Whois & Analysis for sailboatlistings.com

A daysailer, day sailer, or dayboat is a small sailboat with or without sleeping accommodations but which is larger than a dinghy.

Dayboats can be monohull or multihull, and are typically trailer-able.

Many dayboats have a small cabin or "cuddy" for storage and to provide shelter, or for sleeping in, but which is not always large enough to stand erect in.

Dayboats' greater stability also distinguishes them from dinghies, and are generally sailed more like a small yacht than a dinghy.

For example, although crew weight may well be shifted to increase performance, this is not crucial to stability, as it is in a dinghy.

The distinction between keelboats and day sailers is not always clear.

Generally, the former term indicates a large boat (over 27 feet (8.2m) and usually, though not always, not trailer-able) used for longer trips, whereas daysailers, as the name implies, are used for trips less than 48 hours, and often only a single day.

A sailboat or sailing boat is a boat propelled partly or entirely by sails smaller than a sailing ship.

Distinctions in what constitutes a sailing boat and ship vary by region and maritime culture.

A catamaran (/ˌkætəməˈræn/) (informally, a "cat") is a multi-hulled watercraft featuring two parallel hulls of equal size.

It is a geometry-stabilized craft, deriving its stability from its wide beam, rather than from a ballasted keel as with a monohull sailboat.

Being ballast-free and therefore lighter than a monohull, catamarans often have a shallower draft (draught) than comparably-sized monohulls.

The two hulls combined also often have a smaller hydrodynamic resistance than comparable monohulls, requiring less propulsive power from either sails or motors.

The catamaran's wider stance on the water can reduce both heeling and wave-induced motion, as compared with a monohull, and can give reduced wakes.

A trimaran is a multihull boat that comprises a main hull and two smaller outrigger hulls (or "floats") which are attached to the main hull with lateral beams.

Trimarans are most commonly sail-driven yachts designed for recreation or racing, but there are a few trimaran ferries and warships.
