    <<A catamaran will withstand a great amount of wind - but when they are
    blown over they *stay* blown over while a mono will right itself.>>

    When a cat is blown over it floats! When a mono is blown over it sinks!!
    When cats and monos have been in Tasman storms it has been the monos ( or
    their liferafts) which have killed their crews!
    Pick the type of boat you feel comfortable in, But I would far rather be
    standing on the underside of a bridge deck. With orange non-slip paint of
    course, than sitting in a liferaft watching my keel yacht heading for the
    bottom.
