Yes it does

[sww914]

Multihulls suck because they're too fast, too roomy, and they don't sink. Only girly-men would sail something like that.
The same is true of cars. Real men drive cars with hand cranks to start them, wooden wheels, and steel on steel brake bands.

Ah Mr Meyermm - you missed the irony.

Subtle as it was.

Excellent detective work on outing me as a Seawind agent - Its in my signature line. The multihull world one is a bit harder - Its a large image on my boat blog front page.

[meyermm]

When prospective sailors/buyers go to a web site such as this they are seeking out info and opinions from other like minded people who may have been there done that as the saying goes. If they wanted sales pitch from dealers (mono's sink) they could go to a boat show, showroom, marina etc. You seem also to have a problem with jet ski's as well, do they also sink regularly, have keels falling off etc etc.

No, they are noisy, smelly and generally operated by morons.

Oops, was that too direct?

So because someone actually works in the marine idustry, and owns and sails a multihull, they are not entitled to express an opinion?

And conversely, because you ride a jetski, and haven't encountered any stray keels floating around, you should be respected as an unbiassed expert?

Also, can you please point out where, in this thread, Factor has mentioned that mono's sink?

?

Keels float?

From this picture it appears as though some of the now dated production cats may actually not provide a habitable haven if holed. The seawind? may have taken on a simmilar pose to the other ,if both hulls had flooded ? Any comments?

Well, actually we are dealing with two sunk monohulls .....


LOL ;-)))))

meyermm is just baiting us as he usually does. He knows full well the value of sailing a multihull.

or anyone else for that matter. Speaking for myself, i like monohulls. My best friends own monos.

I decided that a catamaran best serves my needs. Incidentally, when the guys in my marina get together to go sailing, they ask that we use my boat.

Again, speaking for myself, lately the only dissenters concerning catamarans I've run across are strictly on this forum.

My boat tends to be the one everyone wants to raft up to in the cruising club.

I don't know why the multihullers even waste their typing energy on threads like this--your time is better spent sailing! Got my boat in the water on Tuesday, cleaned up the inside today--getting set to enjoy dinner at home for my birthday, and will probably ignore threads like this for the next 6-8 months while I am enjoying my CATAMARAN, and sailing by watching all the monohulls sail under jib only when the wind pipes up on Great South Bay, Peconic Bay and Block Island Sound!

Multihullers, there certainly is some BS on the here on Cruisers Forum forum but why waste your time and energy on a thread like this?

I guess the next best thing, then, is to irk some monohull sailor!

Go for it...

Next time I suggest you read before you write
