This next blog post is going to be about "normal" small sailing Catamarans are designed two land on a beach or at least to sail through very shallow waters. They are not very deep and their rudders, and if they are existing their centreboards can be retracted to prevent them from damage.
A Catamaran flies normally over the water and the Crew in the case of the Tornado 2 People balances the boat with their own weight.
They are used worldwide on lakes and the see.
The Nacra 17 is even an Olympic Class which get's sailed mixed, that means that men and women can sail it in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
The Nacra 17 got designed specially for the Olympic games, by the Company Nacra after they decided that neither there Formula 16 Cat or the Formula 18 Cat would be suited for the Olympic games
In the past, there have been other Olympic Cats like the Tornado which also got especially designed for the Olympic Games in 1967.
It was an Olympic boat class from 1976 until 2008. Until ,in 2007, the ISAF voted against an other tornado race at the Olympics.
The Tornado can get 30 knot fast and has then just one hull in the Water. It is one of the fastest boats in the ISAF Small Catamaran Handicap Rating System and the fastest Catamaran in the RYA Portsmouth Yardstick scheme.
Here is a video of a Tornado shoot in Auckland New Zealand it's a bit older but still really good.
