Quartering seas are no problem at all for most cats,
really? a sea that hits first one hull and shortly after the other hull is "no problem at all for most cats"? mono's sure as hell don't move around like that and the seas we saw were light. has a very weak stomach indeed I wasn't talking seasickness. I was talking about the yawing of the craft as quartering seas passed. Beam seas are the worst, because they will raise one hull and dip the other. maybe for seasickness. but cats don't want to track straight in quartering seas. can't use the autopilot because of it. cats will have a "herky-jerky" motion compared to a heavy monohull, but after a while you don't notice it at all. like the heat in Arizona? I suppose. we've yet to encounter a situation that we think would be handled better by a monohull. try quartering seas. 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. in 20 knot cross winds? the long term _owner_ of the boat couldn't do it, and we had help from five people on the fuel dock to get away. You must have very little experience docking if this was a problem for you. it wasn't me trying to dock the boat, it was the long term owner, who btw showed himself to be a fine sailor at sea. He didn't seem to lack any experience or judgement. |
