A 50 foot cat is a monster boat - more space than a small house. I would
guess that most cats over
cruising cats over 40 are sufficiently seaworthy. Remember, almost all of
the charter cats in the
Caribbean got there on their own bottoms from Europe or South Africa.

But the layout of a charter cat is not necessarily what you want. You
might look at the PDQ 42.

Wow, took a look at the PDQ. Thanks. Looks almost as roomy as my house at
42.
Nice layout too.

No, charter layout is probably not what I'm looking for. I'm thinking that
something mid 30-feet to mid 40-feet is great. Plenty of room, plenty of
comfort, seaworthy.

Can anyone tell me about Trimarans now? I've seen afew in video and on the
net, but not witnessed any firsthand. How well do they handle? Any quirks
to sailing them I should be aware of besides possibly high berthing fees?

Thanks.
