When sailing the Bahamas on my monohull it became very apparent to me that for some reason catamarans would always reach the destination before we did. Now I know why, but what I didn't know was that trimarans are even faster! Actually, the world record for circumnavigating the world is set on a trimaran. so why is it that trimarans are faster than both catamarans and monohulls?
The main reason why a Trimaran is faster than a catamaran of the same size is that the Trimaran has less hydrodynamic resistance than the catamaran. Trimarans are using the same principles as Catamarans to move the boat forward but it is able to do it more efficiently since it spreads out the displacement over three hulls instead of two. This makes it possible to make each hull more narrow and thus more streamlined.
