0 a sailing boat that has two parallel hulls (= floating parts) held together by a single deck (= flat surface)
As soon as the boat anchored, a catamaran put out, and brought Charlie and his followers to shore.
Next morning we were visited by a party of natives from the neighbouring island, consisting of six men in a canoe, and one on a catamaran or raft.
Soon we were surrounded with catamarans and canoes, with three or four natives in each.
The horses and cows were taken on a species of catamaran, or large raft, that is much used in those mild seas, and which sail reasonably well a little off the wind, and not very badly on.
When we reached the lagoon, a catamaran with three natives on it came off to us.
We are not carrying out any direct monitoring of the environmental effects of catamaran ferries.
No qualifications are required for port staff engaged in the operation of catamarans.
High speed catamarans and similar craft and hatchless container ships pose new safety problems.
