Subject: Stus-List How would you prepare a C&C to cross the Atlantic (cats v
monos)
Hi Steve. I have to chime in on the Cat v Mono debate. There are good
cats and not so good cats (we call em dogs - or condomarans) - just like monos.
I spent 5 years and 30K miles on a Switch 51 cat wit
ls.
I'm not convinced - but the owner brought it back (with skipper) from
France.and outside of Beaufort, the dolphins swimming between the hulls
was something I'll never forget!

One way to look at it, an open 40 would be anything but a
comfortable ride. Flat bottom trough landings in one of those must knock
your teeth out.

There used to be a large cat ferry between Yarmouth Nova Scotia and Bar Harbour

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 experie

One thing to emphasize, this can be a fairly easy trip. You can usually choose
your weather by heading south for lighter stuff or north for heavier. I'm
generalizing of course. Preparing your boat and crew for storm conditions is
imperative.
Antoine lists good starting points.

Interesting to observe that most people think about adding pieces of gear.
I would put preparation under six sub topics:
