Many of those cruising cats out there that look and feel like condos can actually outsail almost all monohulls and still have 4 times the room and comfort.

When I bought my first cruising boat (after many years of racing hi-tech beach cats) I opted for a monohull. My thinking was that if it was knocked over, it could stand itself back up.
Didn't account for the fact that multihulls float.., monohulls sink. The keel only guarantees you that you will hit the bottom right side up.
Not to mention all the room you have to give up.

ASAP I sold the Irwin and got into the cats.
Good luck,
Rick
