Ideal Characteristics of a long range Cruising Catamarran
If you were shopping for a cruising boat to circumnavigate,
and decided that you wanted a catamarran for this purpose, what characteristics would you want it to have? Long range implies duration without outside sources of supplies such as food and fuel. |

Hey Bart... the "Bumfuzzle" kids (Pat and Ali) have so far...
made it from Florida to Phuket, Thailand, via the Panama Canal, aboard their Wildcat 350. However... I think their longest sea passages don't exceed ten (10) days. Bill Refer: http://www.bumfuzzle.com/ |

Interesting story on the woman eaten by a
sal****er croc. My uncle used to take vacations in the Amazon just to kill Crocodiles. What a great idea. Fun with a big gun! A Weatherby 460 Magnum. wrote in message Refer: http://www.bumfuzzle.com/ |

If the speed helped you outrun storms or danger or greatly reduced the
amount of provisions needed, then yes. Practically speaking, I don't think it matters much unless you are on either end of the bell curve. Amen! "Bart Senior" .@. wrote in message ... What about speed? "Bob Crantz" wrote Simplicity and durability. |

Practically speaking, I don't think it matters much unless you are on either end of the bell curve. It's a double-edged sword. Speed could help you outrun something, but that begs the question as to why you would be out there if you knew something was coming. The other way to look at it is that if you rely on the speed difference to use a smaller weather window, you would, in my view, negate some percentage of the speed advantage. Seems to me that if you didn't rely on the speed factor in your go/no-go decision, then speed would be a factor. :-) -- Capt. JG @@ www.sailnow.com |
