<p>Monohull boats are vessels with just one hull, as the name itself suggests. They can be monohull <a href="https://theboatdb.com/boats/type/sail">sailboats</a> or <a href="https://theboatdb.com/boats/type/power">powerboats</a>, which means they can be powered by an engine or by the wind. In addition, monohull boats can have a high level of luxury on board and can therefore be referred to as monohull yachts. At TheBoatDB you can look into monohull boats and explore their features. In addition, you can filter your search through monohull sailboat manufacturers and explore all models available on our site. Compare all models on our website from the comfort of your home.</p>

<p>The 471 was designed to be a good all round boat.&nbsp; It does everything well, without breaking any outright speed records, and the interior design of the 471 was well thought out and remains popular. These are performance cruisers, certainly faster than most crusing catamarans, and the 471 will point well upwind, but they are heavier than other performance brands such as Outremer. The Catanas slot in between a Nautitech and an Outremer on the performance/comfort scale.</p>

<p>Catamaran boats falls under the multihull boat category. This is a vessel with two hulls, connected through a platform that creates one catamaran yacht. Check out all multihull boat specifications on this website and learn more about them. Catamaran sailboats can be used for world cruising, fishing, chartering or day-sailing. These vessels can have only engines as propulsion means, instead of sails, in which case they are known as powered catamarans and are quite popular thanks to their stability and maneuverability. Explore all different types of catamaran sailboats on TheBoatDB and learn more about this design that dates back hundreds of years ago.</p>

<p>Balance founder, Phil Berman, prides himself on delivering a balance (pun intended) of excellent performance and easy living. The Balance 442 is the work of Du Toit Design and like all Balance catamarans, she’s built in South Africa. You may think it’s easy to create a duplicate of an existing boat that’s just scaled down, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Delivering all the systems, comfort and sailing gear on a smaller platform is very difficult indeed but the new model pulls it off.<br><br>Balance cats are built for performance and strength with a vacuum infusion construction and the use of e-glass and carbon fiber reinforcement in structural elements. Since these cats tend to venture off the beaten path, they also have crash boxes in the bows to prevent catastrophic results in case of collision. Fixed keels are available, but the tapered dagger boards (finished with graphite to help them slip up and down more easily) are a Balance trademark and will likely be spec’d by owners looking for performance and high pointing ability.</p><p>Spar craft rig carries 1,205 square feet of upwind sail area between an easy self-tending jib and a square-top mainsail. All lines are led to two Harken winches and nine Spinlock clutches. Specifying a third winch will help with line handling.<br><br>Making full use of the dagger boards for our upwind progress allowed us to point up to 40 degrees apparent wind angle (AWA) where we held onto 6.5 knots of speed over ground on the mostly flat waters of Chesapeake Bay in 16 knots of true wind. Sailing as high as 40 degrees is a big deal on a catamaran. When we eased to 70 degrees AWA, we ticked up to 11.2 knots and the fun really started.<br><br>The self-tending jib is a snap but it was the screecher that made the boat fly and we were pleased to see it worked well all the way up to 60 degrees AWA so it’s not just a downwind sail. A cruising couple can easily manage the jib/screecher sail combination even in a blow.<br><br>Our test boat was equipped with the upgraded 45-hp Yanmar diesels and we motored back to the marina at 7.4 knots at 2200 rpm. You can add a knot to that at full open throttle, but it will cost you at the pump and won’t really get you home any faster. We hoisted the dagger boards almost all the way up when motoring because there was no sea state to speak of and because we wanted to reduce drag. You don’t want to raise them completely however or the hulls won’t track since there are no keels. Keeping the boards down at rudder protection depth – just under four feet – works well. For best results, keep them at the same depth when manoeuvring in tight quarters because you’ll have counter-intuitive results with uneven appendages below the waterline.</p>

<p>For many years, cruiser design has taken its inspiration from racing. This caused us to think ”Why not take a completely different tack?”&nbsp;</p><p>That is, build new yachts that evoke the esthetic of yesteryear but that take full advantage of modern-day technology. Which is exactly what we did. We created a completely new range of Aphrodite yachts, for people who appreciate classic beauty and are looking for<br>something out of the ordinary.&nbsp;</p><p>The legacy from the legendary yachts built on the Swedish island of Orust is plain to see. The hull’s soft sweeping forms are a pleasure to the eye. A deck of teak is just as obvious a choice as a superstructure of mahogany. Old-fashioned fresh air vents and a wooden steering wheel are details that make for an attractive overall look. A solid construction in every respect ensures a smooth and stable passage through the water. Rig and hardware are first rate.&nbsp;</p><p>Down in the cabin you’ll find quality craftsmanship, executed with extreme attention to detail. A classically designed mahogany interior. Cosy but light, with unsurpassed<br>comfort. Lighting fittings and hardware of brass have just the right feel. Dimensions are generous and the layout is particularly well considered. It’s a place where you’ll be happy to spend time.&nbsp;</p><p>Aphrodite are yachts for a small and exclusive set of sailors, a select group of boat lovers who value tradition and history.</p>
