![7 CAT vs MONO Myths Debunked Sailing @ Cape Horn | Must Watch Before You Buy a Sailboat! [Ep.114]](/img/n.gif)
Great Video as always...THANKS for Sharing your Worlds....UA-cam Played 12 Commercials on your Video!!!!!! THAT SUCKS!!!! Hope you get Kick Back from that!!!!!🤬🤬You Tube is PUSHING the Limit on their DAMN Commercials
I would think that UA-cam would show 2 maybe 3, but 12 is way too many!
@@SailingAquarius yea...UA-cam is Getting PRETTY Obnoxious BUT I am STILL Gonna Watch you Two!!!!
Lovely cat! Wow!
It is a very nice Condo. Everything you need to live VERY comfortably on the water.
Sailing Aquarius Around The World Do I hear undertones of “not real sailing” ... you can’t sail a “condo” now, can you?
@@johnkeegan6646 you can now :)

Excellent tour Ken, thanks for the amazing couple Wendy and Greg too, looking forward for the discussion next week
Glad you enjoyed it
Cats , Great liveaboards & nice in good climates BUT after 50+ years of sailing , Cats , Trys , Monos I can honestly say the only times iv had to change my undies were on cat deliveries , Twice in the Pacific & once in the Malaccan strait . Both times in a quick change in weather & once when both engines got fouled in a net crossing a shipping lane , A very busy shipping lane - Horses for courses .
I think that cat drivers need to be much better sailors that mono drivers. Mono drivers of a SM or like sailboat can make many mistakes and still arrive safely in port. But, put the same "sailor" in a cat, and making it safely into port may be questionable. Opinions, just opinions. All the best, and glad you made it into port safely! Ken
Beautiful Boat.....Very nice proud owners, who seem to really love their boat. Good job with this one Ken.
Thanks 👍
They know their boat real well. A very well built boat with attention to useful sailing details.
I don't think this couple will ever want to sell their cat!
Excellent tour and interesting to watch.
Thank you and God Bless!

This Cat is for sale, but will be hard to sell it in the year of Covid. Verite is a well maintained boat and is ready for any crossing. It was sad to hear that Greg and Wendy were looking at selling their home. Fair Winds
I really enjoy the boat tours. I love all boats because I love being on the water. The Catana is beautiful and comfortable, but my head starts spinning when I think about the number of systems and maintenance required. I’m old school and believe, keep it simple stupid. Keep em coming! 👍👍👍
Glad you like them!
What a beautiful Cat. Not sure how any mono hull is going to come close to it Ken. 😁
Have a great weekend.
The Catana 50 is a beautiful boat!!
but but....Super maramu!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve always loved your interviews, and this is no exception.
Glad you like them!
I'm a Amel and a monohull fan but that Catana is a beautiful boat looks also confortable and very safe
Gregs has an awesome Catamaran. It would be like living in a very nice condo! And safe in just about any weather conditions. Fair Winds
The closest I’ve ever come to being sea sick was om a cat. I don’t like their faster and more unpredictable motion.
I do hear that they have a jerking motion in large seas.
The cat has cielling fans.... really. It's out of my price range. So I'll enjoy a monohaul instead.
That is one of the biggest problems with a CAT. The price!
Does verite have a blog or anything,I was interested in his b&g upgrade ,is there a spec list for what he did
Thanks
Verite was sold, and the previous owner is no longer sailing...
Hello everyone, I have a question about The Verite, What would you think it is worth right now? I have sailed with my stepdad on a 32` Hunter, and really like the cat, because of the room, and sitting up, than leaning over. I`m not sure i could sail one alone? TGIF playing golf with my buddies in the am tomorrow.....here`s to a good IPA!!!
Hi Mike, I am not sure what Verite is worth, but it did sell in Thailand about a year ago. Might be better just to look up boats on Yachtworld.com. But, Verite was well maintained, and would think it would be more valuable than the average Cat of the same make and model. Markets change month to month, and I am no expert on CATS... Cheers and hope you shoot 1 under like Tiger a few days ago. Ken
Nice cat but I like Aquarius better Ken
I like Aquarius too, but Verite is a very nice Blue Water Cat. And a 50' Cat has 3X the space. There are only a few boat companies that build true blue water Cats, and Catana is one of them. Ken
South of Europe I have seen a lot of Catamarans, but in the north, I have never seen one (Sweden, Denmark and a couple of times in Oslo). Never understood why?
Maybe safety?
spoiled undies ?
excellent video . lots of room to party on a Cat . lol
You got that right!
Отличный обзор. Спасибо
You are very welcome!
Greg and Wendy did a great job summing it up. Thanks Ken! Everyone has their preferences and it is nice there are lots of choices for everyone.
Greg and Wendy are living it up in Thailand! We wish we were neighbors again. Maybe in a few months Aquarius will anchor near them again!
Catching up on my Aquarius videos. Thanks for this one, Ken.
You are very welcome
The tour was great as usually so was the cat. But where can we find out about the price, Ken?
yachthub.com/list/boats-for-sale/used/sail-catamarans/catana-50/249429
Hi Ken, so if Greg uses the dagger boards sailing down wind to help auto pilot keep on track and also to point higher up wind, does this mean when ever depth of water is OK, he sails with them down.
Hi Mark, Greg would never keep the Dagger Boards down if entering any shallow area. Fair Winds
Sailing Aquarius Around The World. I’ll try this again, At no stage of sailing, up or down wind he would have the dagger boards up, apart from shallow water. So they are a must have.
Excellent presentation of this Catana.
Many thanks!
You picked a very nice boat to tour with an extremely nice host for the tour, your work is cut out for you for next week to show off the mono hull
Next week we will have a discussion about Cats and Monos on Verite.
Sailing Aquarius Around The World I know I just met you set the bar pretty high
CAT's are for petting.
Cats that float are for those who can't lern how the wind bloz.⛵️
There is no perfect boat, different strokes for different folks. More and more people are switching to Catamerans, and I would like to understand why. But, one thing you said was right on... Cats are nice to pet. :). Fair Winds Maj. Tom!
Ouii...je veux là vérité et rien que la vérité..
Can you handle the truth? :)
@@SailingAquarius all truth is relative
The catamaran spaciousness, amenities, stability, etc. is just wonderful but, most catamarans spend all of their time in a harbor. Effectively it's a houseboat. On the open ocean the fact remains that a catamaran is perched on top of the water and not IN the water like a monohull. Only a catamaran can be seen upside down after a bit of rough weather. A monohull can be knocked down but it will always right itself. You sail a monohull because you're IN the water and can feel what's going on all the time. You operate a catamaran as it slides on top of the water. I could never trust a catamaran! Women prefer catamarans, but sailors prefer monohulls!
Well said!
No, there are real sailors who prefer catamarans. Catamarans can overturn but we have seen a lot of monohulls sink. And large, well-handled catamarans never turn around.
@@Starmania_FR - So speaks a proud catamaran owner. I really do understand!
@@paparayg Sorry but I only have a 41ft monohull (Oceanis 411). But I sailed on a catamaran, if I could I would change without hesitation.
@@Starmania_FR - Well, I'm not going to be making any changes where I live on the Utah/Arizona border, far from any yacht clubs. I just turned 80 and my sailing days are long past, off the west coast of Mallorca in the Mediterranean many years ago. What I wrote was my personal opinion based upon an interest in things nautical and wishful thinking, and memories of better days
