Default Irrefutable proof of dangerous multihulls.

Per, you still plan to buy a big cat?

Sir. I understand you are not talking about multihulls, but the very
abomination of them. We usually call these misbreeds, Condomarans. Due to
them looking more like condominiums of course. Trimarans are what we call
monohulls with training wheels. Now a Catamaran, that is a whole new

story,
plus they sail in all directions.

I guess it is too much of me to expect anyone
to grasp the concept that mono-hulls have been
plying the waters of the world for thousands
of years while the only multis were a few,
naked South Sea islanders on proas.

I stand by my numbers. I say they are
a fair representation since the "modern"
multi-hull is only about fifty years old and
significant quantities were not produced
until recently when know-nothings needed
a floating condominium for chartering on
week-ends and holidays. These multis
are an abomination. They, in no way,
can be considered anything but a whim
that makes the charter company money.

The main thing that wears out on them is
their oversized motors, generators, refrigerators,
mattresses and dock lines.

Since several hundred Prouts have circumnavigated, does that mean
the 200,000 monohulls
have done so? Virtually the entire Caribbean charter cat fleet has
at least one major
passage. Even here in New England where cats are traditionally a
rarity they're becoming
more common - in Salem last week I saw about a dozen.

If you had said 20 to one it might have been believable, but 1000 to
one just shows you've
never been anywhere.

You seem to be very terrified of the ocean, Neal. Its a good thing
you stay close to
shore.

BTW, half of the sailboats in my marina are cats. The other
sailboat is a Mac26x.

There are probably 1000 mono-hulls that have cruised
the world to every one multi-hull. Even a moron can
figure out and cogently explain to any imbecile so it is
understood that multi-hulls are killing machines all out
of proportion to their numbers.

Doesn't mean a thing unless you can report on all those
similar craft that killed their operators without a trace.

Jesus Cappy, start counting the monos that have gone missing
without
trace, start with Joshua Slocum.....
