Tri-Ships.
It is now perhaps Australia that is leading the world in marine design say that over Sweden, with its generations of tri-ships. These large catamaran designs have proved more effective to handle the conditions of the southern-Oceans and the Pacific.
The Polynesian peoples knew a thing or two about how to build wooden boats and hop from island chain to chain. These ancient boats covered all aspects of the sea from trade to fishing to war and raiding parties.
Australia's biggest problem at the moment is illegal fishing and immigrants hoping to cross the Indian Ocean, but we can be sure that there are many other illicit activities where these types of ships and patrol craft can handle better than single hull vessels.
