[PCW] Power Catamarans with flybridges

[M2barney@aol.com]

As yet another PDQ owner to weigh in, I agree with Sandy Kramer.   Although I 
can't imagine long distance cruising without a flybridge, it is wonderful to 
be able to "go below" on occasion, not only during nasty weather.   When we 
took our PDQ home from Canada to South Florida earlier this year we ran more 
than a few eight to ten hour days.   The fatigue factor is significantly reduced 
with a lower helm.   Conversely, maybe its the old sailboater in me but you 
can't "smell the roses" or anything else if you are ALWAYS trapped inside a 
plastic box.
