Monohulls
Monohulls are boats with a single, main hull that provides stability and buoyancy. Unlike multihulls (such as catamarans with two hulls), monohulls rely on their shape, weight distribution, and keel—a retractable or fixed fin underneath—for balance and to resist tipping. They are common in sailing and motorboats, valued for their traditional design, maneuverability, and ability to handle various sea conditions. The single hull offers a streamlined, efficient platform, making monohulls popular for both recreational sailing and racing.
