3. Catamaran sailboat manufacturers
Catamarans are one of the most popular light, sailing vessels amongst sailors and
manufacturers of sailboats. They are usually known as pleasure boats and are remarkable
for their speed and power. Manufacturers have also made efforts to keep the popularity of
catamarans high on the list of sailors by creating a wide range of models. Some catamarans
are as small as fourteen feet and some larger than 35 feet. They could also have a capacity
of hundreds of people on its deck. However, as international catamaran manufacturers now make
them, catamarans are power boats and not paddle boats. There are a few wood models still around,
but most of the new ones are made of fibre glass or PVC.
