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

Many  thanks to Bob and others who responded. The message is clear to us: 
forget the  cat for passagemaking - at least for now.

>  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!!
