Re: Cats vs Mono..why a mono

That's true, and the fact that cats don't roll as much isn't cat specific either. Some monos roll much less at anchor than others. Often I see a bay full of anchored yachts and one yacht (usually a...

Re: Cats vs Mono..why a mono

Jt I'm just basing my comments on my own observations, not to debate cats against monos. I've spent ample time on both to have my own thoughts on both. As far as upwind performance, I have no...

Re: Cats vs Mono..why a mono

Over sheeting is probably the main reason for any jerking effect. The sails need to breathe and over sheeting will block the airflow and cause a cat to crab sideways instead of foreword or alternate...

Re: Cats vs Mono..why a mono

Don't believe everything you read cheoah. Upwind performance is on a par with similar monos and berthing costs are about the same if you consider you're paying /m2 or for similar accommodation size....

Re: Cats vs Mono..why a mono

Re: Cats vs Mono..why a mono
