I am going to jump in here with some commetns on what seems to be a thread leaning towards catamarans:

I like them a lot. You get a whole lot of space. THe sail fairly flat and are comparatively flat. If you get into something like a Lagoon (esp the 440/420 series or larger) those things CAN cross the Atalantic. All of these positives, yet I do not own one.

Why??

Try getting a slip for that monster in S Florida. Seriously. If you can even find one, you will be paying out the butt for it... and that is if you can find one.

I have no real negatives against the boats. But before you get really serious about even looking for one, start checking around for where you can park her and haul her. That might change your mind.

Just my observations.
