Hi David,

I am considering different types of multihulls, and would be
interested in why you do not favour the Prout style of cat.
As an older female I was thinking that perhaps the smaller main would
be an advantage for me.
I would also be interested to know in your views on the narrow beam
vs. wider.

thanks,
liz
