check out the only way to get out of an upside cat on the beach.



Death traps. That's what catamarans and trimarans are. People who sail them always say they're
safe and there's no record of people dying in them. Lies. Lies and denial. Lies, denial and stupidity.
Trimarans and catamarans are happier upside-down than right-side up. That's a fact. They should
outlaw these boats. Make it a law you have to have a ballasted monohull with a double hull with positive
flotation foam in between. Make them so they can't sink and the ballast keeps them right-side up. Or pops
them back right-side up again if they get knocked over.
Those poor people on that upside down catamaran. They didn't have a clue. But, they shouldn't have
had to pay with their lives.

Cheers,
Ellen
