Superior in every way? Are you daft?

Tris have a few advantages over cats: they tack better, they're usually faster in light
air, there are some very neat folding designs. But overall, they don't make it as a
cruising boat. Perhaps you've noticed that tens of thousands of cruising cats have been
built, but there are virtually no cruising tris.

A few reasons: they bounce back and forth on the amas, they have limited visibility,
they're hard to get into, they have limited cabin space, the cockpit is usually very
small. When they are overloaded they become dangerous. These are not drawbacks for a
racing boat, but they certainly don't help a cruiser.

On top of this, tris are much easier to capsize than cats; in fact the vast majority of
multihull capsizes are tris.

Once again you've demonstrated a complete lack of understanding on the topic. At least
you're consistent.
