Ha! I'm with you on that. We seriously thought about trying a cat for two reasons - the shallower draft and the davit to avoid the outboard on/off dance. With all apologies to cat-lovers, we couldn't go through with it. I admit, I've never sailed a cruising cat so maybe it's not actually like sitting in a seat and driving a car but it looks that way <flamesuit on="true"/>

Of course they are also about $1K more than a monohull when I priced my trip so there's that...
