One other thing... most larger catamarans can turn very tightly and manuever quite well in tight spaces by using the fact that they've got two engines and can essentially pivot in place by putting one in forward and the other in reverse—turning tighter than would be possible with most monohulls.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
