[quote=klozhald][quote=DamonLinkous]In a way, sailing is sailing, once you learn the basics you can sail any boat just keeping in mind that sailboats have different personal characteristics, handling, and the lines are in different places.[/quote]
A couple of metaphors arise.
Sailing a cat after sailing a monohull is like:
...playing tennis on a grass court after having learned on concrete. Same game, but the grass changes virtually every aspect of the game a little bit.
...being behind the wheel of a Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S, after having learned to drive in a Camry. It is still driving, but every aspect of controling a 400+ hp car capable of 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds is a little different.
...responding to your mother-in-law's request to help "move a few things in the house" and realizing that she is talking about walls and the ceiling, not furniture. Her definition of [i]moving things [/i]is a little different than yours.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by klozhald on Jul 15, 2013 - 05:06 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
