Trimaran is a sail yacht with three hulls. In the centre there is a main hull, which is a bit bigger than the rest. By its sides are additional narrower hulls. They serve as floatation devices, in order to stabilize the yacht on the water surface. When the yacht performs a light list, the main and one additional hull carry the entire load.

Trimarans gained popularity during the 1960s and 1970s and were first built by indigenous Polynesians and Pacific Islanders about 4,000 years ago. The name “trimaran” was concocted from a 20th century word “Tri” and (Cata)maran, and is thought to have been invented by a Ukranian-born modern multihull designer by the name of Victor Tchetchet.
Trimaran sailboats are sailboats with a multihull that comprises a main hull and two smaller outrigger hulls that are attached to the main hull with lateral beams. Commonly referred to as a sail-driven yacht, Trimarans are designed for racing or recreation. The advantage of Trimaran sailboats over comparable monohulls, when both boats have the same length, is the shallower draft, less wetted area, wider beam, and the ability to fly more sail area.
