Re: Stus-List How would you prepare a C&C to cross the Atlantic

I wonder what the motion on a cat would be like. On a mono hull the roll is dampened by the wind on the sails. On a cat there is that wide stance. Anyone here have comparative experience? Steve Thomas C&C27 MKIII -Original Message- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com]O

Re: Stus-List How would you prepare a C&C to cross the Atlantic

I took a 46' cruising cat from Florida to California, then later from LA to Hawaii. My overall observation is that a cat goes over every wave twice; first one hul then the other goes over the wave so the motion is much jerkier than we're used to on a monohull. In beam-on waves, the hulls float over

Re: Stus-List How would you prepare a C&C to cross the Atlantic

Motion is way different. Going to windward it is BANG BANG if the waves hit the bridgedeck. The motion can be much nicer too off the wind, but it is not as predictable. You can't get in the groove to move around on deck as well. It seems just at random times the boat jerks a few inches one way o

Re: Stus-List How would you prepare a C&C to cross the Atlantic

My limited experience on a 44 foot cat between Virginia and No. Carolina was not fun. Funny motion as the cat has a sidewards motion on top of the up and down. Plus, in waves, the cat gets hit by the water between the hulls and it sounds like someone is under the boat with a sledge hammer poundi
