Catamaran questions

Asked and answered.

How many people can sleep on a catamaran?
6-12 depending on length. A standard 46 ft cat is 4 double cabins (8 berths) + saloon convertible (10). A 50 ft+ adds a fifth or sixth cabin.
Are catamarans easier to sail than monohulls?
Easier in some ways (no heel, forgiving twin-engine docking, big stable deck), harder in others (windage in cross-winds when manoeuvring, slower upwind). Net: similar skill level needed.
Can I bareboat a catamaran?
Yes — same licence as a sailboat (ICC + VHF or RYA Day Skipper). Some operators ask for prior catamaran experience or a checkout sail in marina; we flag any operator-specific rules in your quote.
Is a catamaran really more comfortable?
At anchor, yes — much more stable in swell. Under sail, depends: in light wind, more comfortable; in 20+ kts and a chop, less efficient but smoother feeling. Crucially, less seasickness.
