catamaran

Twin-hulled sailing vessel, based on the native craft of South America and the Indies, made of logs lashed together, with an outrigger. A similar vessel with three hulls is known as a trimaran.

They have a pointed main hull and two outriggers and travel at a speed of 35 knots (84.5 kph/52.5 mph).
