<I'm interested in how a cat might handle long cruises, and how easy they would be to short hand.>
Like any yacht they can be easy to short hand depending on the rig setup.
I used to singlehand mine a lot as i had days off during the week.
I have done a lot of coastal cruising but my boat is a bit short on deadweight. (Load carrying) for offshore.
A cat for long voyages needs adequate deadwight capacity for cruising loads without affecting performance.
This means 36 ft plus for a couple unless you are minimalists.
There are now many Multis ocean cruising. Many pacific cruisers winter here and the multi owners are happy with their choice.
Email us of list if you like. Contact details on the web site.
