Well, if it's wet and delaminated, most likely not hitting anything and lots of luck!!!

Chuckles-

Be nice to the leadmine sailors, since they tend to get nasty if you tease them.

That's allright, I can run away from most of them, invite the rest aboard for Gosling's and convert to them catamarans.
Together we can band together and lobby marina owners to understand that a 10 ft wide slip is ridiculous, even for a 8.5 ft beam.

Sounds good to me... But, then again, I don't need to be converted.

If a sailor goes to power, it is called "crossing over to the dark side". What is it called when a mono sailor "crosses over" to multi's? And vice versa?

Becoming enlightened... that's actually what happens when you go from a leadmine to a multihull.

Last time I heard that trancission mentioned someone used the word 'split personality' going to multi and 'singleminded' going from multi hull.

I usually think of a monohull sailor who switches to a catamarran as becoming bipolar and usually suggest that a monohull sailor who is thinking about buying a trimarran go see 'The Three Faces of Eve" to understand the affliction.

Chuckles--

See, we're definitely dealing with un-enlightened people here... all this negativity... very depressing, much like the huge mass of lead or iron they're all hauling around with them.

Integral keel helps with that. As well as all-FRP construction.
