The Word catamaran came from Malayalam and Tamil language from India. the Original word is Kattamaram in Malayalam language and Kattumaram In Tamil. 'Katta' means Block of something; 'Maram' Means Tree and combining these two words the meaning becomes a long block of log; three or more logs are tied together to go to sea for fishing. Catamaran is very long block of logs tied together and the upper and the bottom surface is flattened so that it can slide through the water smoothly and can drag through the shore easily. It is much safer than traditional long boats and rarely capsizes. The expense to make one is comparably lesser than the traditional fishing boats hence it is still in use.
