ReadingDuty

As you can imagine I'm trying to get as much info and knowledge on designing cats, while reading stuff on the net the words of Ted Clements just brought a smile on my face.

"By design, a monohull sailboat almost invariably has to carry ballast well in excess of its ability to float it in the worse case. Ballast in itself is a useless lumpen cargo that strives to sink the boat from the moment it is launched. The decision to purchase it and float it around has to be counter-productive, if you have a choice. The nice thing about sailing catamarans is that they manage to stay upright by cheating, (all form stability, no ballast) so; you do have a choice."

Clearly the world is split into smokers and non smokers, cyclists and drivers, catsailors and monosailors etc...
