@salgiron I haven't heard of too many multi-hulls taking on the Capes, storm or no.....the first solo round the world ended badly for the multihulls....(got beat by an old teak monohull). I hear they are real stable...either upside down or otherwise....

In a storm, the fatty there, could not even afford to keep his baseball cap on, let alone make a comment from three meters distance.. No rain nor high seas. I guess when you are an idiot on a 44, you can post stupid crap pretending it is an adventure. I want to see them on the straight of Magallan. Crossing tierra de fuego...

tropical calm, nothing more

Tropical Storm? This is no storm. The seas in that kind of wind would be not much above 6 to 7 feet even taking the height of eye into consideration. This may be the beginning of a gale but it's not a storm. Storm conditions would be with sustained winds of over 50 knots and the seas would be running much higher - 20 feet or more after about 4 to 5 hours. I've been in storm conditions and believe me you can't even hear yourself speak let alone hear someone else. No, this is no storm.

@SkyyCaptainn I agree. In the other hand it is a Lagoon which are notoriously slow sailers. Most cats should do better than half wind speed irrespective of waterline. In 30 knots of wind I would see at least 14 knots in a 40 foot cat.

Only 9 knots at 20+ knot wind. Something is wrong with your rig probably, a cat should be going at ~15 knots in conditons like this.

What about bridgedeck clearance sailing this conditions? The dolphin striker works? I'm considering a L450.

Do you feel there are any safety(pitchpole) issues with sailing a cat in rough weather vs. a monohull? I ask b/c I'm shopping for a bigger boat and am trying to decide what to buy next. At some point I'll retire and that next boat will be the one I take off on so I'm trying to get as much input as possible. Thank you.

@KallyJones the cat is always more stable the a mono hull.

what do you mean you flew a hull? did a hull really lift out of the water in those conditions?

@PdxSailor1 No we did not get a hull out of the water, but Vic thought it was close!

I would call that more like 2-4 ft seas

@ZipSnipe when you take into account that the cat is 26' wide with 5' free board and the camera lens is at least 12' above the waterline it makes the seas look not so bad on film.
