trimaran

A trimaran is a type of boat that has three parallel hulls—one central hull and two smaller outer hulls called amas. This design provides greater stability and speed compared to single-hulled boats, as the outer hulls help balance the vessel and reduce sideways drift. Trimarans are popular for both racing and cruising because they are lightweight, efficient, and stable in the water. Their wide stance makes them less prone to capsizing, offering a comfortable and secure ride even in challenging conditions.
