You should try a cat sometime, jaxie, if you're not afraid of going too fast.

I have seen many, many, many cruising cats on different waters. none were
going *too* fast for me. In fact, most weren't going any kind of fast at all.

Now, Stilletos and tri's -- like Corsairs -- do indeed go fast, but no one
calls them cruising boats.

Cruising cats are only marginally faster than cruising mono's, and cats are not
safe in stormy seas. cruising cats are better suited for coastal cruising, and
offshore work thoroughly planned around weather.

cats can be tipped over by wind. cruising mono's can't.
