Cats are just Dull
 
Youtube has some clips of Catamarans going fast....

As per my own experience on a few cruising cats, it's about the least
involving sailing there is. Clip above is a fast 14 knots and it's just
a snore. This is why we like monohulls. Of course the fast and fun cats
are a different animal!

But can someone show me a clip of a PDQ 36 sailing and having fun like
a J30, Express 30, 35s5 or even a Catalina 34???

Ozzy, those are all giant performance cats. Show me ANY clip of a PDQ
36 or Prout 40 doing anything remotely entertaining. Doesn't happen.
That's the selling point. Sailing without the feeling of sailing.
I don't dislike cats at all. They are very practical. I'm just now
looking to make sailing THAT practical.
