safe in stormy seas.


How so? The record says otherwise.


no, it doesn't. very few cats attempt to sail where storms might occur.

there
is agood reason for this.

in sailing areas where storms are a potential, few cats sail. Off those that
do, a higher % turn upside down than mono's. which out number cats by two
orders of magnitude or great.


Given that there's only been about 4 cruising cat capsizes in the last 20 years,
its a little hard to talk about "higher %"

How many monos have sunk in the last 20 years?
