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.

Powerboats are vessels with an onboard or outboard engine that powers them and allows them to gain speed and move on the water in a way that feels like it is just sliding on the surface. As such, they are also known as speedboats. Learn more about powerboats and their speed on TheBoatDB. Pick a model and check out its maximum velocity, <a href="https://theboatdb.com/maker">manufacturer</a>, whether it is an outboard motorboat or inboard one, and other features and specifications on our online database.

Ocean Class, the culmination of two years of research by our naval architects and design teams, the new CATANA OCEAN CLASS set standards for luxury and exception in Blue Water Cruising. She is as light as she is strong, thanks to the mastery of “CARBON INFUSION” technology, now used on all Catana boats. Her new hulls and daggerboards have been the subject of hydrodynamic studies and really puts into context the pleasure of sailing at wind-speed, in absolute comfort and total safety.&nbsp;&nbsp;

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.

PEGGY BAWN is a rare thing indeed. The number of surviving vessels from pioneering Clydeside yacht designer George Lennox Watson’s lifetime (1851-1904) can be counted on a careless carpenter’s fingers. Long gone are his huge America’s Cup challengers and “Big Class” racing yachts, and only two of the fleet of palatial steam yachts – the superyachts of their day – from his Glasgow drawing boards are known to survive, in fabulous condition although barely recognisable from their original appearance. It is left to PEGGY BAWN to carry the flame for Watson’s groundbreaking mid-1890s work in setting the standard for moderation in sailing yacht design, work that has never been challenged – only endorsed by those who followed his lead through the 20th century, especially Olin J. Stephens, who was a self-confessed Watson fan. PEGGY BAWN’s gilded “fiddle” bow was anachronistic even at her launching in 1894, partly a past fad, partly practical, undoubtedly beautiful – an interim stage in the development of extending immersed waterlines for faster sailing when heeled with a more buoyant hull – but it conceals the fact that when her award-winning restoration team began assessing what they’d found in a County Waterford hay barn in 2003, they quickly realised that the “numbers” – yacht designer speak for the various ratios that define a hull – were simply a scaled-down version of those for Watson’s famous royal racing cutter Britannia of 1893. Her name gave rise to the so called “Britannia Ideal”, as she was and is considered the epitome of sea kindliness. PEGGY BAWN's present owner can vouch for that from fourteen seasons of racing and cruising aboard her in northern and Mediterranean Europe, and east coast USA. PEGGY BAWN is quite simply the best behaved yacht any of them had had the pleasure to sail. And her rebuild and restoration set new standards for documentation and authenticity. She's special.

PEGGY BAWN is quite simply the best behaved yacht any of them had had the pleasure to sail. And her rebuild and restoration set new standards for documentation and authenticity. She's special.
<h4>History</h4>
Designed by G L Watson and built by John Hilditch in Carrickfergus for the Commodore of the Carrickfergus Sailing Club, J. Alfred Lepper, PEGGY BAWN was launched in 1894. Watson was the pre-eminent yacht designer of the period, having designed BRITANNIA for the Prince of Wales in 1893 as well as numerous others. He also personally raced in comparably sized yachts to PEGGY BAWN.&nbsp; The yacht was very little altered and generally lightly used for most of her life. By the end of the 1990s and out of commission an abortive start on her restoration was made. The current owner purchased her in the winter of 2002-03 for complete restoration. The owner, Hal Sisk, has previously owned and restored several sailing yachts. His project manager, Iain McAllister, is a professional yacht captain and had known of PEGGY BAWN since the early 1980s. The boat builder was Michael Kennedy, a very experienced shipwright who led a small team of other craftsmen. The consultant naval architect was the late Theo Rye, who specialised in restoration work of wooden sailing yachts. The marine engineer was Harry Hannon. The restoration / rebuild was over two years, from April 2003, and took place in a modern, roofed and well lit workshop at Rathmoylan, Dunmore East, Co Waterford. Featured on the front covers of “Classic Boat” and “Wooden Boat”, this exemplary restoration was covered in 9 successive articles in Classic Boat. She was winner “Restoration of the Year” Germany 2006. Today she is competitive under CIM and Baltic Racing Rules.
<h4>Restoration Rebuild Refit and Maintenance</h4>
The restoration / rebuild was over two years from April 2003 at Dunmore East, Co Waterford, Ireland, by a team of boatbuilders led by Michael Kennedy with coordination by Iain McAllister and naval architecture by the late Theo Rye. Prior to starting the rebuild, two months were spent recording the dimensions, construction processes and materials of the original, and a full size lofting took place, recorded on CAD. In general the original work and the rebuild were done to standards exceeding those of Lloyd’s Register Yacht &amp; Small Craft rules (although there is no evidence the yacht was ever classified). PEGGY BAWN has been completely rebuilt to the extent that she has a completely new hull and deck atop the original lead keel. Certain sound non structural parts of the original were retained and re-used such as the fore hatch, skylight, companionway hatch, cockpit seating, the majority of the interior furniture, the tiller and rudder head and most of the rig. Since restoration she has continued to be professionally maintained. The electric engine installation was novel at relaunch in 2005 and has proven very successful. In 2019, given the improvements in battery technology over the previous 14 years, the opportunity was taken to replace the original 8 x AGM batteries weighing 240kg with 4 x lithium batteries, all on top of the keel - reducing the battery weight by about a third, with the result that PEGGY BAWN sits on her true waterline again.
&nbsp;
