Oh, right. Please tell us what monohull with a 3 foot draft goes to weather better than
my boat. remeber, it has to have three staterooms with queen size bunks!

Real cruisers stop by because they know my fridge is twice as large!
But I'm often anchored close to shore since a three foot draft
allows me to go where most monohulls only dream of.


How about paying more attention to going where
three-foot-draft monohulls can only dream of going
- like to weather?

He he!

If I want three suites and queen-sized bed I'll go to
Motel 8.

I've got three and a half feet of draft and I'll race
you to weather in a good blow on open water any
time and I'll point higher than you.

You might have started at 3'6" - what do you really think you have now? Your boom alone
probably added 2 inches! And in a blow that shoal draft keel makes more leeway than I do.

I might loose that contest against a high pointing racing mono that's close to my length,
but with your boat I wouldn't have to bear off at all to just walk away. Your only chance
would be in a narrow channel.

I keep reading that the multi is faster due to less drag
as far as speed goes. As long as you don't overload it

Comments were made about coastal sailing -- this is true
only a idiot would take deep water, without completed lessons
and only a few charters. So yes we plan on coastal sailing for
a while. If I'm understanding it right any type --mono
-- or multi sail boat will do deep water if you know what your doing.
common sense tells me to do coastal sailing for the first two years
and if we decide to do deep water take other sailboats with us.
