Then you are wrong.

See if this works

Raindrops on hatches and windows with grand views
Four separate cabins and no bathroom big queues
Chandlery packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cups without gimbals and plates that aren't skidding
Cooking while standing and no vicious heeling
Sea birds that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in bikinis who know their right places
Salt spray that stays far away from our faces
Surfing down white caps and speeds that exceed
These are a few of my favorite things

When the wind howls
When the seas build
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

[Repeat all verses]

I assume we are talking about amarous activities?

Yes, LOL. That sums it up nicely . A few posters on this thread probably didn't read the very funny link the OP included in his original post 5+ years ago and are attempting a thread drift:

You need to be bouncing up and down on a horizontal bed (maybe with a little dance in the cockpit in between verses) to make this performance truly authentic. It didn't quite work here on our monohull when I tried it out, but let me know how it goes on your boat.

REALITY = In cockpit in this Marina where we are the only inhabited boat pulling our water maker apart on the cockpit table with a rum and coke (no ice it's 6deg) and Jimmy Barnes belting out of the speakers...........Cheers

Well Done Seaworthy Lass. Of course I'll spend the next week with the dam tune in my head now

Honestly, I'm not sure that multihulls do cost more - not for similar sized boats of similar style and quality.

If there is a big variance, I think it's mostly a temporary one that is related to the increasing interest in multihulls, perhaps contributing to an increasing glut of monohulls.

However, I think the excessively rapid growth of the charter fleets is going to quickly reverse any such inequity.

There are recent multihulls that will point with good monos, but admittedly most will not. Even so, on a triangular course with equal legs up/down/across wind, multis will win more often than not. They tend to float better when holed, and are much less likely to be rolled in a beam breaking sea (less keel to trip over).

You're talking about the boat...right??

It was the first bit of websailr's comment that had me very confused :

Your tune is so funny, but so true, I often sail alone and after owning several mono's I bought a old prout. I love it will never go back.... far to many reasons to list. Winds changing heading for westend from Miami Tuesday ..anyone going that way?
