Re: The Reason People Are Moving Away From Monohulls

My favourite anchorage was on the East side of the island,...

Re: The Reason People Are Moving Away From Monohulls

Strangely enough... one of the most rolly anchorages, and I only spent 2 days on a boat in it was Soller harbour... Rock and roll it was.

Re: The Reason People Are Moving Away From Monohulls

Always breezy in southern Majorca... flat seabed.. direct from any direction.

Ken

Darren put the Westerly near the Marina entrance early doors.. about 6am.. A little chop and a nice roll.

Re: The Reason People Are Moving Away From Monohulls

I think: The Stainless steel large area will cause the zinc to corrode at a faster rate that normal. I know on Steel boats there is a tendency to use aluminium anodes, especially in areas of S/S.

Re: The Reason People Are Moving Away From Monohulls

What metal is the bolt that holds the anode to the S/S plate?

The zinc can only get on the other side of the plate by tracking down the bolt and reforming...

Re: The Reason People Are Moving Away From Monohulls

I wonder if you have electrical current in the water from your boat? Should not eat a free standing zinc like that. When you next dive, check the anodes on your boat and see if they have accelerated...

Cool Re: The Reason People Are Moving Away From Monohulls

I come from a motor boat background and am moderately familiar with roll stabilisers both active and passive. Active in the main being hydraulic and expensive.

The stoppers work. It dampens the...

They cannot. There are a couple of methods for dampening roll in a Cat but no need to discuss here. The rolling issue is not as pronounced generally or feels the same in a Cat.. That is not to say a...

Why did I state this?

It really looks like variance on the angle of your vessel to the other... like the boats are in different parts of the water with perhaps seabed contours causing the lie if the...

From my perception, the catamaran was side on the waves. Its a different motion to your Oyster.

Re: The Reason People Are Moving Away From Monohulls

Its a boat. One has two hulls and one has one. They jiggle on water. Seasickness takes no prisoners.

Yessum... both can make a person chunder.

Re: The Reason People Are Moving Away From Monohulls

Personally, I dont find "uncomfortable jumpiness/jerkiness". I find it different to a mono. I think maybe those who are used to a mono will be sensitised to the difference. Even some cat owners...

"They" includes me.

I dont want a cat for its condo appeal.

Re: The Reason People Are Moving Away From Monohulls

Yep. Sometimes I was grateful; that I had an apartment in Mallorca so I could go and rest. When it does those short hard rolls it gets very uncomfortable.

NO more or no less? You base a person wanting to purchase a Catamaran on its "condo" appeal?

Gosh.
