Unconditionally stable sailboats
On 25 May 2004 11:22:46 GMT, something compelled
(JAXAshby), to say:
when a man is scarred to death of a boats, but doesn't wish to admit it for
fear of seeming unmanly, he will go to HUGE lengths to cover his tracks.
Like staying ashore and doing something else, like hiking or
mountain biking or sports cars or something? Why would someone
who "is scarred to death of a boats" own one at all?
The idea that a wife would prefer a cat over a monohull is
perfectly reasonable. Not only do they appear safer, they have
more interior space, two things a wife might appreciate. If it
was a choice between a catamaran or no boat at all, I can see
where a healthy marriage might compromise on the style of boat.
I wouldn't chose a catamaran for myself because they Just Don't
Look Like Boats to me. But were I dying for a boat, and my wife
could only get into it with a catamaran (if I had a wife, so far
I get to sail that which I like, or if not that, then that which
I can afford), I'd find it a reasonable compromise.
