Re: Atlantic 57 Catamaran Capsized

Perhaps this 'gamefishing under sail' cat could solve a few problems simultaneously,...significantly reduced height of the rig for the same sail area,....and able to quickly get rid of sail to land...

Safe Margin for Cruising Cats

You don't think the stability & safety margin would have anything to do with the size (and particularly the height) of the sailing rig do you :whistling:
...as opposed to the weight of the vessel...

Two Atlantic 57 Catamaran Capsizes, why not MastFoil

It really is a strange coincidence that there were 2 of these same size cats caught in overturning situations.

In Leopard's case I don't think the design of the vessel would have made much of a...

Re: Atlantic 57 Catamaran Capsized

I've seen waterspouts off in the distance out in the Bahamas and the Gulf Stream that appeared to come out of relatively clear skies.

And if you look thru a number of tornado videos you may find...

I submit that the 'mainstaysail' of my aftmast rig might just as well performed as this reefed mainsail in these 2 examples, and/or as I have suggested for bigger wind conditions a...

Re: Atlantic 57 Catamaran Capsized

What does the prop have to do with this situation? They were under sail I believe,...not motoring.

Re: Atlantic 57 Catamaran Capsized

I just read Chris' initial report, and I have to agree with him.

As it appears there were no real erratic winds prior to the capsize, and relatively calms winds immediately after. It just had to...

Re: Atlantic 57 Catamaran Capsized

Capsized Prevention

Prudent:
1) Reduce sail area (particularly height) at night.

2) Employ a good capsize prevention device.
