a

at.
| Kinda funny.

| Nonsense - its true that the volume of a cat allows you to think of
adding
| so much that it
| is overloaded, but the "cruising necessities" are easily handled. My
| boat, for instance,
| is one that allegedly suffers from this problem, especially since I have
| the twin diesel
| option, but it really means that I shouldn't also get gensets and A/C.
| Even fully loaded
| for a one year trip we easily outsailed most monohulls.
|
| Last weekend we sailed 30 miles up the coast to Salem Bay. The wind was
| 10 to 12 knots,
| not the best for a slightly undersailed cat, but we still did 5.5 to 7
| knots, passing the
| monohulls like they were standing still. Of the boats that left Boston
| with us, none were
| in sight when we got to Marblehead. I would admit that when we got to
| M'head there were
| several racing boats that were prepping for the Halifax race that had no
| trouble keeping
| up. (BTW, all of the multihulls in the race finished near the front -
but
| these aren't
| cruising boats.)

|
|
| You cannot load a catamaran down with all the necessary cruising
| amenities and have it perform as well as a monohull, let alone be
| considered fast. If space and comfort your wont then stick with
| that flat in the city. You cannot take a flat to sea and expect it
| to sail.
