I ran an old Mainship for 14 years and trust me it's
seaworthy. But is is a little rocky/rolly as is
typical with a downeast semi planing design.
It is also a "4 ft boat" meaniing anything over 4 feet
starts to get dicey. Yes I have been out in more so I
can make that statement. (The boat can take much more
than I can so it was a good match.)

Compared to the cat (imo)the mainship is a distant
second in terms of
comfort and stability. Now maybe the question should
be, "is the
 Mainship
(34' 1979) just not particularly stable/seaworthy?" or
"is the cat way
 nmore
stable?"
