mono's sure as hell don't move around like
that
and the seas we saw were light.

If you had a problem, you don't know how to steer a boat.

well, the mono's I have steered tracked rather much better in 8 foot quartering
seas than that cat did in light quartering seas.

jeffies, are you saying that the skill required to steer a cat in light seas is
much greater than the skill required to steer a mono in 8 foot seas?

DR practice
 

Of course, you don't even know what type of cat it was.

I don't? you mean the name on the side of the boat was not what the boat
really was?

DR practice
 

If you had yaw problems you
definitely don't know how to steer a boat!


ah, yes, that's it. I don't have the skills to steer a cat in quartering seas,
skills much harder to master than steering a mono in quartering seas of greater
height.

In a 4 foot sea? You don't know how to use an autopilot! What type was it?
What was the boat?

you mean there is more to using a name brand autopilot in quartering seas on a
catamaran than turning it on, aiming it and engaging it? Tell me, jeffies, was
I supposed to caress the autopilot first, say some prayers, maye promise it a
hooker when we got to port. enlighten us jeffies, how is an autopilot on a
catamaran difference from an autopilot on a mono?

Well I guess that says it all. If you never heard of the various settings on a
autopilot, then you wouldn't know how to use it, would you? We'll just have to
add this to the list of things you don't know how to use, jaxie.

Yup. For once you have the courage to admit the truth. Cats are actually
easier, but it does take a little bit of skill.

ah, yes, jeffies, which settings is that which makes a catamaran track
straighter when one hull -- off center -- takes a quartering wave, followed a
fraction of a second later when the other hull -- off center the other side --
takes the same quartering wave?

jeffies, are you sure you know what an autopilot is?

DR practice
 

so, cats act weird in quartering seas but are much easier to steer than mono
hulls which don't act weird in quartering seas?

No. You act weird in quartering seas, jaxie. Since you don't even know what
kind of cat you were on, there's no way to generalize your fumbling to all cats.

My autopilot tracks just fine in 4 four foot quartering waves. Rock steady. If
yours can't, you don't know how to use it.

In 10 foot seas it lags behind a bit when surfing down the waves, and there have
been a few times that I've hand steered to give it s steadier ride.

It sure looks like you didn't know what you were doing there jaxie.
