Sailing Boat Hulls
Sailing Boat Hull
A hull is the body of a sailing boat. It provides the buoyancy that prevents the vessel from sinking.
Traditional sailboats are monohulls, but multi-hull catamarans and trimarans are becoming more and more popular.
All sailing boats have keels – it’s the backbone of the hull. Even multihulls have keels. On a sailboat the word keel is also used to refer to the area that is added to the hull to improve its lateral plane. Keels use the forward motion of the boat to generate lift. Sailboats have much larger keels than non-sailing hulls.
Most monohulls require ballast, depending on the design ballast will be 20 to 50 per cent of the displacement. The ballast is often integrated into their keels as large masses of lead or cast iron. This secures the ballast and gets it as low as possible to improve its effectiveness. A monohull keel is made effective by a combination of weight, depth and length.
A keel does not provide a stabilising effect but instead applies a capsizing force. This capsizing effect needs to be offset by hull design.
There are many types of fixed keels, including:
Full keel, ong keels, Fin keels, Winged keels, Bulb keels, Bilge keels and Monohull.
A monohull is a type of boat having only one hull, unlike multihulled boats which can have two or more individual hulls connected to one another. This is the most common form of vessel.
Monohull boats usually rely on ballast for stability, and are sometimes called displacement hulls. This gives the monohull a degree of sluggishness, making it less manoeuvrable and reducing its speed. It also makes it more likely to sink if filled with water.
A multihull is a vessel with more than one hull. Multihulls are faster than monohulls because the absence of ballast reduces their weight. Designed to be as lightweight as possible, yet maintain structure, they are also built with flotation chambers. This means that, if every crew compartment becomes filled with water, the hull itself has enough buoyancy to keep afloat. This absence of ballast also results in a higher performance vessel, in terms of speed and manoeuvrability.
Multihulls are popular for racing and for cruising. Until the 1980s most multihull sailboats were built either by their owners or by boat builders on a semi-custom basis.
One disadvantage of a multihull is the width, especially when docking.

Sailing Boat Plans – Things To Consider
Sail boats are one of the boat types which comes with many variation. These type of boats are entirely propelled by sails. Sail boat plans comes in several types which are mostly distinguished by its keel types, hull configuration, number and configuration of masts and purpose.
If you wish to build your own sailing boat, these are the several factors which you have to consider and most which has to be in place when using a sail boat plans.
To help you on deciding which type of sailing boat plans meets your needs, here are some of the more common types of sailboats:
SLOOP
One of the most common sailboat nowadays is the sloop. This type of sailboat is ver efficient for sailing towards the wind. It has one mast and two sails in its configuration.
CUTTER
This is more or less similar to a sloop as it has also one mast and mainsail. However, with its configuration, it is rarely considered a racing sailboat but offers more versatility and thus, is more of a cruising boat.
DINGHY
Dinghy are mostly used as small racing yachts or recreational sailing boats. It has simple operation and minimal maintenance. It has also the simplest configuration that’s why it is easier for a beginner in boat building to build this kind of sailboat. These are most common in youth sailing.
Whether you are planning to build a sloop or a cutter or a dinghy or any other type of sailboat, it is imperative that you work with a very good and workable sail boat plans.
