Default Mayday off coast of Mexico-rescued from catamaran

Ah, well, then for the other kind of stability, you should get a
multi. :-)


The ultimate in static stability, created by hull form rather than
pendulum weight.

Faithfully and quickly follows the contour of every passing wave.

But, goes neutral at about 45 degrees heel. Also is also stable
upside down. Like some wide-beamed long distance racers. A rare
event, luckily.
