Next message: (no name): "Re: [world-cruising] Cats vs Monohulls"
My Catalina 25 can get blown over to well past 120 degrees (way past mast in
the water) and still come back up and its a coastal boat. All my hatches
lock closed and the companionway boards have barrel bolts. Any blue water
boat must be ready for a knockdown and full roll-over. Take a cat to 80
degrees and shes gone forever. They are VERY stable upside down. My wife
says she'll go to sea in one when they stop making escape hatches in the
bottom.
Love the room, speed, initial stability. Hate the cost, ultimate stability,
and difficulty finding slips.
Planning to go in a Cal-39. That could change. Fast mono with sufficent
tankage under 40 feet. Blue water race ready, converted to offshore
cruiser. Spend around $50K on intial purchase (cash). Thats my criteria.
