Defending the PDQ 36

I saw the polars for my boat and they were pretty impressive, with good
VMG into the mid 30's. As for the rest...I wouldn't buy a Catamaran
unless I was too old to sail a regular boat, period. I don't like the
looks or feel. And that's all that matters in the end. Giving me a long
list of advantages of a boat that's nearly as wide as it is long is
hardly impressive. It's expected. I can also list the advantages of
Doug's trawler. But it has little to do with what MOST people like
about sailing a boat.
Oh. So this about what MOST people like. I don't think you really
want to go there
And when enthusiasts DO seek out a multi it's
generally one that flies a hull and heels, Jeff.
After all these months and years, you actualy think anyone here can
give me a taste of my own medicine?
No, I don't expect this had any impression on you at all. But
consider: nobody believes a thing you say about anybody or any boat.
But they all seem to agree with what I say.
What is said in this forum is of little import. What's counts is that
at the end of the summer I've sailed 1000 miles up and down the coast,
and you've done a few daysails in sight of your slip.
You have no idea that you've been
dragged through the mud by me again about a boat that I may or may not
have!
Right Booby, you really got me when you claimed that sailing without
A/C would be horrific! And everyone here believes you really meant it!
In 10 days you'll know (again) how much fun I had making you
chase your tail.
What, the 35s5 in FL failed its survey? Gee, that wasn't predictable,
was it?
