Re: Catamaran vs Monohull... advantages, disadvantages?

Here's the TRUTH-- In a monohull, in a storm, you'll "rock and roll' but if you get knocked down, you'll come up. In a "Cat", if you go over, you STAY over.

Re: Listing to starboard should I worry?

From your list of things you've loaded into your boat, I would surmise that you have a BIG, HEAVY generator sitting beside your engine. It's giving your boat a permanent list ( I've seen this before).
