So, what you're really saying is that you both are sickly &
weak-stomached, prone to upset tummy, and not really suited for all this
sailing stuff on water that gets a bit wavy?

You know, I've been offshore with someone on more than one occasion that was
prone to seasickness, never stopped them from going. Seasickness is a very
poor excuse indeed.

Offshore the wind waves are superimposed on top of long ocean swells.
Its the combination of these two that can get to people who are
normally immune. Most people get used to it within a few days.

Inner ear problems are highly variable. I myself get sick on

Now we understand why you won't sail outside of your very sheltered
waters. It sounds a lot like you sailed with an inexperienced
skipper, or perhaps someone who had no sympathy for novices.

Again, are you sure it was a PDQ - which boat was it?

Read that AGAIN, Doug!!! So Jeff, who sadly owns a cat proves you
WRONG!
The best is when you trip eachother up!!!!
Doug is BUSTED!!!

Uh, and your point is that you stay in LIS because you get seasick?
Isn't that what everyone is saying? If you get seasick on a cat in
calm weather, the its best you never go cruising. The bendy is the
perfect choice for you.

There's your proof, Jeff Morris, that multihulls are inherently
unstable. Ask yourself, in the same race, how many monohulls
capsized.

Not unstable, they have great initial stability, thats why they are so
fast. But they also have great initial stability upside down. They do
lousy angles of vanishing stabilty.

Boats like Jeffs are not known to be inherently unstable. In fact they
are quite safe. If you don't like healing, or the feel of a fast
monohull sliding through the water, a trawler or Cat may be best. When
we went out on the PDQ, my wife actually said the motion of the cat was
making her feel sick. She never had that problem even on the tender
Pearson 30.
A Catamaran like Jeff's is not what the thrill of sailing is all about.
And that's a fact. It may be fast but so is a Jetski which also isn't
something most sailors want. Comparing the cat to my 35s5 is sort of
like comparing a Motorhome to a Lotus. Until I'm old and worn out I'll
take the Lotus!

No-one is immune. It just takes the right day and the right night before.

Never got seasick in my life and we sailed the cat in pretty choppy
conditions. Never said I stay in LIS for any reason. It gets rough even
on the sound, or haven't you heard? The cat was awful. I'm hardly the
first person to complain about a Cat's motion in chop. Thanks for
proving Doug wrong!

Jeff's always whining, "Gimme proof, gimme proof" every time
I mention how multihulls are more stable upside-down than rightside-
up but every time I give him the proof he tries to wiggle around like
the proverbial worm on the hood and obfuscate by saying idiotic
things like "Them's were trimarans not catamarans, as if a catamaran
wasn't a multihull.

The man just refuses to believe a multihull - although it has some virtues -
in inherently unseaworthy and all it takes is to look at the pictures of what
happens to them in a little ole gale of about fifty knots to see how unsafe
they are when the elements get a bit rowdy.

I've even heard tell of multihulls on mooring turning turtle during a good
blow and that NEVER happens to ballasted monohulls.
