"For the past fifteen years, I have listened to sailors tell me how
dangerous it is to sail the seven seas in a catamaran. They point
out that in a storm, the catamaran may flip over. They are right."'

Thanks for the link. You realize, of course, that this is the owner
of a sister-ship showing that even though the cat flipped in 170 MPH
wind, it sustained relatively little damage and would have protected
anyone on board.

This was during Hurricane Ivan's strike of Grenada, the worst in the
area in modern history. Hundreds of monohulls were sunk during this
disaster.

Couldn't you stand reading a header that was true so you had to change
it? Bwahahhahahahah. You argue funny - sort of an apples and oranges
approach. So what if many monohulls were sunk? That doesn't mean they
got blown up into the air like a glider and spun around in circles at
the end of the rode ending up belly up like that catamaran did.

That sort of behavior in a cruising boat is simply unacceptable. One can
expect it of an inflatable dinghy in a storm but the mother ship should
be immune to that sort of thing.
