Truth: Monohulls sink far more often than cats capsize

Truth: Larger cruising Cats capsize so infrequently its not possible to have meaningful
statistics. Most brands and models have never had a capsize. For instance, Prout built
4-5000 cruising cats which have sailed millions of blue water miles and they've never had
a capsize or a sinking. Does this make them infinitely safer than most monohulls?

There's no correlation. There are probably about five percent
or less multi-hulls cruising the oceans of the world. Raw numbers
would make it seem that monohulls suffered more losses but if
one works the percentages it is easy to see that catamarans
are much much more dangerous. They are a gimmick, a fad,
an offshoot from the charter trade where people could care
less about sailing. People who charter big cats only want
room to party, refrigeration and freezers so they can stuff
their faces with food they cooked in their 'gourmet galleys".

They'd be far better of on a cruise ship, for gawd's sake.

You're talking thru your hat.....again!

Do me a favour, before you broach the subject again do some research
on the multis lost in recent years....after the designs were sorted.
Remember Cappy they haven't been around all that long.

You're relying on bar talk and rumour, you have absolutely no basis
for the BS you've trotted out.
