cruising mono's can't.

That isn't really so. But certainly any weather that has the capability to
flip
a cat could also roll or sink a mono.

it certain is so. wind, and wind alone, can flip a cat. wind can not flip a
mono.

You're right. It only takes about 200 mph winds to flip a cat under bare poles.
It is true that you can flip a cat by carrying full sail in 45 knots and then
not paying attention. Its happens a lot to racing cats, but only once that I
know of to a cruising cat.

Of course, a monohull can sink from a clogged cockpit drain.


In fact, *each* degree of heel on a cat requires _less_ wind than the previous
degree of heel. cat turn upside down at heel anglesof about 30*.

Totally wrong. You should read what you wrote very carefully.




cats are best suited for coastal cruising and voyages well planned around
weather.

So are all but a handful of boats being built today. Despite all of your
claims, a large number of cats are making long passages on a regular basis.
