Exactly how are multihulls dangerous??? Speed boats, driven at excessive speeds on crowded lakes are dangerous... multihulls are at least as safe as monohull sailboats.

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.

speed it relative, but stupidity knows no bounds. You may have a fast sailboat, but it will be slow compared to an old beater car. The fastest car is slow compared to a passenger plane.

Put an idiot behind any of those and it becomes dangrous.
