Driving Twin Hull Boats

[Parrot_King]

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on how to drive twin hull boats?

Ive heard alot of people saying its different to driving a mono hull and that once you know how you really get to experience what the twin hull can do?

so any info on this would be great

Don't you just point them where you wan't to go and floor it, just like a single hull.

thanks angla,

alot of people say it takes a bit of learning to be able to drive them properly

Putting it simply; a monohull corners like a motorbike and a cat corners like a car. That's the basic difference, the other differences are more subtle. Hope that helps.

This comes up all the time, it depends on what you want, you can "set and forget" if you like, that is, set up a reasonable cruise speed and sit back and drive, or you can wring out ever bit of speed it is capable of, to do this requires experience (especially trim) and some throttle use, in good ahnds a Cat can achieve unbelievable speeds and performance, or you can just cruise and enjoy the trip.
