I've sailed on several cats on the SF bay in moderate chop of 4-5 feet.
There's not much to the motion created by this kind of chop. The cats (PDQ
and a Seawind 1000) tracked straight and steady, and we could hardly tell
there was chop present. The last time I had the 1000 out (a couple of years
ago), the wind was a fairly steady 25-30 kts. The boat was so smooth that we
forgot to reef until I happened to glance at the wind indicator.

Uh, and your point is that you stay in LIS because you get seasick?
Isn't that what everyone is saying? If you get seasick on a cat in
calm weather, the its best you never go cruising.


Never got seasick in my life and we sailed the cat in pretty choppy
conditions. Never said I stay in LIS for any reason. It gets rough even
on the sound, or haven't you heard? The cat was awful. I'm hardly the
first person to complain about a Cat's motion in chop. Thanks for
proving Doug wrong!
