GL: Cats for the loop

[joe]

I also looked at cats specially a PQ 34, however I did not like the lack of
access to engines and sea cocks (awkwardly located under bed).   I have a
black cloud when it comes to systems breaking and needing work.  The harder
it is to get to it the more the tendency to not.  Also, when mechanics need
to do work they charge by the hour not the job hence the more difficult the
access the longer it takes = more expensive.  Also the larger cats have
better access however are more difficult to get hauled as their beam
preclude many travel lifts.

SNIP - One word of advice when getting a slip. Give the marina your length,
width and
draft. If you tell them you are a catamaran some marinas will charge extra
(or
even claim they can't handle you). Of course if you get a monster with a 25
foot beam they will probalby catch on and charge you anyway. I figure if
they
have all the pertinent data and we fit into a normal slip, they will have to
explain why they want more, which they probably won't. Push comes to shove,
we've never not been able to get a slip, but we only have a 14' beam.
