Malcolm's site it would
 appear that the inside space is about the same as a
60ft monohull...
 possibly the spaces on a monohull have more headroom.
I'm only looking at
 plans here and would be interested to here from
people who have been
 aboard both. "

I ask, what is a valid basis for comparison of multi's
vs mono's?

WWIV is listed on Malcolm's website as displacing
#73,819.

This falls between the Nordhavn 46 #60,000, and the
Norhavn 47 #85,000.  WWIV certainly has more
accomodation than either of these.

My current project, a #56,000 powercat, 62', comes in
between the Nordhavn 43 and 46, weightwise.

The Nordhavn 55 weighs in at a whopping 56.6T, twice
my displacement!

Is length comparison apples to apples?


regards,
Bill
