OKIDOKI but even a cat has issues in nasty weather (assuming you wish to discuss sailing cats and not the powered trawler style cats) only a monohull is 'self tending'and will look after you in the really nasty stuff without 'too much' imput from you - for sure a catamaran wont - in the heavy weather you need to be totally switched on and make all the right decisions (when maybe your not in the correct frame of mind to make these sort of decisions)(and i am a big cat fan) and nor IMHO would a trawler no matter how many hulls it had though i do have to say i have little experience of such a beast.
regards
David
