Cat have pros and cons, but when it comes to emergency steering, I think there are more pros than cons.

hello all my seawind has two tillers that are removable and hydraulic wheel steering
that has a disconnect pin on the ram within easy reach from the cockpit
and also the sugar scoop steps down to the water for easy dinghy access
the only downside is the fixed rudders that have a 700mm draught and the
fixed minikeels that have 800mm draught but it will sit on the ground at low tide
cheers ray
Sounds like a good setup.
What the problem with the draft of the the rudders being 100mm less than the draft of the mini-keels? It would be a bigger problem if it was the other way round :-)
Yes, I love the fact that I cats can be on the ground and not heel over. Most convenient...
