  • Catamarans & Multihulls
(Update: This article originally linked to "Catamaran Magazine", of which the link no longer works. I chose to update this with a link to Multihulls from Sailing Magazine).

The word 'catamaran', although colloquially associated with a high-speed boat, has its origins in South Asia. It is an anglicized form of the Tamil phrase "kattu maram" (which translates literally as "tied wood/log") for a raft. "Catamaran" has multiple evocations-South Asia, the shared colonial history of South Asian nations, the contribution to English of South Asian languages, the sense of adventure in setting out on a raft, the energy of movement, the turbulence of the oceans."

One thing to keep in mind is that every good raft might need a sail! Hey, I had to throw a raft in here somewhere! For fun I also wrote a catamaran story some time ago.
