Why not consider Safety? I have collision bulkheads, flotation
chambers, its virtually unsinkable. An immense, stable
foredeck; no
steep companionway, modest rig. Twin engines, twin steering.
And one
little thing - it doesn't have to heel to go upwind!


Seems like the better choice if one has a toddler.



And obviously powering is of little value to you,


Wha? Aren't you talking to powerboater Bob?

Yeah, we really wanna start off teaching him that sailboats don't heal
and slow his development of balance. Thomas was on a Galaxy 32 two
weeks ago and the heeling thrilled him. Where's the fun ride on a
multihull? Oh, yeah...there is none! With his harness he's no less safe
aboard. My friend has a 5 year old who spent every summer on his Galaxy
32 and the kid is far more physically advanced than his peers. He
attributes it too all the heeling and general experience on the
boat...I agree. On a multihull he might as well just go for a drive in
the SUV. That's the big difference between Jeff and I. Jeff is all
about getting to where he's going without spilling his drink or
motoring. We actually like the sailing itself.
