Re: [PCW] Power cats better than trawler yachts
John,
Thanks so much for replying to an interested (and ignorant) layman. There
seems no place to get an education on catamarans other than through experienced
experts who, understandably, have little time to answer basic questions.
But, if you would, can you explain how a six-foot hull beam (waterline) on a 55'
displacement cat is preferable, to, say, a four-foot beam, with its
significantly reduced resistance? I realize a six-foot beam is highly preferable for
accomadations, but I keep reading that a length to beam ratio of 12 to 16:1 is
optimal for long range, high speed, and low fuel consumption with small
engines. Is this all voodoo, witchcraft, or is there some science and logic to
all this? HELP!
Thanks,
Paul Christman
p.s. Your 55' project sounds fantastic, especially if you're taking the
lessons from Pacific Harmony.

Georgs why is the PWC list formatted differently than the T&T list with
respectto how replying goes.
On T&T if you click on REPLY the post only goes to originator and you have
to click REPLY TO ALL for the post to go back to the whole list.
On PWC if you click REPLY only; then the post still goes back to whole
list.
I see that someone else just got caught by this again. I myself was caught
out by this only two days ago.
Not fair. Yuor originallist rules suggest first replying privately unless
content is relevant to wholelist. yet your format unintentionally sets up a
trap for the unwary. Those of us who subscribe to multiple lists do not
always notice the distinction each time. And of course many of us are also
subscribed to multiple lists.
There are even parallel thread on same subject but on different lists.

Arild
One way to be certain of how/where your reply goes
is to ALWAYS select "REPLY ALL" and then remove
any "offending" addressees before you actually send the
message.

For the information of Arild and anyone else interested in how lists
such as this one work:
T&T and every other forum that I host started just like Power
Catamaran List is starting, with the List being the default
recipient. When an interactive mailing list is just getting started,
it's one way of generating discussion. Yes, sometimes we end up with
trivia being posted, but overall it helps.
When membership reaches around 500 subscribers, and there is plenty
of traffic, the format changes to where the replies are directed to
the original poster, as you are experiencing on the older, more
established forums.
Power Catamaran List is approaching the 300-member mark, so we'll
stick with the current format for a while longer.
