T&T: Catamaran vs monohull

[B.]

Sorry if I disagree from many comments I've seen in favor of monohulls, but
I believe a catamaran is the best choice for something like the loop, where
95 % of the time you're in protected waters. The rest 5 % is no bigger deal
on a catamaran than any other boat.

A cat is cheap to run on gas or diesel. Some of them have been around the
world with twin 15 hp outboard engines (diesel, European engines)

You don't need much water to get anywhere in a small bay, land on a beach,
whatever.

They're easy to maneuver, anywhere.

Lots of privay aboard if needed

Lots of light and comfortable spaces to liveaboard. Personnally, I can't
stand it anymore to enjoy outdoors life but have to do so in a basement
(monohull)

It's easy to find plenty of space for solar panels.
And it's easy to set-up a way to recover rain water as fresh water supply
while on long runs.

IMHO, any catamaran over 38 ft is extremely comfortable and seaworthy for
coastal cruising.
