Quartering seas are no problem at all for most cats,

really? a sea that hits first one hull and shortly after the other hull is
"no
problem at all for most cats"? mono's sure as hell don't move around like
that
and the seas we saw were light.

If you had a problem, you don't know how to steer a boat. Properly handled, a
cat can be rock stead in a quartering sea.

Of course, you don't even know what type of cat it was.


has a very weak stomach indeed

I wasn't talking seasickness. I was talking about the yawing of the craft as
quartering seas passed.

Yaw? You had yaw problems? In a 4 foot sea? I'll admit my cat yaws a bit
sliding down 10 foot following seas at 13 knots. If you had yaw problems you
definitely don't know how to steer a boat!



Beam seas
are the worst, because they will raise one hull and dip the other.

maybe for seasickness. but cats don't want to track straight in quartering
seas. can't use the autopilot because of it.

In a 4 foot sea? You don't know how to use an autopilot! What type was it?
What was the boat?



cats will have a "herky-jerky" motion compared to a heavy monohull, but after
a
while you don't notice it at all.

like the heat in Arizona? I suppose.

we've yet to encounter a situation that we think would
be handled better by a monohull.

try quartering seas.

I've done it many times. I have put about 10,000 miles on my cat, more than
half in the open water. You took one trip (so you claim) in a boat where you
don't know that type it was.




I suppose if you don't know how to use a twin engine docking can be
difficult,
but most cats are far easier to dock than monohulls.

in 20 knot cross winds? the long term _owner_ of the boat couldn't do it, and
we had help from five people on the fuel dock to get away.

What? Then you had a boat full of incompetant fools! Getting into a tight
face dock can be a pain without help, but getting off a dock, even pinned by a
strong wind, is no problem with twin engines. Maybe you don't know about
spring lines.



You must have very little
experience docking if this was a problem for you.

it wasn't me trying to dock the boat, it was the long term owner, who btw
showed himself to be a fine sailor at sea. He didn't seem to lack any
experience or judgement.

Except he couldn't get off the dock and he couldn't handle a quartering sea.
And you don't know what type of boat it was. Sounds like another one of your
bull**** stories, jaxie.
