I never report guys for their trolling, do you?

I wouldn't think of it. I just let them go on

Actual testing was performed by the late, great Loch Crowther one of the words greatest multihull designers
This a snippet from his design book.

**Note: reference source, Lock Crowther Designs
"This work (tank testing at Southampton Univ) has indicated that the well designed catamaran is remarkably safe in breaking waves up to considerable height, even when beam on, we were unable to capsize a power catamaran yacht in the largest wave which could be generated. This corresponded to a 52' wave for a catamaran of 40' beam. Scaling this down to a typical 24' beam cruising cat means she should be O.K. in a 31' breaking beam sea. An equivalent size mono-hull power boat was easily capsized by a 25' breaking sea, and in tests with conventional yachts after the Fastnet disaster, it was found that a 40' mono-hull yacht could capsized in a 12' breaking sea

Yet another reason why Sher Khan to me is the better boat than an FPB

Gee, no response DE, not like you?
So what happened?
Delusions on FPB being the "safest" platform ever lacking?

Ok, that's it..!

Clearly not going anywhere helpful. This thread is now closed for obvious reasons.
