I dont know what a 40 footer is like in bad
weather to cook in,
But my 34 footer in Bad
weather,
Cooking is totally out of the question, The risk of being burnt, From some thing that spills, I dont bother, I just wait till the weather settles,
The
galley is down, I can jam myself in there, Safely, Salads, cold
meals Etc, Cold coffee, sticking it in the micro wave to heat, and then getting it out again, Be very carefull, the coffee is stinking hot, Your going up and down rapidly,
Microwave to floor, Prop your self, Pick up cup of coffee from floor with out spilling, or burning your hand, Its not easy,
My 3 metre
Dinghy on the
davits, Fell off, the welds broke on the rails, If I didnt have it roped on the way I did for travelling, It would all have gone into the drink,
Those welds are for show, they look pretty to the unskilled eye, But they have no strength in them,
My
outboard motor for the dink, travels on the side of the Cat, On the rails,
Parking it is a breeze, Takes the scary bit out of it, when parking next to a $15,000,000-00. Yacht,
I only have one
motor, not two like most Cats,
I personally would not take the new
Gemini across an Ocean under any circumstances,
Due to the open transom,
