[PCW] The popularity of Catamarans

[Robert Kimsey]

I am a catamaran lover and would buy one in a minute but cannot find a
permanent moorage.  The beam of the boats, after 18 feet, simply makes it
impossible to find a home (at least where I live in Bellingham Washington).
In order to have a larger catamaran (over 34') I would have to have a
side-tie and those are few and far between.  It took me 9 years to get a 60'
(60' x 18') slip for my monohull.  

I think catamarans will become more popular when marinas provide wider
moorages for them.
