Really enjoying the series Peter , it’s so refreshing to have an a knowledgeable person like yourself explain what makes a cat stable or not in terms that the average guy can understand, thanks. Also really glad to hear that there is a possibility of Lisa coming back ,you and her are in my opinion are the perfect match and she is a great asset to the channel, fingers crossed
I really enjoy these knowledge talks. I'm actually learning a lot and have already changed my mind on the yacht I want to get based on the knowledge you've shared.
Don't place too much emphasis on what was said in this video. When he doesn't even mention the weight factor in the Stability curve it's obvious he's no expert. Watch the Ruby Rose video on Stability for an actual experts take on capsize likelihood. A performance cat like the Mumby is much less stable than a Lagoon or Fontaine pajot for example.
@@laurapitre5797 Even the screen cap for that Ruby Rose video shows a skinny hulled cat flipped on its side... I can flip a Hobie Cat over myself. It'd take the entire nation of Tonga to flip over a Lagoon/FP/Leopard. Be real. In a serious storm, everything is going to capsize, and no design considerations are going to affect that.
When you were talking about reading the weather in previous episodes, I actually understood the logic. You are an incredible teacher. Just spent the last 2 hours checking out Mumby cats. Amazing boats. Good on ya…
I sailed mono for 12 years, never thought of a cat the way you explain the goods and minus. But I learned something today from your methods. thx Peter ~
Thanks for this, makes me feel better. I have ordered a Seawind 1370 and I calculated the BCL/WLL = 41.3% and I regularly crew on Seawind 1260 and it has BCL/WLL = 43.2%. These boats also have a very low boom. Good all round 🙂
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM I agree, it is a very heavy boat for its length. Based on your previous video I suspect you also don’t like the big opening between the cockpit and saloon?
That’s awesome to hear from Lisa, and yes, would be super awesome for her to be involved with the build. Go Plukky and hopefully we see you come on down soon Lisa. 👍🙂👏👏👏😍😍😎
G'day from Brisbane, long time viewer and enjoyer and now a kickstarter, mate. Good to hear an AUS accent . Understand all the nuances of "our" language.
Had the 'pleasure' of crewing on an Outremer 55 Light on an ocean passage. Total fkn rocketship mate. Exited the barrier reef doing 15 knots under full rig into the ocean swell, withing 30 minutes we had the boat completely airborne 3 times, big crash as it hit the water again. It took a couple of reefs in the main and rolled up a good portion of the jib to slow it down to less than 8 knots in order to get it to stay in the water. The repeated slapping of the bridge deck still interrupted our sleep. We nicknamed this boat the vomit comet, even the hardiest of crew who had never been seasick in their lives were chundering over the side.
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM The wind was around 60 degrees on the starboard side and the largest swell was also coming from the same direction. There was also a smaller swell coming in just off the port side. It was when the swells coincided at the right time was when the boat got airborne. The owner had the boat for 5 years and never been offshore and neither had we, although we had a bit more sailing experience than he did mostly sailing dinghies and trailer sailer's. I quizzed him about the lifting off and asked if this was the way he normally sailed the boat, and whether he thought the boat would still be in one piece by the time we got to the Solomon islands (from Cairns). He looked at me and said, I don't think so, lets slow it down.
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM The right question. The La Vagabonde Outremer has clocked speeds of up to 20 knots (!) and although it freaked Elayna out, it certainly didn't get "airborne".
Don't need no math to know that the cat I chartered in South Fla years ago was a pig! A real wallowing sow! I've owned monohulls from 22 to 45 feet, once sailed my first boat a 10 foot catyak, in an Easter "blessing of the fleet" event in St. Aug. LOL. I'm unfortunately too old now but I will enjoy seeing you on your Mumby if I last that long! HURRY UP will you? Love you man!
Great series Peter and bloody good to see Lisa back. What a team, to have the two of you on a Mumby. That's worth being part of the Kickstarter program.

Hi Lisa! Missed you Ohh and Hi Plukky Kinda missed you too 😀👍 Excellent tutorial I don't have a boat, but the Misses says she likes my Beam to Length ratio regardless Stay safe , both of you, and I'm looking forward to the new project As always Massive Respect from Aotearoa, New Zealand 😀👍💙💛
Hey there Mr plunky guy, you're at it again doing this and that and a bunch of stuff. Tons of info there about catamarans and such and I can't back up my mind if you don't mind. I Miss Lisa, she's the best of them all and they've all been good. Well there's a rainstorm outside right now in the middle of the night so I'm going to go check it out. Thanks much you impressive young f e l l o w and catch you next time and I'm not kidding, bye
Hi Plucky, also worth talking about is the Displacement/ LWL ratio and the Sail area to displacement ratio and the LWL to hull waterline breadth ratio of a single hull, and of course the bridgedeck clearance, all of these items define the performance of the Cat.
Interesting stuff about catamaran stability. Most of the cats I've seen are bloated and catered for island hopping. Really happy to see Lisa is doing well.
Even though I agree with most of your information, I still own one of the production cats that you hate. I went into it knowing the compromise. I've sailed multihulls nearly exclusively for nearly 50 years, 14' to 84' including foilers, and appreciate what is needed to sail it safe. Basically, they don't give you the feed back when they're loading up like a monohull does and things can go south fast. It comes down to sailing ultra conservatively and knowing your boat and it's limits. Love your channel!
True... But don't you think it's a pity that you gave up the speed? The Mumby is plenty stylish in side and super easy to clean because it is just one surface ..I know people on a big heavy cat and they spend 2 hours a day cleaning the damn thing...so many nooks and crannies and the joinery had to be replaced every 5 years.... Crazy
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM All true, but when she agreed to this “hair-brained scheme” my wife got final say on boat. All my criticisms of it’s particular model didn’t mean anything to her at the time, but now after 3 years, she gets what I was concerned w- inaccessible boom foot, high center of effort, dependence on Isenglass for protection at helm, segregation of crew between helm and cockpit. Still I wouldn’t have put it on the option list if I didn’t think the compromises were acceptable for us! Keep up the great episodes
Another good and informative video Peter, its should not be seen as scaring people but giving them the right information to make an informed decision on what to buy.
So Lagoon cats have serious bulkhead issues and they're super heavy. I'm surprised they sell any. This is interesting even if I'm not looking for a boat. Thanks Plukky. Buena suerte, cuídate.
Lafail I mean lagoon isn’t selling I sure after Colin from sailing parlay came out and brought it to their attention. Lagoon denied fault but after 110 other boats that have not ran aground or hurricane damage they finally admitted it. So padding their pockets made there customers sail on unsafe boats. That a spectacular company. I want one of their for sure Lafail 450 JT
Lagoon serviced the charter fleets. Altogether now; that's an entirely different kind of boat But people (not knowing pigs) said, I'll take that pig across oceans It would be worth further study, even though known now that many people have gotten their knowledge (and their dreams) from what they've seen on You Tube. With fervent eagerness I look for thw day of that pack moving to some other thing.
Well, they are supposed to be floating condos in the med, doing a short champange sail to the next marina every now and then. They are good for their purpose.
U know mate u've really given us good ideas about mono vs cats, u know what i found out for yrs, they've been always comparing d big diff of cat against mono, ive heard them same as urs so some people prefer for trimaran,.. all these yrs i kept on thinking same thing, "prefer for safety ness" , i love to built my own boat terrible thing s i'm too old for sailing..
lets hope this leads to some new inspirations in the marine architecture sphere, perhaps plucky has found his calling, to design better cats and trimarans.
My Wharram Amatasi 27 has a beam centreline / WLL ratio of about 41%, which this video says is 'in the sweet spot'. If someone wants a smaller cat which performs similarly to the Mumby 48, one of the Wharrams might be a good choice.
My buddy bought a 58' Cat in SFO. He is very experienced and sailed over 30,000 miles. He never sailed a Cat and we had to bring it back from SFO to Hawaii. Well we got that thing up to 18kts and was hooting and hollering behind of Catalina. We never ever felt unsafe surfing down seas 8'-12'. We ended blowing out the main it was f'n crazy how it surfed so good then made a big hull noise like a bomb. Conclusion- I will only sail across if I am on his boat haha. We got calmed and made the passage 16 days from SFO to HNL. Boat was a Hugo Chavez-aka Time Warp
Watching you create an ocean going, round the world, aluminium Mumby 48 built to last for decades to come which is also self sufficiently powered/'watered' by unlimited natural energy is quite some dream to 'show us' Plukky... much respect mate! Having just checked that you have now easily surpassed your 'All or Nothing' Kickstarter Pledge your dream certainly looks like it's about to become reality... couldn't happen to a more deserving TH-cam sailing hero in my opinion! Your singular determination, grit and authentic lived experiences here on TH-cam more than qualify you to be the 'Optimum Bloke' for this ambitious and progressive, 'Earth loving' sailing challenge Pete! Sincere good luck Cap'n... I'll be following all the way! P.S. Would love to help with any basic 3D design projects/plans/ideas or even online 3D design tutoring... when/if needed.
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM Probably... 'plans' only go so far though ar Pete! Visions are a little more difficult to 'show'! th-cam.com/video/ZODTgHDZyng/w-d-xo.html P.S. Can you imagine having a 3D printer on board which makes high tensile replacement broken parts? Now that really would be the height of self-sufficiency. Sorry... getting a bit over excited now!
Very educational Plucky ,good sound information as well as technical advice.serious stuff. On a lighter note to avoid capsizing don't fooking sail,, by
Hi plukky.,you don't need to jump in the water to get the centre line ratio,you just measure the bow centre to bow center on the deck at the front of the boat
...I just like being in the water... Are mini keels in line with the bows or center of bouyancy?...I don't know this but the hulls aren't symmetrical ... Not sure... You are probably right or they are close enough ie within 4 inches probably.... Anyone know the answers?
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM You could also be right .But two rights don't make a wrong so that don't know where that leaves us 😅 . Good luck to your future ✌️🏴
Great episode! Some thoughts: - Physics and math are the king! You might don't like it but it will decide about your safety. - Base on my experience on the performance cat the easiest way to make a tack is to do it fast when the bow is raised by the wave. When you find this moment you will know :) - Maybe you will find Bruce Roberts books about metal boats handy. Please continue this series and all the best!
Not to forget the hull water line length to hull waterline beam should be 10 to 1 or greater for higher speeds and less wave making. So 4.8 feet wide at the waterline . Great work
Hi. Great topic. I prefer my monohull thank you very much. Cats are more stable upside down than right side up. But at least they don't sink! The biggest thing you are overlooking is the importance of hulls ability to support the weight of all the gear cruising requires. Monohulls are displacement hulls. They handle the weight really well. Cats are more of a plaining hull design that sits on top of the water. The hull shape you describe favorably does poorly with supporting additional weight. You load a M48 with the same gear as a Lagoon and the lagoon will be faster and more stable. The production Cats have wide hulls that can safely support additional weight. There are a lot of factors that go into Cat stability besides just length to width ratio. A narrower boat sails better. Points higher. And can achieve the same or better stability by increasing the width and buoyancy of the hulls. Also keel design and rudder design play a large role by allowing the boat to slip sideways or round up into the wind much before forces would be enough to capsize. A skinny racing hull overloaded with cruising gear can start to submerge on the leeward side and cause the boat to quickly trip over itself and capsize.
Coming up in a later episode....I hear you can load a lagoon 50 with 11 tonnes so it becomes more than 30t. That ain't going to be fast. And how much shit do you need to drag around?
I like it…”Manageable Speed”… everything in moderation!… and yes, I know that certain Speed may not be your friend…was and then wasn’t my friend a little over 20 years ago….smoke signalling was before and still is the better friend! Lol👍😎
Great video Peter! Good to see Lisa again glad she's doing well and would be great for her to be involved with the new boat, think she'd be a great asset (and payable in pineapples :-)!)
I am waiting for the lottery numbers to fall in and hand me som 100 million USD but in Swedish Kr of course since I am Swedish. Then I will be a sailor too! Until then I will really enjoy your building the Mumby series. I saw the talk you had with Zingaro on Mono vs. Multihull and you mention the Mumby there, after that I did some searching and stumbled up on the Jupiter channel and that Mumby feels like a really good choice. For me the building series going to be great to watch I actually like the repair and build contents more than the actual just sailing around content so I am really happy to have done a contribution for this however in the lower region but as I said in the start I have not yet won the damn lottery so a little is all I can afford. Best of luck to you Plucky and if you getting Lisa on the build that can be fun seeing your discussions on the building process and not only pineapple shortages.
Thanks Stevo.... You sound Australian with that name....we add " o"s to peoples names at the end back in Oz . Thanks for the support my friend. Good luck in the lottery
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM Dad is from Yugoslavia so it is not a typically Swedish name. Glad to help, your channel is somewhat a help for me to escape all the bs in the world so thank you!!!
While the maneuverability problem for wider cats can be greatly improved with larger, more effective rudders that most cruising cats don't have, there is another less obvious, but more insidious danger in an excessive beam length ratio. Pitch-poling in heavy conditions. Off the wind, a narrow cat will start to fly a hull when the pressure increases - a situation that's reasonably easy to bail out on. The wider cat, with more stability sideways, looks for another way to relieve the pressure. Unfortunately, that next, less stable, direction is a vector toward the leeward bow and whatever buoyancy it has. In my greed for upwind and reaching power, two of my early racing designs had this tendency. From a racing perspective, additional beam not only provides stability, but it also allows you to fly the weather hull at a lower, safer heal angle.
Hey Peter, thanks for making a comment. I really respect your ideas in catamaran design. Thanks for not being the usual hotel designer that we see all the time nowadays on the water.
Hey Plucky nice one! I have been a big fan of the Mumby for many years too. I spoke to Tim a while back but he couldn't be bothered to follow through to build one for me. He wants to stay small and has enough on his plate. I respect that. I am looking at building one in Brazil...but the price of aluminium had gotten through the roof now. Anyway I wanted your opinion on the one and only thing that really bothers me on the Mumby : The cockpit! For a 48 foot catamaran I think that it is really small and uncomfortable. There isn't enough space for a proper table! For me catamaran are all about the cockpit and living outside and still protected. How do you feel about it? Cheers mate!
Hey Arthur how many do you want at your table? (Round table...joke ha... Never mind) .... It's all a compromise. I think it's big enough just not like a Leopard 46

Thanks mate! I just discovered your channel and I enjoy your videos and explanations about it all like this one. I have watched quite a few so I did subscribed. Thanks for warning peoples about the LAGOONS cat, after several videos one thing missing about that producer. You and others did not say about WOW MUCH CONFIDENCE that they have in their design and the corrections about the bulkhears problems! When a compagny gives ONLY A 1 YEAR WARRANTY after replacing the bulkheads or reinforcing it , that says it all. Buy from someone else....WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN OUR CAT. On a better note have a great succes with your NEW DREAM of building that electric MUMBY 48!! HAVE A GREAT ONE!!!🌍🌎🌏🗺
Hey thanks for the videos yep I like the LWL BWL stuff and share the same thoughts on the newer cat designs vs the Mumby style. I have bought a Grainger 1250 cat, it is beamy, narrow hulls, great bridge deck clearance and very streamlined. I love it! She is fast but does have mini keels which are good for beaching which I have done a few times. Great to hear you are building a Mumby! Keep up the great info and love the ladies! 😎👍⚓️😘

The Mumby is plenty stylish in side and super easy to clean because it is just one surface ..I know people on a big heavy cat and they spend 2 hours a day cleaning the damn thing...so many nooks and crannies and the joinery had to be replaced every 5 years.... Crazy
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM All true, but when she agreed to this “hair-brained scheme” my wife got final say on boat. All my criticisms of it’s particular model didn’t mean anything to her at the time, but now after 3 years, she gets what I was concerned w- inaccessible boom foot, high center of effort, dependence on Isenglass for protection at helm, segregation of crew between helm and cockpit. Still I wouldn’t have put it on the option list if I didn’t think the compromises were acceptable for us! Keep up the great episodes
I’m agreeing with your wife 😊
F^%kin "A". The lovely Lisa. That would be great. Good Luck Plukky.

Another good and informative video Peter, its should not be seen as scaring people but giving them the right information to make an informed decision on what to buy.
Indeed but some already own those bad cats are are trying to justify the purchase
Way to Go LISA!!!
Thank you Peter. What a great piece of knowledge to have.
Yes Lesa you need to go along to keep him inline about all those pineapples lol
So Lagoon cats have serious bulkhead issues and they're super heavy. I'm surprised they sell any.
This is interesting even if I'm not looking for a boat. Thanks Plukky. Buena suerte, cuídate.
Lafail I mean lagoon isn’t selling I sure after Colin from sailing parlay came out and brought it to their attention. Lagoon denied fault but after 110 other boats that have not ran aground or hurricane damage they finally admitted it. So padding their pockets made there customers sail on unsafe boats. That a spectacular company. I want one of their for sure Lafail 450 JT
Crazy I know but people are a bit ignorant
Lagoon serviced the charter fleets. Altogether now; that's an entirely different kind of boat
But people (not knowing pigs) said, I'll take that pig across oceans
It would be worth further study, even though known now that many people have gotten their knowledge (and their dreams) from what they've seen on You Tube. With fervent eagerness I look for thw day of that pack moving to some other thing.
Well, they are supposed to be floating condos in the med, doing a short champange sail to the next marina every now and then. They are good for their purpose.
U know mate u've really given us good ideas about mono vs cats, u know what i found out for yrs, they've been always comparing d big diff of cat against mono, ive heard them same as urs so some people prefer for trimaran,.. all these yrs i kept on thinking same thing, "prefer for safety ness" , i love to built my own boat terrible thing s i'm too old for sailing..
Well you can watch me build it
Look forward to this big challenge and donated to your Kickstarter. If anybody can do this, you can Peter.
Thanks DJ... It is going to be interesting indeed. Thanks for your support my friend
Great show plucky
lets hope this leads to some new inspirations in the marine architecture sphere, perhaps plucky has found his calling, to design better cats and trimarans.
Heaven help us
My Wharram Amatasi 27 has a beam centreline / WLL ratio of about 41%, which this video says is 'in the sweet spot'. If someone wants a smaller cat which performs similarly to the Mumby 48, one of the Wharrams might be a good choice.
sweet video. so smart. ordinal walkthrough of cat vs mono performances and drags.
Thanks
My buddy bought a 58' Cat in SFO. He is very experienced and sailed over 30,000 miles. He never sailed a Cat and we had to bring it back from SFO to Hawaii. Well we got that thing up to 18kts and was hooting and hollering behind of Catalina. We never ever felt unsafe surfing down seas 8'-12'. We ended blowing out the main it was f'n crazy how it surfed so good then made a big hull noise like a bomb. Conclusion- I will only sail across if I am on his boat haha. We got calmed and made the passage 16 days from SFO to HNL. Boat was a Hugo Chavez-aka Time Warp
LISAAAAAAAA!!!!!! WOW THAT WOULD BE SO GREAT!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩
And she's coming
Watching you create an ocean going, round the world, aluminium Mumby 48 built to last for decades to come which is also self sufficiently powered/'watered' by unlimited natural energy is quite some dream to 'show us' Plukky... much respect mate!
Having just checked that you have now easily surpassed your 'All or Nothing' Kickstarter Pledge your dream certainly looks like it's about to become reality... couldn't happen to a more deserving TH-cam sailing hero in my opinion! Your singular determination, grit and authentic lived experiences here on TH-cam more than qualify you to be the 'Optimum Bloke' for this ambitious and progressive, 'Earth loving' sailing challenge Pete!
Sincere good luck Cap'n... I'll be following all the way!
P.S. Would love to help with any basic 3D design projects/plans/ideas or even online 3D design tutoring... when/if needed.
Thanks Artiz... What a nice thing to say. Top stuff my friend. And thanks for your offer for 3 D design but all I need are the plans 🙂
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM Probably... 'plans' only go so far though ar Pete! Visions are a little more difficult to 'show'!

P.S. Can you imagine having a 3D printer on board which makes high tensile replacement broken parts? Now that really would be the height of self-sufficiency. Sorry... getting a bit over excited now!
Very educational Plucky ,good sound information as well as technical advice.serious stuff. On a lighter note to avoid capsizing don't fooking sail,, by
Thanks
Hi plukky.,you don't need to jump in the water to get the centre line ratio,you just measure the bow centre to bow center on the deck at the front of the boat
...I just like being in the water... Are mini keels in line with the bows or center of bouyancy?...I don't know this but the hulls aren't symmetrical ... Not sure... You are probably right or they are close enough ie within 4 inches probably.... Anyone know the answers?
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM You could also be right .But two rights don't make a wrong so that don't know where that leaves us 😅 . Good luck to your future ✌️🏴
Great episode! Some thoughts:
- Physics and math are the king! You might don't like it but it will decide about your safety.
- Base on my experience on the performance cat the easiest way to make a tack is to do it fast when the bow is raised by the wave. When you find this moment you will know :)
- Maybe you will find Bruce Roberts books about metal boats handy.
Please continue this series and all the best!
That's my friend...I liked looking for the flattest spot and I had no problem.... You get one every 20 seconds or so depending
Best part of the video= Lisa!
What am I ... Chopped liver?
Not to forget the hull water line length to hull waterline beam should be 10 to 1 or greater for higher speeds and less wave making. So 4.8 feet wide at the waterline . Great work
In an upcoming episode my friend
Hi. Great topic. I prefer my monohull thank you very much. Cats are more stable upside down than right side up. But at least they don't sink! The biggest thing you are overlooking is the importance of hulls ability to support the weight of all the gear cruising requires. Monohulls are displacement hulls. They handle the weight really well. Cats are more of a plaining hull design that sits on top of the water. The hull shape you describe favorably does poorly with supporting additional weight. You load a M48 with the same gear as a Lagoon and the lagoon will be faster and more stable. The production Cats have wide hulls that can safely support additional weight. There are a lot of factors that go into Cat stability besides just length to width ratio. A narrower boat sails better. Points higher. And can achieve the same or better stability by increasing the width and buoyancy of the hulls. Also keel design and rudder design play a large role by allowing the boat to slip sideways or round up into the wind much before forces would be enough to capsize. A skinny racing hull overloaded with cruising gear can start to submerge on the leeward side and cause the boat to quickly trip over itself and capsize.
Coming up in a later episode....I hear you can load a lagoon 50 with 11 tonnes so it becomes more than 30t. That ain't going to be fast. And how much shit do you need to drag around?

You're welcome
Good info to get out there
Great video Peter! Good to see Lisa again glad she's doing well and would be great for her to be involved with the new boat, think she'd be a great asset (and payable in pineapples :-)!)

I am waiting for the lottery numbers to fall in and hand me som 100 million USD but in Swedish Kr of course since I am Swedish. Then I will be a sailor too! Until then I will really enjoy your building the Mumby series. I saw the talk you had with Zingaro on Mono vs. Multihull and you mention the Mumby there, after that I did some searching and stumbled up on the Jupiter channel and that Mumby feels like a really good choice. For me the building series going to be great to watch I actually like the repair and build contents more than the actual just sailing around content so I am really happy to have done a contribution for this however in the lower region but as I said in the start I have not yet won the damn lottery so a little is all I can afford. Best of luck to you Plucky and if you getting Lisa on the build that can be fun seeing your discussions on the building process and not only pineapple shortages.
Thanks Stevo.... You sound Australian with that name....we add " o"s to peoples names at the end back in Oz . Thanks for the support my friend. Good luck in the lottery
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM Dad is from Yugoslavia so it is not a typically Swedish name. Glad to help, your channel is somewhat a help for me to escape all the bs in the world so thank you!!!
Like the way you explain it Plucky ! Good luck with your build .
Thanks my friend
Hi Lisa!
Hi back
While the maneuverability problem for wider cats can be greatly improved with larger, more effective rudders that most cruising cats don't have, there is another less obvious, but more insidious danger in an excessive beam length ratio. Pitch-poling in heavy conditions. Off the wind, a narrow cat will start to fly a hull when the pressure increases - a situation that's reasonably easy to bail out on. The wider cat, with more stability sideways, looks for another way to relieve the pressure. Unfortunately, that next, less stable, direction is a vector toward the leeward bow and whatever buoyancy it has. In my greed for upwind and reaching power, two of my early racing designs had this tendency. From a racing perspective, additional beam not only provides stability, but it also allows you to fly the weather hull at a lower, safer heal angle.
Hey Peter, thanks for making a comment. I really respect your ideas in catamaran design. Thanks for not being the usual hotel designer that we see all the time nowadays on the water.
A Norman Cross Trimaran is by far the best choice over the Cat because of the ride speed and comfort. I have owned both and no comparison.
Would be lovely to see her back on your boat mate to lovely person to Lisa

Damn it Peter. You've almost worn me down to throwing money at the kickstarter. 😁
I take that as you want him to keep wearing you down? 🤣
@@daveamies5031 A little, yes 😂
If you like the channel then it will only be better
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM Just to be clear, I love the channel
Hey Plucky nice one! I have been a big fan of the Mumby for many years too. I spoke to Tim a while back but he couldn't be bothered to follow through to build one for me. He wants to stay small and has enough on his plate. I respect that. I am looking at building one in Brazil...but the price of aluminium had gotten through the roof now. Anyway I wanted your opinion on the one and only thing that really bothers me on the Mumby : The cockpit! For a 48 foot catamaran I think that it is really small and uncomfortable. There isn't enough space for a proper table! For me catamaran are all about the cockpit and living outside and still protected. How do you feel about it? Cheers mate!
Hey Arthur how many do you want at your table? (Round table...joke ha... Never mind) .... It's all a compromise. I think it's big enough just not like a Leopard 46
GREAT ADVICE PLUKKY
Thanks
Thanks for explaining this
I miss when you where sailing oz. The good old days

@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM I’m sure you’ll be back there again brother. Would love to see you sail the whole way round Australia ‘ Tasmania’ New Zealand. I think that’s when you where having the time of your life back then with sally and the crew. Get a crowd fundraiser going to help get back to oz bro. I’d chip in to help you get back you could even get paying guests
Helping you get across the Panama Canal ‘& Pacific Ocean
Give us some stats on electric drive motors and what you need in terms of batteries and what is the new technology with solar panels ?
Doing the research now
Haha, Lisa coming back, blood awesome mate. Here from down under 👍
Awesome and she is going to help build it... She will probably want lights and pineapples tho...
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM love your vlogs mate, legend
So good to know.
Thank you
Thanks mate! I just discovered your channel and I enjoy your videos and explanations about it all like this one. I have watched quite a few so I did subscribed. Thanks for warning peoples about the LAGOONS cat, after several videos one thing missing about that producer. You and others did not say about WOW MUCH CONFIDENCE that they have in their design and the corrections about the bulkhears problems! When a compagny gives ONLY A 1 YEAR WARRANTY after replacing the bulkheads or reinforcing it , that says it all. Buy from someone else....WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN OUR CAT. On a better note have a great succes with your NEW DREAM of building that electric MUMBY 48!! HAVE A GREAT ONE!!!🌍🌎🌏🗺
Welcome aboard and thanks for the comment my friend
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM SORY: MUMBY_MUMBY_MUMBY 48
Hey thanks for the videos yep I like the LWL BWL stuff and share the same thoughts on the newer cat designs vs the Mumby style. I have bought a Grainger 1250 cat, it is beamy, narrow hulls, great bridge deck clearance and very streamlined. I love it! She is fast but does have mini keels which are good for beaching which I have done a few times. Great to hear you are building a Mumby! Keep up the great info and love the ladies! 😎👍⚓️😘
Now we have to get everyone else on board to stop them making bad cat choices
