Multihulls do have a different motion, but it's hardly likely to make
anyone sick.

OOooo good one

...ANY unusual motion might make someone

Uh huh. Usually small children and Pekinese dogs.


.... I myself get sick on
powerboats, especially larger ones and Suzanne and I both noted we
didn't like the motion of the cat which we sailed in some good chop
near Niantic.

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.

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?

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.


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!!!

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.

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.
