An interesting stat - not very relevant.

Ever hear of Oyster? Greatest number of circums per vessel built.

That explains why the brand of sailboat with the largest number of circumnavigations is
probably Prout.

Almost all of the Prout and PDQ owners I know have done some extended cruising. Can
you
say the same for Coronado owners? C&C owners?

It's rare for a cruising multi to break up and sink.


It's even more rare for a cruising multi to cruise.

Not so because multis are fast enough that they capsize both
from pitch-poling and going over sideways whereas monohulls
being constrained by hull speeds rarely pitch pole. Furthermore
multis actually capsize easier sideways because once they get
to 90 degrees it's Katy bar the door while monomarans regularly
right themselves from a 90 degree position.

90 degrees!? Every catamaran experiences negative stability (ie, Katy bar the
door) well short of 99 deg.
