Right jaxie, how far "offshore" did you get in the 48 hours between your posts?
And what kind of cat was it?

Quartering seas are no problem at all for most cats, anyone who makes that claim
probably never has been on one, or has a very weak stomach indeed. Beam seas
are the worst, because they will raise one hull and dip the other. Certainly
cats will have a "herky-jerky" motion compared to a heavy monohull, but after a
while you don't notice it at all. I won't claim that all conditions are handled
perfectly by a cat, but we've yet to encounter a situation that we think would
be handled better by a monohull.

I suppose if you don't know how to use a twin engine docking can be difficult,
but most cats are far easier to dock than monohulls. You must have very little
experience docking if this was a problem for you.

Its also pretty clear you've never sailed on a cat, or you'd realize that
they're a lot more seaworthy than you think.

I sailed one offshore last weekend. catamarans don't like quartering seas.
lots of space, though. hard to dock in a cross wind. a bit jerky of motion
in
cross seas.
