Catamaran Safety
Some serious drift in the thread "Maintenance - Cat VS Mono" included a great deal of discussion of catamaran safety. To avoid further drift in that thread, I am starting this new one.

I did not see any mention of Fountaine-Pajots having been lost in that other thread. Has anyone heard of any serious incidents in FP cats such as sinking or other nasty happening that caused the crew to abandon ship?

The lower half of the forward compartments on our 43 footer are filled with foam to protect watertight integrity in case of striking something hard (e.g. reef, coral head, awash container box).
