Relating to a catamaran, a boat with two parallel hulls, or designed with a two-hulled structure.
From 'catamaran' (from Tamil 'kattumaram' meaning 'tied logs') + '-an', describing features of this boat style.
The catamaran design was invented by Pacific Islanders hundreds of years ago using lashed logs—modern racing catamarans use this same principle to go faster by spreading the weight across two hulls!
