Boats & Stocks

>>> Bill, you should post the Link to your Boat,...

as it's a good cruising design, even if I don't go for steel, due to constant maintenance and I'd prefer a draft of no more than 5' for a monohull...

This boat will be slower but much easier on you, motion and worry wise, than a catamaran, which I don't recommend for short crews... To efficiently and comfortably sail a catamaran, at least 3 knowledgeable and alert sailors are needed on board...

The main concern with a short-crewed Catamaran, is to be over-powered by a squall, at night and to flip the boat... That's why mine had escape hatches on the forward inner topsides...
