Default Unconditionally stable sailboats

The reason my wife likes a catamarans is that she loves to sail 50% faster
than
all the lead draggers.


boy do you have her hoodwinked. the only time a cruising cat does 50% faster
than a mono is on a beam reach in 12 knot winds and no waves. upwind the cat's
VMG is worse, downwind no better.
