    Hi Kerry, I've actually looked at your work a few times!

    I'm interested in how a cat might handle long cruises, and how easy they would be to short hand.

    Thanks for your response!

      Hullo from a cat sailor.
      I chose a cat initially for fast stable sailing and very shallow draft.
      My background was in centreboard sailing and every time i have sailed a leadmine i have been annoyed with their limitations.
      My boat is a 28 ft Ron Given now 32 ft bridge deck with the original Given hulls lengthened.
      As i am a boatbuilder the mods have taken longer than expected. Too busy doing other peoples boats.
      There is a multihulls e list where you could find info on cats available in your area.
