Cruising on a tri or cat

I am a long time monohull sailor. Very experienced on the water. Thinking about cruising soon, been thinking about trimaran's and catamaran's.

I know that tri's and cat's can flip so don't even bother dropping that one on me. Just looking for others feedback on cruising in a tri or cat over a monohull.

Here is my thinking. Port to Port might be quicker in a tri or cat .... although I now that means sacrificing some comfort. Would also need to be a little more picky when it comes to weather windows. Of course moorage becomes more of a problem.

Some day I will sell everything, buy a 50 ft sailboat, and turn left at the Columbia River Bar
