TEHRAN- First Iranian built catamaran sailboat was delivered to Turkey, IRNA reported on Thursday.

Building this sailboat, Iran jointed the world’s builders of catamaran (informally a ‘cat’), a multi-hulled watercraft featuring two parallel hulls of equal size.

Sailing catamarans have been noted for incorporating technological advances over traditional monohull craft. These include foils that lift racing catamarans out of the water, capacious and stable cruising vessels, and racers that have achieved average speeds on the open ocean, comparable to much larger vessels.
