I think the fact that no one is voyaging in a power cat (or are they?) makes quite a statement. If all of the wonderful advantages of cat hulls are really true, why hasn't this taken hold? The fact that the mfrs. still put escape hatches in the pontoons makes quite a statement, too, doesn't it? Folks I've spoken with, who have voyaged on sailing cats, have brought up problems with "slam" ("like living in a drum," one said) while crossing the Pacific and horrific wear on the rig and the cross-structure fastenings. Just heresay, but probably not going to show up in the towing tank, eh? Regards, John "Seahorse" Georgs writes: So . . . has anyone come across news of a power catamaran that has capsized? I've asked also on the Power Catamaran List and a bunch of people in Australia and New Zealand (where power multihulls are popular) but am coming up empty. Reply to: John@Camm.us
