Kraken yachts are engineered to withstand the toughest conditions, ensuring that you and your crew stay safe no matter where your journey takes you. Trusted sources in the boating community have recognized Kraken Yachts as the safest choice for sailors.
Catamarans and trimarans can have multiple hulls and these styles can handle rough water and make the best boats for the ocean. If you plan to stay near the coast, flat-bottomed boats are great boats for shallow water.
The reputation of Kraken Yachts as the safest choice for blue water sailing is not merely a result of marketing hype; it is a testament to the real-world performance and reliability of our vessels.
Due to their wide beam and dual-hulled design, catamarans are less prone to heeling (tilting) than their monohull counterparts. This stability ensures that onboard activities can continue even when the sea gets a bit rough, making it a preferred choice for those who're new to sailing or are prone to seasickness.
For what it's worth, most long-term ocean cruising sailors tend to find that their own sweet spot is somewhere between 11m (36ft) and 14m (46ft) long, while 9-12m (32-40ft) seems to suit many solo sailors, but the right size of boat is intensely personal and the increasing reliability and efficiency of powered sail- ...
The French Merchant Marine has certified ETAP Yachts unsinkable; the only builder of ocean-going sailboats in the world awarded this distinction. Even in a completely flooded condition, water only rises to the level of the settee bunks in the main cabin.
Combine these two effects— sails producing less heeling moment, ballast producing more righting moment as the boat heels— and you'll see that it's very, very unlikely you'll capsize in a keelboat.
Sailing dinghies are usually rigged with one mast and one sail and offer kids and new sailors simplicity so it's easy to learn the ropes. Less overwhelming than boats with two sails, dinghies are light and responsive. They also have a shallow draft due to side or centerboards so they can be sailed just about anywhere.
Monohull boats with a deep-V or more deadrise at the forefoot will track better and pound less than flat bottom vessels. Deadrise is the angle between the bottom of the hull and a horizontal plane. Optimum angles are 20-24 degrees for a soft ride when going into head seas.
Motoryachts, especially superyachts and megayachts handle rough sea really well. When it comes to handling rough seas, luxury motor yachts come to the forefront with their exceptional seaworthiness and stability. Superyachts and megayachts, with their larger size and weight, offer a smoother ride in choppy waters.
These include flat bottoms, round bottoms, vee bottoms as well as multihulls. The most stable boat hull design is considered the flat bottom hull. This kind of design offers more stability than the rest due to its flattened bottom.
Combining strength and style, the DB50 is built to CE Classification A, the highest rating possible, meaning the yacht can tackle extended voyages, withstanding winds over Beaufort Force 8 and significant wave heights above four metres. The same applies to the spectacular nautical range of 400 to 450 miles.
Mostly. Sailboats work when there is wind, which creates waves. So by design they need to be safe in rough seas, compared to something like a pontoon boat or hydroplane designed to be used in calm waters.
Over the years, catamaran design and construction have evolved. Modern catamarans are built with rough seas in mind, incorporating features that enhance their seaworthiness.
Can your boat survive a direct hurricane hit? Absolutely. Our boat has weathered two direct hits—Hurricanes Marty (Cat 1, 2003) and Irma (Cat 4, 2017)—with minimal damage. Additionally, it has been within 50 miles of the center of at least a dozen other storms.
Multi-hulled boats are some of the most stable on the water. They also require more room to steer and turn. Examples of common multi-hulled boats are catamarans and pontoon boats .
Typically, cruisers settle on yachts that are 40-42ft in length, as these are cheaper to moor while still comfortable to live on. Circumnavigating families opt for boats over 50ft.
