Hi  John -
 
Stability  (comfort) is one big reason for choosing cats over monohulls, and 
since  there's ongoing debate on the relative merits of each I'd like to take 
a  poke at dispelling this popular myth of the monohull side.
 
When  we first became acquainted with our paravanes they were indeed a hassle 
and  dangerous and required both of us retrieve them. But we quickly  figured 
out a few modifications and procedural changes and now they are  safe and 
easy to launch and retrieve single-handed; no reliance on power of  any kind. 
Just Armstrong power!
 
Regards,
 
John
