Catamarans are boats with two or more hulls that are strapped together and move by either wind power (using sails) or engine power. They are one of the first boats humans ever floated in. Catamarans are used when speed and large payloads are needed: their interesting geometric design (their balance is based on geometry, not weight) allows them to glide through the water with lower friction and carry more than single-hulled boats.


We’re going to create two different versions of the catamaran, mainly depending on how many water bottles you have available. Put these in a swimming pool and watch them zoom!

    There are no written instructions for this project. But the video shows all the necessary steps.
