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


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!

I'm beginning to seriously doubt that you actually went on a PDQ.
What was the name or number of it, or the owner?

Multihulls do have a different motion, but it's hardly likely to make
anyone sick. Especially in sheltered waters like LIS. Or are you saying
that the truth is your wife (if you have one) is sickly & doesn't like
sailing anyway?

Careful there, Jeff. You'll set off another round of Boobsie insulting
everything about you and insisting that he "wins." After all, he's
posting pictures of himself... or somebody, anyway... actually
sailing... badly, but sailing!
