier. Estelle will definitely opt for the washing machine – we never had one but since she’s ahd it onboard our Lagoon 450, she will not go without again.

This is a big subject and there are many opinions, I would be happy to discuss further -Stephen

We have a 2020 Leopard 40 Owners version. We love it. Just wish it carried a bit more fuel.

Hi Eugene, yes! The Leopards are very popular and we sell many of them. They are definitely a great bang for your buck. Thank you for your input!

The 40 Open has the longest WL, Largest Sail Area and has the lightest displacement… indicating it ‘should’ sail better than the others. Other than the helm position, what are the other differences (drawbacks?) you have observed or can comment on (if any)? It appears to be trying to straddle the ‘performance / cruiser’ designation… would you say it is successful?

Doug, yes you are correct however it is a displacement hull, just like the other cats in this category and while it may be a little lighter and have a bigger sailplan, it sails marginally faster, so that is not too much of a factor. In general they are nice boats but the living space is small and just like the new Excess range from Lagoon, the biggest drawback of these cats in our market is the helm position. The aft helm station have just never caught on, which is the reason that Catana and Outremer also moved their helm stations to the bulkhead rather than on the sterns.

Guide du catamaran

Catamaran de sport, le multicoque de balade et régate, la navigation en catamaran.

Le catamaran de sport est un voilier multicoque, c'est un bateau de voile légère à sensation ! Assez facile d'accès, c'est le meilleur moyen pour naviguer facilement en bord de plage pendant vos vacances. Le multicoque étant plus stable que le monocoque, les catamarans portent de grandes surfaces de voile ce qui les rend très rapides assurant des navigations sur lac ou en mer très amusantes.

Les chantiers et marque emblématique du catamarans sont Hobie-Cat, Nacra, Sirena Voile qui proposent des catamarans de compétition.

Achat d'un catamaran d'occasion

Après avoir découvert la navigation en catamaran à l'occasion d'un stage de voile, vous pouvez avoir envie d'acheter votre propre catamaran. Cela vous permettra de naviguer sur un modèle de meilleure qualité et que vous pourrez entretenir par vous même. Posséder son propre catamaran, en l'achetant neuf ou d'occasion, c'est la possibilité de l'entretenir et l'optimiser au maximum.

Prix de catamaran neuf et occasion

Les catamarans sont des engins assez spécifiques qui sont construit par des chantiers nautiques qui sont souvent des entreprises artisanales : l'achat d'un catamaran coûte cher. Les modèles les plus accessible coûte environ 5000€ neuf et les catamarans de sport les plus chers coûtes jusqu' à 30000€ pour les catamarans volants / foilers.

Un catamaran d'occasion coûtera beaucoup moins cher, la valeur baisse assez vite avec le nombre des années et vous pourrez trouver des bateaux de seconde main à -50% du prix neuf quand le catamaran aura 10 ans ou plus.

Location d'un catamaran de sport

La location est une possibilité qui vous permet de naviguer de temps à autres sur un lieux de vacances par exemple sans avoir à gérer les contraintes de déplacer votre bateau sur une remorque, de trouver un lieu de stockage pour votre cata. Ainsi, la location réduit les contraintes mais elle ne vous permettra pas d'avoir un bateau de top qualité ou parfaitement régler pour votre usage.

Croisière en catamaran

Le catamaran est un bateau rapide, qui offre en plus un volume habitable important : c'est donc une excellente embarcation pour la croisière et la balade. Même un petit catamaran de sport permettra des randonnées ou petite croisière à la journée à la découverte du littoral.

Catamarans habitables

Les productions de Lagoon, Fountaine-Pajot, Catana sont des catamarans habitable prévus pour la croisière ou pour voyager loin. Ces bateaux ont de nombreuses cabines, une zone de vie avec cuisine, grande table : le catamarans habitable c'est le grand luxe de la croisière.

Croisière en catamaran "yacht"

La grande croisière est également possible en catamaran : ces bateaux vous ouvrent les portes de transatlantiques et croisière lointaines. De grandes cabines, des zones habitables spacieuses : le catamaran est un excellent bateau pour la croisière lointaine en famille ou entre amis.

Apprendre le catamaran

Le catamaran est un excellente bateau pour apprendre la navigation dans les écoles de voiles. Beaucoup ont des flottes de catamarans car ces bateaux rapides et sensationnels permettent de découvrir les techniques de barre et l'équilibre tout en offrant des sensations de vitesse importante.

Catamarans de sport

On appelle "catamaran de sport" les catamarans de petite taille, légers et sans cabine. Ce sont des embarcations qui permettent la rando, la balade, la navigation en bord de plage mais également la régate. Le cata de sport, c'est un catamaran qu'il mouille son équipage, on embarque dessus (ou sur son trampoline) en combinaison néoprène pour des navigations la la journée ou à la demi-journée.

Les modèles les plus avancés des catamarans de sport sont maintenant dotés de foils ce qui rend ces catamarans "volants" : ils s'élèvent au dessus des vagues et navigue en sustentation à quelques centimètre au dessus de l'eau.

Remorque catamarans de sport

Nous proposons une section spécifique pour les remorques d'occasion pour catamaran de sport. Tractez votre bateau en sécurité avec une remorque combinée ou misalo dénichée sur Wanaboat !

Les meilleurs catamarans d'occasion en France et en Europe

Pour trouver le bon catamaran d'occasion, que ce soit un Hobie, un Fountaine Pajot ou un Catana, il faut parfois aller loin. Le plus souvent, les catamarans à vendre sont situés sur les littoraux, en Bretagne, dans le Nord (Manche et Normandie), ou encore sur la côte Atlantique. C'est donc dans ces régions et département que vous trouverez le plus facilement un catamaran à acheter. Cependant le Sud de la France, l'Occitanie, la région Paca sont aussi des régions où l'on navigue beaucoup et une part importante du catalogue Wanaboat de catamarans de sport s'y trouve.

Voile - 3 catamarans de 14-16 pieds pour naviguer en solitaire

13 Juin 2012

Rédigé par ActuNautique.com

Pas de problème ! ActuNautique.com vous a déniché 3 catamarans qui satisferont pleinement à votre situation et vous permettront de tirer des bords sportifs, ou pas (encore), dans tous les cas de figure de vous faire plaisir sur l'eau, sans se ruiner, puisque ces bateaux, des 14 à 18 pieds, se regroupent dans deux tranches de prix, autour de 6000 euros ou de 12000 euros !

ACROBAT 15 longueur 4,64m - largeur 2,30m - poids 109 kg - stratifié de verre - Cat'Shop Marine

Foc et spi optionnels, un poids plume qui lui permet d'être mis à l'eau par une personne seule : pas de doute, l'Acrobat 15 est un bateau accessible dans tous les sens du terme : il lève facilement le flotteur, est agréable à barrer au trapèze et vire simplement du fait de son absence de foc ! Simple mais de bonne qualité, à l'instar d'un accastillage Lewmar. Enfin, pas de problème pour naviguer en double si vous parvenez enfin à trouver l'équipier dont vous rêvez !

HOBIE CAT 14 longueur 4,25m - largeur 2,31m - poids 109 kg - sandwich PVC - Hobie Cat Europe

Modèle d'accès de la gamme Hobie Cat, ce 14 pieds ressemble à s'y meprendre à la star du constructeur, à savoir le Hobie CAT 16 ! En particulier si vous optez pour sa version turbo qui propose un grand foc à enrouleur et un trapèze. Rapide, costaud, dépourvu de spi, le Hobie Cat 14 est idéal tant pour les loisirs que pour la régate (classe Isaf International).

SHADOW X longueur 4,80m - largeur 2,40m - poids 98 kg - sandwich PVC - Swell Catamarans

Avec le Shadow X, autant dire que les choses se corsent : léger, toilé, sportif, ce modèle exige un peu d'expérience pour ne pas être rapidement dépassé par les événements. Etre au trapèze avec la barre et les écoutes de GV et de spi, demande en effet un peu d'entraînement, d'autant que l'avaleur de spi décentré à babord complique les choses. Quand tout est maîtrisé, la bête révèle ses talents qui se résument en deux chiffres : 98 kg et 27m2 de voiles au portant : sensations garanties !

How to Calculate Outboard Motor Size for Sailboats

It seems so complex to pick the right engine size for your sailboat. I was done with complex calculations and tried to make it easier here.

How to pick the right outboard motor size for your sailboat? To get the right amount of horsepower needed to efficiently propel a sailboat, divide the displacement of the boat (in lb) by 550. You need approximately 1 HP per 550 lb of displacement or 4 HP per 2200 lb. Most sailboats don't need a motor with more than 30 HP.

In this article, I'm talking about small outboard engines for sailboats. We're talking about displacement hulls here, so in other words: keel boats. They need more power than flat bottoms.

But they're not powerboats - so it's not our mission to go fast. It's our mission to get decent speed, good control over the boat, and the best possible fuel efficiency. Without breaking the bank of course.

Sunset in calm waters from a boat with small outboard motor

If you're serious about getting a new engine, I definitely recommend to get advice from an expert . But you know, salespeople always recommend the Turbo version. Remember that you don't have to overpower a sailboat. Usually you don't need anything over 30 HP. So at least you now know what will work on average.

What is hull displacement?

Hull displacement is the weight of the boat, or the amount of water the boat displaces.
Maximum hull displacement is the weight of the boat when it's fully loaded, including crew.

The weight of the boat is the same as its displacement, because the weight of any object is exactly equal to the weight of the water it displaces (aka: pushes aside). This is called Archimedes Principle.

The weight slightly differs in saltwater from freshwater, because saltwater is heavier. In saltwater, the boat gets a bit lighter. So in theory you can use a smaller engine for a bluewater boat, but in practice this is offset by the stronger current and wind.

How to find the displacement of your boat?

Most manufacturers simply give you the displacement of your boat. If you can't find any data, because, for example, you own an old boat, you can weigh your boat on a truck scale. You can also haul it out and measure it (which is painstaking work).**

Tip: if you're gonna weigh your boat, simply drive it onto a truck scale, and retract the weight of the trailer from the total weight.

Of course, it's not so simple. This formula gives a rough estimate. But for me this was way clearer than all that black magic that I get when I ask people what size engine I should get.

Let's look at the things this formula doesn't take into account.

2-strokes are more powerful than 4-strokes. Two-stroke engines fire once every revolution and four-strokes fire once every other revolution. This makes the 2-stroke twice as powerful. They provide more torque at a higher RPM. But they also wear more quickly. The 4-stroke will last you a lot longer, and its also more fuel efficient.

The right propellor size is just as important as having enough horsepower. With a smaller prop diameter, it has to work harder to generate the same propulsion as a larger diameter. But you can't just go larger always. The prop affects the RPM of your engine, and you have to get in the right range (more on this later). You also have to check the maximum diameter that fits your boat.

Diesels have more torque, because the compression rate is higher than that of gasoline engines. So if you consider a diesel, you can do with less HPs.

High windage hulls (multihulls) need a bit more. A multihull (or larger hull in general) suffers from more friction because of the larger surface. So the engine needs to work a little harder.

If you sail longer distances under power , or against the wind it's a good idea to get a larger engine (but not too large). This helps you to save on fuel since you have lower RPM. Especially if you sail offshore or on open sea. The engine needs to work harder due to stronger wind and current.

If you're just sailing in and out of the marina under power, you may need less HP.

Smooth hull designs need less HPs than bulky hull designs, like the classic wooden clippers and crabbers for example.

It matters to get the right size outboard motor for a couple of reasons.

First of all: smaller engines are cheaper, so you save money on buying the engine.

Secondly: smaller engines use a lot less fuel, so you save money on using the engine.

Thirdly: smaller engines are cheaper to maintain: so you save money on maintenance.

So why not get the smallest engine and get the best fuel economy? There are a couple of advantages to getting a (slightly) bigger engine:

More power means more control (easier to stop the boat, in case you need to)
Finding the sweet spot might actually reduce fuel consumption

The sweet spot

To perform optimally, an engine should get up to speed. The problem with an overpowered boat is that the engine won't rev up to 80 - 90% of the RPM. This kills fuel efficiency and also the cooling system won't operate optimally.

The optimal cruising RPM of the engine is about 85-95% of the maximal RPM
You should reach cruising RPM at hull speed, so your engine should be at about 90% RPM

The propeller size is very important for the RPM. If your prop diameter is too wide, the engine can't get up to speed and struggles to build power. Bad for fuel economy, bad for the engine, and bad for performance.

On the other hand, if your prop is too small, you don't make use of the engine's full power.

If you struggle to get to high RPM, your prop is too large. If your engine is constantly in the red, you're underpropped.

So don't go too big on the prop, but also don't go too small. The easiest way to get it right is to check the engines manual and see what the manufacturer recommends.

You can definitely go too big on a sailboats engine. An overpowered yacht doesn't make any sense. True, it can look cool, but it can't feel cool. Every displacement hull has a maximum hull speed. That means that it cannot go any faster than the max speed. So if your engine can cruise at that speed, it's not getting any better.

The problem with displacement hulls is that they displace the water, or in other words: they push the water in front of them. They cannot move any faster than they can push away the water. And because the resistance increases as speed increases, there's an absolute, physical speed limit for each keelboat.

That's why powerboats have to get out of the water to reach top speed.

Fun fact: the longer your boat, the higher the hull speed. Want to know the maximum hull speed for your boat? You can find it in this article .

So, you can't go faster than your maximum hull speed, so a 50+HP engine is kind of ridiculous. Bear in mind that a large engine also has the following disadvantages:

First of all: larger engines are more expensive, so you spend more money when buying the engine.

Secondly: larger engines use a lot more fuel, so you spend more money when using the engine.

Thirdly: larger engines are more expensive to maintain: so you spend more money on maintenance.

Also, if your engine is too big, it doesn't reach the optimal cruising RPM, so your fuel economy also gets really bad FAST.

I suggest getting the smallest possible engine that gets you to maximum hull speed while it's at roughly 90% of the RPM. As long as it gives you enough control and good handling, it will get you there. If you give up on going fast, you can actually get really good fuel economy and your engine will last you probably 20 years.

If you want to go fast, a sailboat is not the right one for you. You should instead get a powerboat.

I'm just kidding. Read my 13 Reasons Why Sailing is Better Than Powerboating here .

Do sailboats have motors? Most sailboats are power assisted boats, which means they have a small auxiliary engine to cruise in light air. When a sailboat is sailing under engine power, it is considered a motorboat and it doesn't have right of way.

Thanks for answering my questions.

Taylor Bishop

Thanks for explaining how you can figure out what size you need for an outboard motor. You mentioned that you should find the displacement by weigh a boat on a truck scale. I’m interesting to learn if you need to regularly weigh it in case the hull displacement could change or if it will always be consistent.

Shawn Buckles

Hi MitI, you’re welcome, my pleasure.

Hi Taylor, my pleasure.

You don’t need to weigh your boat regularly, as the hull displacement will stay consistent. You could literally see the hull displacement as the amount of space your hull takes up in the water. So as long as you don’t make any major changes to the hull shape or ballast of your boat, you should see no differences in displacement.

Roger S Johnson

How do you measure for shaft size, most outboard motors are for flat bottom and say measure to the bottom of the boat, most sailboats tapper to the aft. Where do you measure for a tapered bottom sail boat?

Will a 5 horse Honda 4 stroke be ok for a 25 foot Pearson Commander sail boat. Thanks for your time Luke

I think it would be Luke.

Great post, thanks for the info. A naive question from a soon-to-be sailor: I’m considering buying a 28 ft sailboat, with 2500 kg (ca. 5500 lbs) displacement. The engine is in pretty good condition, but is old and the original one (from 1977!), so I am also thinking of an alternative scenario in which it fails. I know that in my area replacing an inboard engine will cost double the price I’m putting down for the boat, and since I’m on a budget, that simply won’t be an option and outboards seem to be cheaper. So the question is: is it possible to put an outboard engine on all boats? Is there some factor that would make it impossible to mount an outboard engine on the boat? Thanks!

Garth Powelson

What is minimum length that a sailboat can go without an outboard. Does a 29’ “require by law” to have engine?

Hello Mr. Buckles, Thanks for the informative article. I’m looking to get the smallest possible outboard for my 1.5 ton displacement fiberglass monohull Hood 23’ sloop. Can I get away with a 4HP?!? What size prop would I need?!? (I’m only going to use it when there is NO wind, and, if I can stay 4HP or below, I am not required to register my vessel—which is pretty cool, so here’s hoping!)

Thanks again, Ship

Hi, I’ve got a older Pearson 39’ . I’m looking to remove the old 40 ho westerbeke and go electric. Unsure of what hp is going to be needed?

emilio h javier

i am purchasing a catalina 22 ft. i have in mind a 4 HP motor. what would be the length of the shaft.

I am considering buying a 25 ft sailboat with a 7200 lb displacement. The boats top speed is listed at 7knots per hour but the diesel motor does not work. The owner has a 9.9hp outboard that can be purchased with the boat. Is 9.9hp enough to power the boat to at least 5 to 6 knots per hour? Thanks. Rick

What weight outboard would be too much for a 20’ Santana, displacement 1,350 lbs? I don’t want too much weight at the back. I want the boat to be seaworthy.

I have not seen this amount of BS in years :) I’m not a marine engineer, yet physicist & avation engineer. You even can’t tell the difference between mass of the vessel and diplacement :D Fcking genius.

Guide d'Achat Voile 2023 - Multicoques de 50 à 60 pieds

Article publié le 03/12/2022

Par Emmanuel van Deth

n°216 déc. / janv.

Cette catégorie, sur le plan des entrées et des sorties, est la plus active de toutes, preuve que la plupart des constructeurs tentent de s’imposer sur ce créneau des grands multicoques. Les 50 à 60 pieds rassemblent les grands croiseurs de série et les premiers semi-customs. 15 à 18 mètres de coques, c’est également le partage entre deux univers : celui des unités qui restent maniables en équipage privé et réduit, et un autre, les modèles qui nécessitent un équipage professionnel. Un marin ou skipper sera intégré pour profiter des extraordinaires qualités de ces multicoques de grande taille. La frontière se situe le plus souvent à 55 pieds. Dans tous les cas, place à des multicoques particulièrement confortables et/ou performants.

ST FRANCIS 50 MK2

Il est prêt à affronter toutes les mers.

Fort de son expérience avec les St Francis 44 et 48, le constructeur sud-africain a lancé un 50 pieds plus confortable encore et récemment amélioré sous le vocable MK2. Si le design semble très classique et la nacelle plutôt basse comparée à ce qui se fait en Europe, le St Francis 50 se révèle un catamaran très marin, robuste et capable d’affronter le pire des coups de vent. A l’intérieur, le chantier peut s’accorder avec tous les desiderata de ses clients, et assure un excellent niveau de finition.

Constructeur : St Francis Marine Longueur : 15,25 m Largeur : 8,00 m Tirant d’eau : 1,25 m Déplacement : 12,5 t Grand-voile : 87,6 m2 Génois : 53 m2 Motorisation : 2 x 57 CV Carburant : 880 l Eau : 1 350 l Prix prêt à partir : 1 230 000 US$ HT

Génois à recouvrement, le retour !

Le Lagoon 51 est en fait une évolution du 50. Quoi de neuf ? On note que les jupes arrière sont sensiblement plus longues, et surtout dotées d’un débord latéral afin de faciliter la circulation lorsque le catamaran est à quai. Le poste de pilotage surélevé et les bains de soleil, toujours accessibles des deux côtés, se muent en un véritable flybridge, complété par un solarium avant. Le constructeur est également parvenu à intégrer 2,7 kWc de panneaux solaires. La grande surprise, c’est la disparition du mât posé sur le rouf, accompagné du sacro-saint foc autovireur. Lagoon a donc fait machine arrière en reposant son mât à l’avant de la nacelle. A l’intérieur, la disparition de l’imposante épontille profite à l’agrément de la nouvelle nacelle, qui adopte un Alpi chêne sable. Les retours d’expérience du 50 – 300 exemplaires vendus tout de même – ont permis de reprendre 70 points, comme les holding tanks de nouveau gravitaires (et non sous les planchers). Lagoon adopte une sellerie constituée de matériau 100 % recyclé et des capots réalisés en fibre de chanvre et en partie avec de la résine biosourcée. Le Lagoon 51 n’est pas encore complètement Forever Green, mais on y est presque !

Constructeur : Lagoon Longueur : 15,35 m Largeur : 8,10 m Tirant d’eau : 1,38 m Déplacement : 19,91 t Grand-voile : 97/100 m2 Génois : 53 m2 Motorisation : 2 x 80 CV Carburant : 830 l Eau : 2 X 520 l Prix : 774 417 € HT

Flybridge pour tout le monde !

Précurseurs du pont/cockpit avant – devenu en 10 ans incontournable ou presque –, les architectes Simonis & Voogd ont optimisé le concept et l’espace à bord de ce catamaran de 50 pieds capable d’accueillir jusqu’à cinq cabines plus équipage. Le bilan de ce travail se traduit par une aisance de circulation incroyable à bord. Au départ, le Leopard 50 était disponible avec ou sans fly – Leopard 50 L ou S. La formule « avec » s’est imposée naturellement avec ...
