All true!
I was over simplifying.
I also do not have any multi-hull experience.
More of a powerboat-er myself, I think I have a photo of one of the many tugs I've worked on, in my gallery.
Most of my sailing was on my friends CT 36' (hull #3) Twin (wood) masts! even the blocks were wood. Teak decks and cabin.
Against the wind we would leave the crowds in our wake.
He sailed it threw Panama and up the east coast. (With an extended stay in the Caribbean)
I know he still misses it but his wife is glad to be off of it.
In fact, it's family reasons why I no long work on tow vessels.
Just want to empathize, the importance of the Rules of the Road differ for sailboats on tack. It is not always port to port..... Around here, there are lots of weekenders that love to challenge
