Default Thank You JEFF!!!

Stop writing as if you speak for the rest of us.... YOU DON'T!


Then how come so many folks can afford a Multi and don't have one?
Where's your multi? Where's mine? Where's Loco's? How come Doug says
he's looking at a C&C and not a multi? Where's Bart's multi? Ganz seems
to want one. Not me.
Someone has to speak up for the group during hard times. Do you want a
boat that is "tedious to tack?" Do you want a boat that "won't point
higher than 45-50 degrees"?
I am the chosen one, Skywalker!

So many can afford??? The single biggest problem with cats is that
they're expensive. While there are lot of small cruising boats for
$20K, its hard to find a good cat used for under $80K. And since the
smaller ones don't work that well, the entry for a true long distance
cruiser is well over $100K.

Where's your multi? Where's mine? Where's Loco's? How come Doug says
he's looking at a C&C and not a multi? Where's Bart's multi? Ganz seems
to want one. Not me.


So how many have said your boat would be their first choice?

Hard times? Is that what you call it when you buy a boat?

Do you want a
boat that is "tedious to tack?" Do you want a boat that "won't point
higher than 45-50 degrees"?


Hopefully you did, because that's what you bought! If you wanted to
point higher without pinching, you would have got the deep keel!

I am the frozen one, Skywalker!

1. limited availability of slips beamy enough to accommodate cats
2. no experience with cats, therefore they buy what they know
3. very few cats available in some regions of the planet
4. many of the good cats are made in France :-)
5. many of the cats available in the USA are ex-charter boats, and rather
well, um . . . *used*
6. good quality cats generally cost about 20-50% more than equivalent-sized
monohulls
7. cats, being a rarity in some areas, are perceived as difficult to resell

need more?
