Chargin,

No - they're not really considered sissy...most pictures you see here are racers and they're probably more concerned about the tiny amount of wind drag such a float would add. Very few people that have ever capsized a catamaran - especially anyone that's ever been turtled - thinks any less of anyone with one.

PS - you should be able to change how many posts are displayed on the page at a time somewhere in your user settings for this forum. I see about 30 or so at once.
