It doesn't matter whether the conditions are rough , wild, flat, or calm, a monohull is the perfect boat type for anyone looking for the thrills of the sail.

Unfortunately, you might not fully enjoy the thrills of sailing on a monohull sailboat if you do not choose the best monohull sailboat for you.

While a monohull cannot compete with multihull sailboats in terms of cabin size, anchoring closer to the shore, and comfort, it should hold its own if you are planning to spend more time at the sea and in unpredictable conditions. ‍

A monohull sailboat will definitely be an ideal option if you're planning to go to more challenging places. This is exactly why you have to make the right choice when looking for the best monohull sailboat.

Over the years, we've sailed many monohull sailboats and that's precisely why we feel confident that we can help you choose the best monohull sailboats.

Best Monohull Sailboats

{{boat-info="/boats/amel-55"}}

For several decades, Amel 55 has not only been the epitome of easy downwind handling but has developed a cult-like following among sailors. It was designed as the successor to the legendary Super Maramu and brings to the fore incredible features that every serious sailor will value. From a sturdily built hull, solid guardrails to a skeg-hung rudder, watertight bulkheads, and lush bulwarks, Amel 55 is built with anything you could ever want in a perfect monohull sailboat.

And even with a list of standard features, this monohull sailboat is truly designed for those who want to live comfortably on a sailboat for long periods. It comes with superb sea berths with lee cloths, a dishwasher, crockery, an electric furling main and genoa, and several practical items that will make sailing very comfortable.

We have to admit that the design might look old going by modern standards, especially with the advent of easier sail handling systems. For example, the ketch rig design is no longer ideal and is out of fashion. But even with this downside, the Amel 55 remains a phenomenon; a legendary monohull sailboat that ticks all the right boxes in the sailing world.

2. Bavaria Cruise 46

{{boat-info="/boats/bavaria-46-cruiser"}}

You can transform the boat's 3 cabins into 4 cabins by transforming the huge forward cabin into two smaller cabins in a few simple steps. In the bow, you'll find a large and luxurious master cabin that can be easily divided using an innovative Flexi-bulkhead.

Its sporty design on the exterior, lightweight composite steering wheels, and a flexible selection of wood tones makes it look so good while offering the best dimensions for both short and long trips. In essence, the Bavaria Cruise 46 is an elegant monohull sailboat that redefines modern sailboats with its clever and innovative design.

If you're an ardent Catalina fan, you'll notice that the 545 has some of the most eyebrow-raising features in bluewater cruising.

For example, the fiberglass collar is designed all-round the top of the hull and shaped like a construction beam. This is to give the hull a more enhanced rigidity while providing a sturdy base for the deck. It's also designed with solid stanchions and cleats, as well as strong sheer rails.

This superb monohull sailboat is constructed with a set of scuppers that play a crucial role in draining near the waterline so that you can perfectly eliminate any development of streaks or strains on the top side of the boat. As far as the bow is concerned, the sprit brings to the table an essential but unique anchor roller, a self-tacking jib, and a light displacement that makes the boat quick even in light or moderate wind. In essence, this monohull sailboat is designed with simple but reliable systems that are easily accessible. Better still, it remains one of the biggest monohull sailboats around.

5. Discovery 55

{{boat-info="/boats/discovery-55"}}

As the name suggests, the monohull sailboat - as opposed to multihull sailing boats - is a sailboat with a single hull . Sometimes equipped with an auxiliary engine, the monohull is propelled by the force of the wind and keeps its course thanks to the fins located in the water under the hull. The trajectory is controlled by the rudder which consists of the helm and the rudder (a 'wing' located at the rear of the hull and submerged in water). A monohull is either mono-rudder or twin-rudder. The thrills you'll feel on board a monohull depend on the speed it reaches. Speed enthusiasts can find what they're looking for among the monohulls.

The monohull can be divided into 2 parts: the rig and the hull. The latter is what allows the sailboat to float. It contains ballast, consisting of tanks filled with water, that stabilses the monohull by counterbalancing the list (this is an inclination of a few degrees under wind pressure or some other cause). The daggerboards come out of the hull: they are what will allow the monohull to stay on course. If the centreboard is ballasted, we will speak of a keel, which ensures the stability of the boat and prevents it from capsizing. As for the rigging, this is all the parts of a boat that contribute to its propulsion and manoeuvrability. As a minimum it is made up of one mast and a sail.

The advantages of monohulls

Choosing to sail on a monohull sailboat has several advantages:

• the thrill of speed thanks to the high speed that can be reached;
• a lower budget than for a multihull (berth, maintenance, handling);
• its go-anywhere character : a monohull requires less space in a port and it is possible to deliberately run your sailboat aground;
• easy manoeuvrability ;
• good upwind performance ;
• and it is a strong and safe boat : it is more difficult to capsize a monohull than a catamaran.

Deep sea or coastal sailing, regattas or day trips, you're bound to find a monohull that will fulfil your dreams .

What are the different types of monohull sailboats?

It is mainly the rig that allows you to differentiate between monohulls. So, you have:

• the sloop : 1 mast and 2 sails, the most common rig;
• the cutter : 1 mast (further aft than that of the sloop), 1 mainsail and at least 1 foresail;
• the ketch : 2 masts (the main mast and the mizzen mast, located in front of the helm station) and at least 3 sails;
• the yawl : 2 masts (the main mast and the swag mast, located behind the helm station) and at least 3 sails;
• the schooner : minimum 2 masts (up to 6/7);
• and the yole : propelled by either rowing or sailing.

Among the monohulls, we also find sailing super yacht as well as antique and classic sailing yachts .

• Healing: it is true that on a monohull, you will not have the kind of flat sailing that is experienced on catamarans. However, the healing is so much fun and part of what makes sailing monohull so exhilarating. This is a great fact that you should note if you are trying to make comparisons.
• Anchorage: when you anchor a monohull, you notice that it does not swing as much as multihulls. This reduces the chances of it bumping into other boats while docked.
• Price: you note that single-hull sailboats that have the same equipment and sleeping capacity are much cheaper when compared to the catamaran.

The disadvantages

There are some disadvantages associated with the monohull sailboats. They include:

• Privacy: in most cases, you will note that there is very little privacy in between the cabins. This is however determined by how big the monohull really is and how many cabins and people are using the same.
• Space: if you were to compare them to catamarans of the same size, then you will notice that there is not much space.
• Ventilation: in cases where there are aft cabins, the ventilation can be bad. This can be a great disadvantage when there is tropical heat.

RM Yachts: used monohull sailboats for sale

Acquiring an RM sailing yacht is always an exciting perspective! Whether it’s a brand-new model or a second-hand. If our building process is quite long, it’s because we pay due attention to the quality of our products – all our plywood monohull sailboats are thoroughly built by our expert team in our French shipyard since 1989.

The good news is that you will still benefit from quality when acquiring a used RM. Why? Because we observe that most of RM owners do take care of their yachts! A well-maintained second-hand cruising yacht could be the best option for your blue water cruising plans! Or any of your plans, actually (coastal cruising, world travel, etc.).

A subsidiary of Grand Large Yachting group – just like RM Yachts – GLS (Grand Large Services) is a company specialized in the services dedicated to RM owners, should it be brand-new or second-hand sailboats. Not only their expert team knows RM yachts in-and-out, and will be able to help you find your dream liveaboard sailing yacht, but they will also be helpful when it comes to maintenance and/or refit: spare parts, options to be added, etc.

They offer a wide selection of used monohull sailboats for sale, which is kept updated on a regular basis, so that you have access to an international database of yachts fitting your expectations.

Quality and sustainability: find the best used sailboats under 50 feet

Because RM yachts are well-built, using our plywood-epoxy construction technique, their quotation on the second-hand market is significantly higher than GRP-made typical white-hull family cruisers. More affordable than a brand-new RM, a second-hand RM sailing boat represents a smart investment, and her sale will be even easier once you have completed your port-hopping or ocean crossing plans.

Of course, should you buy today a pre-owned RM yacht, GLS will also be there the day you want to sell her! And maybe help you find your next used family liveaboard sailboat or buy a brand-new model! In the latter, our sales team remains available to help you configure your dream boat and see what financial solution is best for your budget.

Used or new, buying an RM yacht is always a good idea! Have a look at our used monohull sailboats for sale (30ft, 32ft, 35ft, 40ft, etc.) and find the best boat for your sailing plans.
