Uh, you DID realize this is the Hobie Forum???
Just kidding.
Try the Cruisers and Sailing Forum. Very knowledgeable people on probably any boat you can think of. Except Hobies, I have found. thats how I found you guys.
I Suggest doing a "search" first, probably most of your answers are there. or post on the Monohull or Multihull topics.
Its at:
http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/
Good luck.
Now can I have your Getaway??
