They don't suffer. They have all the comforts of home -
up until the point their home capsizes, that is! Any boat with a stability curve that plunges straight down at around fifty degrees should never be approved for offshore voyaging. One of these days they are going to outlaw multi- hulls as inherently unsafe. All it's going to take is a Kennedy, Clinton, or Daschell to get killed on one and you will see lawsuits and legislation and rightly so in this case even if the victims are Democrats.

You have yet to provide a large cache of evidence demonstrating that multi hull cruisers suffer during long passages. RB |

Well I can see your point, but I'm not sure I can agree. I really would
not want to try to hold onto the hull for long with waves breaking over it! Of course a life raft would be really scary but I'd rather be be in a monohull tucked up in a bunk trying to sleep!

You've done the courses, can you imagine stepping into that little piece of rubber when you had a 35' X 30' solid raft....not me! |
