	Monohull
		Basically, the V shape of the bottom of a normal monohull is flatter than that of a Deep-Vee.
		A monohull is a great first boat because it is relatively easy to build, setup, and run.
		A monohull can also handle chop that can stop other types of boats, but is not quite as fast as some of the more advanced boats such as hydroplanes.

	Monohull or Catamaran-what's right for you? Bay Yacht Agency Page Bay Yacht Agency Group.
		Especially if you’re considering load-carrying capability, for a monohull: subtract the ballast figure, plus about 15% of the total displacement (to allow for heavier rig and structure to carry the keel loads) and then look at Cats in the same displacement range as the result.
		Build a monohull with excessive beam and a hard (squareish) bilge section and you have a clumsy boat that has a very uncomfortable motion—but lots of form stability.
		True, Monohulls are generally self-righting, and so long as all the ports are closed and the hatches (main, cockpit and deck) fully dogged down and secure they can roll completely over, or get tumbled in large waves and re-right themselves (generally sans rigging).

	Catamaran Vs Monohull
		Monohull sailors have for years argued that multihulls are not nearly as safe.
		Fact is, monohulls sink about as often as catamarans capsize, which explains why Lloyd’s insurance policies on cruising cats are nearly the same for cats and monohulls of similar value.
		Monohulls can be bought cheaper new and the buyer of a monohull has a lot more choice of builders.

	Sailing - Monohulls vs Multihulls
		The heel of a monohull gives you a good clue that the wind is picking up and that you may be carrying too much sail.
		Where in a monohull you probably ignore the main when tacking, in a multihull you would sheet it in to allow it to act like a wind vane to help steer the bow around.
		All in all, it is obvious that the beauty of, and choice of, multi vs monohull is in the eye of the beholder.
