| ARTICLES RELATED TO Xebec | | | |  Xebec: Encyclopedia II - Trimaran - SafetyOverall, trimarans are much safer than a monohull as the lack of a heavy keel, combined with the two (usually sealed) amas makes for a nearly unsinkable boat.
Because of their stability and safety, trimarans such as the Challenger class have become popular with sailors who have restricted mobility.
Potential buyers of trimarans should look for one that is designed with amas with multiple sealed partitions, controls that all run to the cockpit, a collision bulkhead, partial or full cockpit coverings or windshields, and drain holes in the cockpit that can adequately drain the c ...

| | | | | | | | Xebec: Encyclopedia II - Proa - History of the proa The proa was, into the 20th century, one of the fastest sailing craft in existence. Indeed, the proa still forms the basis for the design of many boats involved in speed sailing.
There has recently been a resurgence in interest in the proa in the Marshall Islands, one of the locations the craft were traditionally built. There is also a loose group of individuals from all over the world with an interest in the proa, both from a historical perspective and from a scientific and engineering perspective. Many of these individuals with interests in proas can be ...

| | | | | | | Xebec: Encyclopedia II - Trimaran - Construction Trimarans have a number of advantages over comparable monohulls (conventional, single-hulled sailboats). Given two boats of the same length, the trimaran has a shallower draft, a wider beam, less hull area, and is able to fly more sail area. In addition, because of the wide beam, trimarans do not need the weighted keel required in monohulls. As a result, the trimaran offers much better straight-line performance than a monohull, is able to sail in shallower water, and maintains its stability in stronger winds. However, its wider beam makes it ...
