From the story:
"Double-hulled catamaran sailboats are fast and lightweight -- and harder to capsize than some single-hull sloops."
See what I said in my other post. LIES. Lies that cause death.....

More.....and I have to agree with the statement. It's so loosely
worded.

Searchers also found locked inside a cupboard a floatable radio beacon
that, if it had sprung free, would have automatically broadcast an
emergency signal to allow searchers to locate it. There were no signs
of a life raft or of cold-water survival suits.

"We don't know if that means there were no extra suits, or that the
crew took the ones they had, or if they had any,'' Eggert said Friday.

Anyone who has information about the crew and how it planned to sail to
Seattle is asked to call the Coast Guard at (800) 982-8813.
