multihulls are probably one of the most primitive types of boats, but also perhaps the most modern. As the Polynesians colonized
South Seas aboard catamarans praus with side floats, but today, catamarans and trimarans are going increasingly imposing both cruise ships and competition.
see an increase in cruising catamarans in our waters, comfortable for these purposes, with its stability and high occupancy, where the French once again the most fans in this type of multihull sailing.
But especially in the high competition that multihulls are being implemented, from catamarans racing circuits, the major search engines record circumnavigation overseas or to the deployment in the more traditional competitions such as the America's Cup where it seems that multihulls have been established (watch the French in the next edition)
or creating new prototypes or classes to race around the world, back to Europe and transatlantic races such as the emerging MOD 70. Novel 
trimarans monotype class to which they are targeting some of the great ocean sailors French. Interestingly most of these, and for years, ocean tours combine class with IMOCA Open 60 multihull, of which are also one of the best specialists. But that's the philosophy of the French ocean sailors, maximum speed, the boats are almost always at maximum performance and if hood, get them out of there.
multihulls Personally I do not inspire much confidence when navigating in harsh wind and sea, their erratic movement, great stability until the lost, unable to recover, and more "fragile" structural causes attention and care to be manned to be maximum, and yet ...
Instead you have to admit that they are the fastest, if that is what is sought.
