[PCW] Power Catamaran

[Candy Chapman and Gary Bell]

Dennis
Thanks for the erudite reply.  Experience trumps speculation every 
time.  I did label the external tank speculation as fantasy, intended to 
both stimulate discussion and perhaps spark innovation.   My personal 
speculations about modifying a sailing catamaran did not involve 
disabling the sails in any way, only expanding the tankeage to provide 
longer range under power, at the cost of internal accomodations (the 
Admiral and I don't need four staterooms usually found on the boats 
coming out of charter service nowadays).

We met in Poulsbo in 2003 -- I was in the little PDQ34 parked behind 
you, and I want to thank you again for the gracious tour and stimulating 
discussion we enjoyed then.

Cheers
Gary
