My nephew & I are going to sail from California to Asia, PI, Australia etc.

We’ve been looking at 38’ to 40’ mono hulls but the Tri hulls & cat’s got our attention.

Now we’re looking for a trimaran 39’ plus in the $30k to $50k price range.

All the cats seem to be out of our price range & we’re wondering how a trimaran would work vs. a mono hull.

Is a trimaran faster, more stable in rough seas & easier to sail.

Also why are some of the newer cat’s made of wood composition rather than fiberglass? Why is that?
