The new catamaran will not cruise as quickly overall,but its poor weather capability will be greatly improved.The skipper/pilot will not have to make excuses that with a force 3,he has to slow down?nothing to do with saving fuel of course!!!!.Also looking to the future,if fethiye gets over its political stalemate of where to locate the new pier for cruise ships it will feature greately due to its car carrying capability.and even allow brits to renew visas with the car and not have to park them at dalaman at extortionate rates in a customs compound. As to being more bumpy,these fast cats were developed initially in Australia,whats more bumpy than the seas around the south atlantic,or even between Felixtowe and north. Germany??
