[PUP] In praise of paravanes...OR twin hulls?

I have customers who are selling their 58' sailing cat for the same 
reason.  This very experienced cruising couple traded a Tayana 55 for 
the cat, did the delivery down to Tortola and decided to sell the cat.  
They said no one had warned them how noisy cats are at sea and how 
"quick" the motion.  Their Tayana, they said, was very quiet in the aft 
cabin with a very "nice, comfortable" motion, conducive to spending 
time at sea.

The cat is turning into a 140' Dutch fishing trawler for the two of 
them to cruise on, which should have a wonderfully comfortable motion, 
especially after the anti-roll tank is fitted!!
