Catamarans Vs monohulls

Catamarans hold a number of advantages over monohulls in commercial and leisure options, including:

A softer ride: catamarans provide 30-50 per cent lower "vertical accelerations" on seaway (less "slamming" over swells)
The usable length of craft being larger
High stability
Higher survivability if the hulls are damaged
Small "heel" angles at turn
Comfortable seating, more space per passenger; and
Safe evacuation routes.

In terms of market share, 60-70 per cent of all passenger high speed craft are catamarans.

Rapido Catamarans (RC), a subsidiary of Rapido Trimarans Limited, is marketing a range of commercial catamarans which are designed by Albatross Marine Design (AMD) and built exclusively by Triac Composites.

AMD is a leading Asian-based design office specialising in naval architecture and engineering of small and high speed for craft commercial special and recreational applications with special expertise in design of catamarans and composite structures.

AMD has been recognised with the European Product Design Award in 2019.

RC12 - Designed for tourism, resorts and as the perfect water taxi commuter vessel

South East Asia, in particular, has a myriad of rivers and canals criss-crossing their way across cities. Often, with too few bridges, these rivers are the great obstacle for commuters attempting to reach their destination by road in a timely manner.

However, while some view the rivers as obstacles and hindrances, others view them as the solution. Fast and efficient passage to your destination enjoying the scenery rather than suffering the stress of snarling traffic jams.

AMD has some designs for water taxis as per below.
