I love your answer about why 12.2 metre is better than 11.9 metre, quote of the year I reckon, I think its gotta go in my signature block.
40 foot better than 39 foot - because - diesels are better than petrol outboards.

I'm really confused. So is a 40'er with outboards better than a 39'er with diesels? Or is it vice versa? I'm gonna lose some sleep over this one.
Oh yeah, what the hell is petrol?:-)

Oh Factor, you're not picking up what I am putting down, seems to be a common theme for you.
I never said that 40ft was better than 39ft, I said that 40+ft was the magic figure.
You then twisted my words like only you could (where did you learn this skill??) and said that I said that 40ft was better than 39ft.
The point is, that no matter what I say, be it 40ft is better than 36ft or diesels are better than petrol (gas) outboards, black looks better than white, you would still disagree, because that is your nature.
FYI - My 3/4 circum was on a Perry 43 from the small port of Sapri Italy, via the Atlantic, BVI's, Fiji / Sth pac & into Bundy, returning "Natalie II" to her homeland over a period of ~1.5 years.
One could seriously question what you are trying to suggest by that throw-away line; it would seem that you are attempting to tell me that a few trips out of Manly Marina in Brisbane in your Seawind 10.5 metre ranks you higer in seamanship over a trip from Italy to Australia? Get over yourself.

A Perry 43, was that a Perry mono or a Perry catamaran?

Re: Blue Water Cruising a Small Catamaran
Cat. Like the one that Alby was banging around in in his last series.
PS Factor please stop filling my inbox with your whining.

Thanks to all.

A 36 foot cat is a starting point. Anything smaller and you will not be able to get insurance.

Aw come on Cotemar, we all know you own a 36' cat I'm sure you can get insurance on a smaller cat.

Give it a go, but all the insurance companies I called would not do it.

We've owned 6 catamarans below 36' the latest being 6 months ago and never had a problem getting insurance.

Just a thought, but does that mean all the Gemini cats and every other cat below 36' is uninsurable? Think about it..... That would mean those cats value on the used market would be practically zero. No financing, only cash for a boat valued at over $200,000?

Re: Blue Water Cruising a Small Catamaran
Does your SW 1000 have insurance? Is that an XL and how long is it?

Both our Seawind 1000's were the original 1000,s with stern extensions. The insurance companies insured us as a standard 33' Seawind 1000 and had no problem at all.
