Re: Ocean Crossing around the world are best in Monohull or Catamaran???

My rule of thumb is:
If she gets knocked down, can she get back up?
Turtles are a joy to watch, but on a CAT not very fun.

My vote goes to monohulls.

Re: Mounting Solar Panels to an Arch

Seems like an expensive item.
What is cost for UBOLT with otherwise same spec, but without the rubber?

It may work using sliced bicycle inner tube instead of their rubber insert/dpacer.

Re: do I need a Marine Documentation Agent?

The documentation process is almost as simple as transferring a car title.
If it's costing you more than a few convenience dollars, tell them to take a hike and do it yourself.
