Singlehanding a catamaran? I have my bareboat certificate, recognize that there is much I must learn before undertaking a long solo cruise, am inclined to get a cat. And go from Med across Atlantic, through Panama Canal, up Mexico coast, anchor somewhere for some months. Please advise. Thank you, Jeff P<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p class=\"Body\">Hi Jeff: Singlehanding is a controversial subject, as it is impossible for a singlehander to stand proper watches. That said, unless you have a very large multihull, one which has enough size to resist capsize, I would suggest a monohull, which will be faster than any cruising cat, and give you far more factor of safety in heavy weather.<\/p>\n<p>None of our books address singlehanding on its own, but all of their information applies as much to singlehanding as to cruising with a partner or crew.
