Power Catamarans - rarely mentioned

[GravyStain]

I think PowerCats are great - buuuut, older ones (which are the ones I could afford) are a bit too industrial, with cramped cabins.

They aren't the best looking things, but I could definitely live with that.

They just don't have a sense of occasion in the same way that a monohull does.

I do like the performance / fuel costs though... very frugal indeed.

Mooring them? Catamarans are all about performance at anchor, where it is much, much cooler because you're head to wind. Get over marinas, they're expensive, noisy, crowded....

So where do you keep them when not there.

On a mooring?
Live on board even?

Is there many moorings in the med

Mooring is definitely a cost. About looks, things are changing (in the good direction)!
A curious perspective when you compare a powercat vs an equivalent size monohull, the cost shifts from more expensive when in use (monohull: fuel, seakeeper+gen) to more expensive when parked (powercat: mooring). So the right decision is: buy a powercat and use it more often!
oh, about a large cabin, you can have one in a Aquila for example, but it is so heavy and bulky that it is more like a monohull than a powercat...
