Monohall vs Catamaran; The great debate

Which boat is better? The verdict usually falls down to personal preference or the type of sailing you are doing, as Dee Caffari explains in our blog. Each boat has its distinct pros and cons, so don't just go with what you know. When booking your yacht charter, consider the options and weigh up the benefits of each.
