You keep claiming cruising cats capsize. They don't. Maybe its happened 5 times in the
last 50 years. I'd say its a fair guess that more Coronado's have sunk in the same
period.

Thank you for reiterating the obvious. But, trying to make
multi-hull buyers see the obvious is about as difficult as
making a pig stay away from his slop.

My only hope is they remember our words as they suffer
and waste away in an upside down multihull adrift till they
starve or die of exposure.

Hey NH_/),

Did you read the last line of the link you posted?

"you should have a capsize plan and make sure that emergency supplies
will be reachable"

In other words you are stopped, upside down, and just flosum.

Never happen on a well buildt monohull.

I also like the line "you better be able to release your mainsheet in
an instant."

So True, and the real danger of a cat. If you buy a cat you better be
faster than the wind.

SO.......If you value your life stay away from cats, unless your just
a weekend warrior in the local bay or lake with someone looking out
4U.

OK, Nora, them's fightin' words . . .
I don't normally fight with a lady but, in your case,
I might wanna make an exception. Bet you like it
a little rough?

S.Simon - a lover; not a fighter.

Ya got me there, matey! Unemployment checks are no work at all. . .

S.Simon - never cashed an unemployment check in my life;
never have and never will. I earn MY keep!

I agree, for once, diesel-powered yacht have higher resale value.

Lord only know why but they do. . .

S.Simon - never had and never will have a diesel - they stink!

On the other hand, the dull roar of a diesel loafing along is a lot easier to
take than
the scream of an outboard working hard.

Keep in mind the resale...far easier and better with the diesel IB engines.
Every boat is a "stepping stone" to the next...and then you die.

Look at the capsize ratio charts for your average cruising cat.

What do you see? An angle of fifty or sixty degrees or less.
Bwahahahahahha!

Now, look at any ballasted monohull capsize ratio chart. What do
you see? An angle of 90 degrees and more? Yes, sir, that's the
ticket!

See what I mean?

S.Simon - a monohull sailor and safer because of it.

Its real hard to get laid off from the Post Office!

And even easier to collect that fat pension at YOUR espense!

S.Simon - takes what he can get but still works for it.

Typical Democrat - suck the system for all it's worth then
lobby for higher taxes so it'll be worth even more. Never
think about going to work and earning a living for once. . .
Let the rest of us pay your way.


With over 30 years of employment in the State I've certainly paid into the Unemployment
Insurance program far more than I ever will receive. Actually, I was an employer for 8
years, and paid *much* more into the system during that period the I ever will receive.

During this Republican recession its a little hard to find jobs around here now-a-days.

You keep claiming cruising cats capsize. They don't.

How many cruising cats have flipped over in the last 15 years?
I can't even find one case online for a cruiser like Jeffs.

Bwahahahahahha!

Ratio and real world are two different points on the graph, Neal.
Please show us all of the cruising cat capsizes over the past 10-15 years.
