My wife an I have sailed our older Fountain Pajot al over the Atlantic and Caribbean for a number of years. I have owned both mono's and cat's. First we rented about a half dozen cats over the years to check them out. We were in our 60's then. We are now in our 70's. We had to sell our boat because of 2008 debacle but we loved our cat. Put much sweat equity into it and we learned a lot. We were in storms with her and doldrums. She alway got us through. The one and only drawback that we had was the expense of storing her on the hard. We were charged with taking up the space of two boats. She was not fast, about as fast as a mono but very comfortable and stable.

Great episode and I love that your cat/monohull debate included a focus on safety. You both made great points. One check mark in the pro cat safety column is redundancy of systems. Most monohulls are also mono engine, mono rudder (not the Southerlys but most...:), mono prop, mono fuel tank and when those systems fail you are potentially dead in the water. The redundant systems inherent to a cats design offer quite a bit of reassurance that a mechanical failure would rarely leave you dead in the water. The other side of the coin is you have the cost of maintaining two systems. Every pro has a con but in this case, I think the pro out weighs the con. Keep the great debate going.

Another interesting video and a continuation of what is becoming an age old conversation, cat VS mono. The points you both raised and answered are right, the chances of being caught in something really nasty nowadays is pretty slim as long as you monitor your weather charts and if something unpleasant starts to build you usually have plenty of time to avoid it. The way a cruising cat is built now is way different to even ten years ago, they are stronger in hull and rigging and you would have to do something pretty dumb to tip one over. The motion is different but like most ocean sailing you get accustomed to it. Last and probably not least, most cruisers spend at least 80% of their time 'on the hook' and going no-where, with that in mind a cat would win hands down every time for livability, your own travels over the past few years should show you how much time you spend actually sailing and how much time sitting still exploring your location. Enjoy Ruby Rose II when she arrives.

I have done 10 000 NM miles with her including Seychelles, Comoros including 38 knots apparent downwind sailing in 4-5m seas I still prefer my Leopard. Many have said that my model 40 are solid sailors when in rough waters and she has surprised me how well she handles in rough weather. Next year my full time cruising starts and I have the odd thought about buying a Leopard 46 but why invest more just for the 2 of us when my 40 is so reliable and set up now.

I really enjoyed your mini-series with the Wynn's! Before we bought our catamaran (a custom Crowther 50'), we really debated between a monohull and a catamaran. We did a few passages, some we had to pay a substantial amount for, and some passages with friends. In the end, we could have gone with either or, but when we found SOBAD (an acronym I hope to tell you over drinks someday), we knew she was the one. We knew going the catamaran route, we would be conceding some performance level, but daggerboards definitely help with that. Cheers!

@wilwebster2198 5 жыл бұрын

Catamarans get dis-masted in heavy weather. Tipping over only happens in racing where extreme conditions are not caused by sea change and boats are designed to be light and get their hulls out of the water. Cats are like a barge. They sit flat and provide huge forces to accumulate on the rigging and the superstructure in heavy weather. Mono-hulls fall over and relieve the stresses on the rigging when handled correctly in high seas. Note: I am only talking about the most extreme sea conditions.

@andrewkeir2282 5 жыл бұрын

You talk about not ever getting stuck in a terrible storm mid-ocean, and I think that's a big fear for a lot of people (myself included) when imagining a transoceanic voyage. You should consider doing a video on that topic. Seasonal planning, monitoring weather, and any contingencies that you might have for that time when you are at sea and serious weather is predicted.

@justinnitsuj7041 5 жыл бұрын

!! that's a big draw for me, the weather. Obviously not to be in some mad storm. But all the planning required of the handful of variables. a friend of mine says he would be afraid to sail an ocean, because the whole not near land thing.

That's a great idea Mark. It's actually not at all scary once you understand the world's weather systems, but I get that many people won't know much about that if they're just starting out. I highly recommend Jimmy Cornell's World Cruising Routes (it's a book), which explains this in incredible detail. But yeah, a video could be a good idea.

You mentioned you are thinking about the next boat (previous videos). Of course the decision is 100% yours and I do get the advantages of a catamaran, when at anchor, but I'd still stick with a monohull. Another channel decided to move from a monohull to a catamaran and the charm of their channel just disappeared for me. I no longer follow them. I believe they've reached a financial independence with KZfaq that associated w/ the catamaran just made the current videos seem "shallow". I keep enjoying your channel. The relevance you present, down to Earth dialog and chemistry between the two of you keep me coming back. Thanks and stay the good course. :-)

A point on catamarans in an ultimate blow... Richard woods called for rescue in his prototype Eclipse 32 off the Pacific coast of Columbia I believe, in 30+ foot seas (the Navy ship called it 35') for the comfort of his crew (wife). The ship was found weeks later , floating right side up, having been stripped of most items of value. And Richard's boats are fast and point quite well based on owners notes. Someone is building complete Transit 38's in England I believe.

Cats are like a raft sitting on the water, in a big storm you set a sea anchor and wait for it to pass. or run a drogue off the stern. they are much safer than monohulls in all situations once you get your head around the stability principles. but there are cats that sail well and can out point a mono and there are cats that are condos and don't sail well. The same can be said for monos.. Cheers Rustie.

1 other thing for you 2 you might not have thought of. Do all your deep water places like Patagonia for example, in a mono. Then when you go to the warmer shallow areas the cat will make your lives easier just due to draught. Great chat.

Hey guys. Love the Cat vs Mono debate, although I thought after spending some time with the Wynns you would have been saying "We can't wait to get a cat!". We have our Mono but know our next boat will be a Cat once we finally retire to become full-time sailors. I know the first trans-Atlantic passage I did on the Catamaran convinced me that I want to cross oceans on a Cat that stays mostly level as opposed to heeled over 24/7 like we would have been on a Mono. Just sooo much more comfortable. I felt a bit seasick the first day because the motion is different than a mono, but you get used to that motion really fast. As long as you follow the trade winds around the world, a decent Cat (even a "big & slow" production cats) perform quite well. On the 50' Cat I crossed on, we would sail at 6+ knots on relatively low wind days with just the spinnaker and sail at over 10 knots on a decent breeze day and over 17 knots in a strong wind. A Mono would have a hard time doing those speeds because of the keel hanging down causing a lot of drag. So as long as you don't need to sail into the wind for long passages, I feel the Cat wins in performance and comfort. Oh yes, side note, Terysa said it right. Only racing cats that are light and built for speed can flip. Big heavy production cats filled with water tanks, fuel tanks and all your personal belongings are way too heavy to flip so that is a wives tale, probably told my ardent mono hull people to scare people away from cats. Your mast would snap way before it would flip. Added bonus, Cats really cant sink because the hulls are made to be buoyant so even if you punch a hole in your hull by hitting a log or a shipping container you can wait on your boat to be rescued. A mono will sink really fast if you hit something and get a hole below the waterline. So Cat wins in safety too. I'll be doing the 10K mile passage from South Africa to the USA in May so I'll let you know if I feel the same after that massive passage. Fingers crossed we don't get caught in a massive storm and flip. Now wouldn't that be embracing after what I just said? ha ha. That's our 2 cents on the Cat vs Mono debate. Best of luck in your upcoming season of sailing. Cheers! Craig & Janice

Hey Craig & Janice- thanks for commenting! Your channel is a great option for anyone interested in catamaran reviews & boat tours, so for those reading this, go check them out. We were actually thisclose to coming with you and Paul and Sheryl on that transatlantic, it was only the dates that didn't quite match up that stopped us. Bit of a shame in hindsight- would have been a great experience. Anyway, we definitely *did* finish that week saying how amazing it was to live on a catamaran, and I think we can safely say that we're looking to buy a cat for our next boat. BUT- we also love monohulls and so getting a (much) bigger mono is still an option that we haven't discounted. However, onto more catamaran research, which will be a large part of what we do over the next 12 months. Can't wait! See you on the water one day- Terysa

Mono hull for me. Only ever sailed a cat, called Jade, off Airlie Beach to go diving. The ones I've seen recently all look like caravans inside. I guess it all depends on the experience you're after.
