Default Catamarans have something extra....


Considering the easy availability of weather forcast, especially
nowadays, I'd suggest you may want to take a course in weather and storm
avoidance

My fine blue water yacht and I have been through 4 tropical storms

What kind of boat do you have?


Oops, I should have written my blue water yacht(s) because . . .

I've got three boats now. My Swan 68, Chippewa, my Allied Seawind 32,
Sea Isle and I recently purchased the world famous Coronado 27, Cut the
Mustard, from the estate of Capt. Neal. Got it at a bargain price and
figure I could sell it and turn a tidy profit seeing how famous the

boat
has become. The trouble is I've been sailing it quite a bit and I'm
starting to realize it's just about perfect in every way. It's got

about
as much room inside and the layout is better than the Allied and it's
faster, I swear. Cut the Mustard's been through many a hurricane with
the Good Captain aboard but I wasn't referring to that in the above.
It's Sea Isle and the Swan. Mostly Sea Isle, my main squeeze.
