Re: Analysis and Comparison Cruising Multihulls 2013

Good point. We went through a storm twenty years ago while at anchor. The initial winds from the storm were 80-90 kts and hit on the beam. The monohulls were knocked down mast in the water. They did...

Re: Lets have a chat about multis.

Deck clearance depends on the size and design of the boat. More is usually better but if you have full standing headroom on the bridgedeck cabin on a 32' cat plus 3' of bridgedeck clearance you would...

Re: Lets have a chat about multis.

I have found two sites on the Internet that state the class a certification of the Gemini.
Seems as if you PCP have a pretty good idea of the size and type of cat you would consider to be ocean...

Re: Lets have a chat about multis.

I think it's hard to compare the fitout of the mono vs multi. A well fitout mono will have acres of gorgeous solid wood were the multi will have thin wood veneers over some type of structural core....

Re: Lets have a chat about multis.

I like both multis and monos. I can see advantages to both and appreciate both but I'm a multihuller at heart. I think this has actually been one of the most civilized mono multi conversations I've...

Re: Lets have a chat about multis.

No doubt the Lagoon has a better load carrying capacity so if you need ac, diesel generator, deep freeze, etc. the Lagoon would be a good choice. We tried to keep our Seawind as light as possible but...

Re: Lets have a chat about multis.

Seems to me that modern day thinking doesn't look into the facts of the past. 25 years ago a 35' mono or cat was considered large and seaworthy, nowadays they're considered to small to be seaworthy?...

Re: Lets have a chat about multis.

Don't think I've ever posted on this forum but here goes.
