Welcome aboard, Stephen! As time goes on and more power catamarans make offshore passages, we'll all understand better what the level of risk is. It may be quite low as, so far, I've been unable to find any power cat that has pitchpoled or capsized at sea. --Georgs -- Georgs Kolesnikovs Power Catamaran World http://www.powercatamaranworld.com
