Did you read the latest where they are going to
re-write the COLREGS to further define large
catamarans and trimarans as powerboats if they
have an engine installed, whether the engine is
running or not, as a motor boat?

It seems they did a study and found cruising
multihulls never turn off the motor.

No, there's every indication that you rarely leave your mooring.
Does your cat get out on another more seaworthy boat?

Stupid question! There are perhaps only a dozen or so more seaworthy
boats in the entire world than "Cut the Mustard".

You mean "catagories of boats" which are more seaworthy, such as:

All other sailboats
All powerboats
All RAMs
All NUCS
etc.

You mean "catagories of boats" which are more seaworthy, such as:

You left out the Mac26X which is in it's own class and better boat than the
poor Coronado 27.

All Freedoms are very easy to sail shorthanded. I like these larger
sizes because of the desire to have enough room to keep our two kids
from driving me totally crazy. My personal favorite "ideal boat" is
the Freedom 38; but that size is just a bit crowded with the two kids
added to the mix.

I did not get the sailing endorsement because I would have
had to go to Miami to take the test and it is just a little too
far to ride my bicycle. I can pick up a sailing endorsement
any time I so desire since I have the Master's license under
my belt. Lord knows I have plenty enough hours under
sail to qualify. As for the test. Phah! No problémo!

Good one Neal. But we only have to look at your log to see what motorsailing is all
about. And for all your talk of your license, why didn't you get the the sailing
endorsement? Not enough time under sail?

The "pirate ship" center-cockpit 40 was Garry Hoyt's original

Right... the one that he used an oar for auxiliary propulsion

That's the one!

Working with Herreschoff, they cleaned up (IMO) the design into the
aft cockpit 40.

Which Herreshoff? I'm guessing Halsey. He did a lot of good designs,
but doesn't seem to have broken through into the genius stature of
either Nathaniel G. or L. Francis... sometimes it's a curse to come
from a renowned family...

It was Halsey Herreshoff that did the lines of the hull. I don't know how much of the
construction details or interior he did.
