A catamaran with wings take you from an uncomfortable sitting position ( boat without wings) to a relaxed level that I highly recommend.
I am sure there are many reasons why most boats don't have wings but I would rather sail with wings, especially if your bringing crew along. I do own two Hobie 16's that are fun and that trampoline feels pretty small on the 16.
Maybe I am too old and lazy for all that crawling around. And it does take longer to set up my 21SE but boy is it sweet.
Many years ago I revisited the notion that I always needed crew for my big boat the 21SE. Than I started more sailing solo and found that boat very stable and comfortable. The wind in southern Indiana is usually 10 to 15 mph on a good day and that is fine for solo sailing.
Over 15 and I need crew....
