I bet you never saw the boat hauled. I bet you never examined what is

the hulls in the way of auxiliary power, battery banks etc.

I didn't admittedly but the boatyard did and so did a couple of friends of
mine who were aboard and were given the full tour by the proud owner.

At the risk of appearing rude Wilbur you occasionally give the impression
of being more than somewhat obsessional and egotistical neither of which
are traits which are likely to win friends and may well influence people
in an undesired direction.




It is easy to confuse arrogance with great knowledge and understanding along
with no scruples about showing it.

Please consider that winning friends is very low on my list of things to do.

A word of advice - believe only about half of what you see and none of what
you hear. That catamaran will not go directly to weather under wind power
alone. Just can't be done. There are simple accepted laws of physics
involved which the ignorant always wish could be circumvented but may not
be.

I must indeed be gullible - I fully believe your third paragraph!
