To anyone who has had or got a cathedral hulled boat? how is the handling?

[Johnn]

I have a boat , and the hull has got quite a dominant v & then the other 2 on the sides..
What I want to know is, how is the handling when going in and out of a harbour at a 'no wash' speed? my nearest harbour is like a maze to get out of!
Thanks

I've had a 17foot one of those for 20 years, well more than one, and I still have one now. Handling is absolutely fine. You can place it anywhere and control it no matter how slow you're going. No problems at all. If you're brand new to it a few hours practice and a PB2 course will be handy, but once you have cracked it (and it's quite easy) the boat itself will be fine
