[quote=MN3][quote=jsb4g]MN3, have you ever sailed a G-Cat? It sure doesn't sound like it. I too carry kids on the front tramp all the time without any problems whatsoever.[/quote]
lol - yes. many times. I have several friends whom own them and i am good friends with the designer / manufacturer of the boat. I have personally helmed 5.0, 5.0 turbo & 5.7 and one of the only people in the world to have crewed on a power g-cat 36' as well (no sailing skills needed for that one).
Again, i never said it can't be done... i listed the reasons why it is not optimal above...
But questions for you:
Are they up front because there isn't room on the main tramp or just cause they think it's fun (which it can be)?
What size g-cat do you have? (5.0, 5.7, 21', 36'?)
How do you keep your jib from hitting your kids on the front tramp during tacking / gybing?
How much do your kids weigh?<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Jun 27, 2017 - 10:00 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
