How does a Shoalsailer sail compared to a catamaran?
In spite of advertising claims, most cruising catamarans do not sail very well to weather or tack easily. Like “shoal draft” monohulls using a centerboard or daggerboards, 30 to 35 foot catamarans have an actual “sailing draft,” (with board down) of well over 6 feet. The Shoalsailer sails better with 30 inch draft than a 35 foot monohull or catamaran drawing over 6 feet.
