Multihulls do have a different motion, but it's hardly likely to make
anyone sick.

OOooo good one

...ANY unusual motion might make someone

Uh huh. Usually small children and Pekinese dogs.


.... I myself get sick on
powerboats, especially larger ones and Suzanne and I both noted we
didn't like the motion of the cat which we sailed in some good chop
near Niantic.

So, what you're really saying is that you both are sickly &
weak-stomached, prone to upset tummy, and not really suited for all
this sailing stuff on water that gets a bit wavy?

You know, I've been offshore with someone on more than one occasion that
was prone to seasickness, never stopped them from going. Seasickness is
a very poor excuse indeed.


Offshore the wind waves are superimposed on top of long ocean swells.
Its the combination of these two that can get to people who are normally
immune. Most people get used to it within a few days.
No-one is immune. It just takes the right day and the right night before.

I've gotten sick myself on several occasions-hung over. Like I said, I do
know someone prone to seasickness that never let it stand in their way, even
managed an Atlantic crossing. They loved sailing.
Again, a very poor excuse.
