I like catamarans well enough; but I have often wondered if the expense and hassle was worth it. It's the same thing with larger mono-hulls. For certain they are more comfortable, but are they enough more comfortable to justify the extra time and expense of ownership? I think about up-sizing once in awhile but always come to the conclusion that I would have to be a full time cruiser, and a very social one at that, to justify it. And maybe not even then.

The cats are nice if you spend months aboard, but like already stated, $$$$. If I had the $, I could see owning one, only so my wife, (disabilities) could sail with me.

Godot, your Bayfield 29 is a great boat for day sailing or cruising. I love the huge forward head.

Yes, great boat! Personally, I love the shallow draft! So important in the keys or Bahamas! Awesome cruiser

Yes, shallow draft definitely has its advantages. I was driving north summer of '24 to look at an Island Packet 27 with a centerboard. They only draw 2 1/2' with the board up. Unfortunately a semi drifted into my lane and totaled my car. It took 2 weeks to sort that mess out and by then the seller gave it to a relative. 😒
