Just go to sea.
Tsunami isn't a problem in deep water....the Indonesian one was waves
at sea less that 2 metres high...then it reached land......

That will work on a Tsunami but not a rogue.


Yeah,,,the reference was to a huge Tsunami.....see above


Thats why I said yeah, that will work, then asked a question about the
original thread.

I'll go first.

I worry about my engine room hatch and cabin doors caving in.. in a
thumble. I would hope to punch thru, and not roll or tumble, or pitch
pole.... I dont think a big cat would have a chance of punching thru.

My big wave tactic would be to motor sail straight into it full
throttle, once the boat went vertical it would be a bad day/night.
