Another reason that the hulls on catamarans wear out differently! If you're on a tack with that starboard hull, too long and often, it wears down faster than the port (out of the water)... The cat owners are conscious of this and try to keep it even... Great video, makes me go back to our family days on our ketch, the Sagitta out of San Raphael, CA - even took leave from the Nav to help my dad and mom in some blue water cruises...

It was an old woody of the Islander class. We raced all over the bay in the cruising class B. The boat came from Hawaii, and when we bought it, On the seat of the toilet said Adm. Halsey sat here  . And then theres cat. when we lived in Hawaii (not Navy) I had a P Cat. One Fn. going machine.---- John396 | |||

Our "Sagitta" was a Wycoft designed. 50' loa made in Taiwan - only one of two... Total wood, no tupperware there... Beautiful teak decks, interior etc... My dad did all the topside rigging and electronics and my mom even made the "baggy wrinkles" fro the shrouds. My folks spent 7 great years on her, transited the canal 11 times, loved the Caribbean and had a wonderful end of life experience aboard her.

My 1st live-aboard was an islander 28 ... for a couple, you'd better really like each other! That was for 8 years on San Francisco Bay. Tight, but a sweet sailing boat.  When we changed jobs and moved to Santa Cruz on Monterey bay, we sold the Islander and moved up to a Catalina 34. Now that was a nice live-aboard and as roomy as the Taj Mahal compared to the Islander ... with a lot more creature comforts.  Four years later, my better half said, "Bobby, it's been a dream, but I REALLY want a house, where I can have some kitties and get my hands in the earth in my own garden!" What could I say? She'd indulged my fantasy for 12 years ... and besides winters in a harbor hard on the Pacific coast were frequently extremely uncomfortable! So I sold the boat to our occasional crew, a guy we introduced to sailing and who is now a CG registered skipper, has yacht racing 'rock-star' crew status, and does deliveries and captains charters in the Caribbean. | ||

This is a One off Hibbard Motorsailor (33½ feet) that I lived on in the 70' & 80's. Picture was taken shortly I bought her before I repainted. Lived aboard for 9 years.  After I repainted.  | ||
