Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

You can do anything. You could spec a 10’ mast. The fact is all performance cats have larger sail plans. One of the things you will find is a lot of Dyneema in halyards, standing rig, and lifelines. ...
