Video footage - USCG assists capsized catamaran in Gulf of Mexico
I'm not happy about people getting into trouble, but it does seem like
vindication for all the opposition I got when I originally brought up this subject months ago. Sherwin D. "Wayne.B" wrote: http://www.nbc-2.com/Video/Xtras.sht...eoId=769701845 35 ft cat in route from Isla Mujeres to FL, 175 miles SW of Tampa http://tinyurl.com/2vnm6o |

Was it here in RBC? Were people arguing that multihulls don't or can't capsize? I have extensive offshore experience in my catamaran and in many monohulls and am reasonably well tuned into the multihull cruising community and I think that multihulls can be excellent and relatively safe offshore boats. However, there is no doubt that they can be flipped and are not self- righting. -- Tom. |
