An international class sailing catamaran is a twin-hulled sailboat designed for inshore racing governed by international ratings rules.
While these craft can be used for recreational sailing near the coast, they are primarily intended for single-class racing and for sail training.
Formula 18, Tornado (an Olympics class) and Hobie Tiger are among the internationally recognized divisions. These boats usually are double-handed and carry a mainsail, sometimes a jib, and a gennaker or spinnaker. The hulls are of polyester fiberglass, polyethylene or carbon. Class rules prescribe the authorized materials. The trapezes on each side permit the crew and sometimes the skipper to hike out in order to increase the righting moment.
Certain classes are more common than others in a particular geographic zone.
