Interesting points. My wife has issues with herniated discs and has
few problems on our trawler with the exception of dinghy rides in
rough conditions. Long road trips bother her a great deal however as
did our old sailboat, probably from being heeled over as much as
anything.

Rick, maybe you could charter a catamaran sometime and see if that is
better for her? There are thousands of them down here in the
Caribbean, probably more than half the charter boats.
