RE: Random Thoughts on Happiness

I have little interest in cars as anything other than transport, so I never even looked at Ferraris that way. 🤣

A flotilla brings to mind Waterworld. Are catermarans better at weathering storms than single hull boats or worse? That would be my main concern with living on the ocean.

Sort:  

Catamarans are generally more expensive to buy and maintain. Getting them out of the water for maintenance is harder, and finding berths at marinas considering how wide they are.
They're more stable on the water for the most part, and have more space. They also go a bit faster. Stabiliser tech is getting better for monohulls, which is eating up that stability advantage, but then solar is giving catamarans better propulsion options, including full solar.
I can see solar cats really getting popular over the next 5 years or so.

I'm not interested in weathering storms. Around the equator is very calm pretty much all the time, so that's where you'd find me :)

I didn't know that. Sounds nice, but also hot
