Not too long ago, there was some lengthy discussion about the safety of
monohulls
vs. multihulls. What I heard was a lot of hype about monohulls going to the
bottom
when the roll over. Well, here is a recent story of Ken Barnes 360 degree roll
off
the coast of Chile where his monohull did not sink. In fact, when he was
eventually
picked up, his boat was still floating high in the water. True, he lost both
masts, but
he was in a position to either call for help, or jury rig some sails to try and
reach port.
I think if this had happened to a multihull, he would still be out there upside
down,
and maybe by some miracle he would have been able to get his EPIRB going and
kept from freezing to death. So much for the myth that monohulls go to the
bottom
when they roll.
