A total of 15 boats participated, including eight monohull and four multihull sailboats, and three powerboats. |
Whether single-screw, twin-screw, tugboat, catamaran, or classic monohull, the boats are tough oceangoing vessels that chug along for long distances. |
Capsizing a multihull is not like rolling over in a monohull, whose keel usually causes it to roll upright again. |
In a close-run race, he finished second and claimed a world record for the number of miles sailed by a monohull boat in 24 hours. |
The crew hopes that in 2005, the 140 ft schooner will become the first single-hulled yacht, or monohull, to cover the distance in less than 80 days. |
The wind has finally returned and a steady northerly breeze of some 15 knots whisked the monohull and multihull fleets around their respective courses. |
