As an afterthought.
Taking a 50ft cat into a small harbour in bad weather could in itself be quite a demanding exercise.
A cat is lighter than both a mono sailing boat or a power boat.
In my very limited experience of a 9m Catalac they get blown about quite q bit even under engine, and even with twin engines were quite difficult to manoeuvre in a strong cross wind.
I can imagine a big cat in a crowded harbour in a strong wind being somewhat embarrasing
I think what I'm saying is don't jump out of the frying pan into the fire.
PPS
You mention Cat A for the boat, which reminded me. Lower categories of boat used commercially can only sail within specific distance of a "safe haven"
As this is legislation there must be some definition of what constitutes a "safe have"
From that it follows that whatever harbour, port or facility constitutes a "safe haven" must allow entry - otherwise it could not be a haven.
QED I suggest

Mind, he'd be banned from Polpero, once they shut the storm gate.

If so, by repeating how useless his threads are, don't you just help him reach this target?

I am getting a bit fed up here. I do not remotely understand why you have to try to be polite.
There is not a problem. I never stated there was. I simply requested if anyone knew if there was a law on this matter and it seems no one does know of one. If there was a a law it would be interesting to know what it is - thats it - its that simple.
As often happens there were some interesting experiences relating to the subject from overseas ports and I for one learnt a bit from that. Others also seemed interested and made comments.
The thought had come to mind because a sailing cat does not have the speed to run from some storms whereas all my previous boats had that option. There is no more to it than that.
However this does not seem good enough for you and Haydn - you try to make an issue out of it.
All I can say is please try and get a life.
I have never seen this subject raised before on the forum and I and others found the small discussion interesting but some just have to step in and start the really silly points that you are making. .

I think it's just Gludys latest attempt to get the 10 million thread post. Invent somthing that's never happend, get everone het up about it. Then decide some thing has to be done about it.
The only people getting as you call it 'het up about it' are you and your cronies. It was a simple peaceful discussion until you cam along with your usual anti-Gludy drivel.
Its your rudeness and stupid bullying tactics that make a lot of my threads drift away from the original subject and end up as some sort of forum row.
Please - just ignore all my threads or actually try contributing without resorting to insults.
I know that may be difficult but if you try very hard ... it can be done.
As regards the event never happening - the experiences related by other here pass what I was talking about by a mile and were a positive contribution - a shared experience.
As regards anyone making a point that any class A boat can survive anything the UK waters can throw at them is simply ignorant- just look at history of wrecks - even this last 12 months around our shores and they were large commercial vessels.

You are so right - in fact they start the personal insults - it develops into a sort of schoolyard fight and everyone gathers around!!!
This thread was meant as a very simple thing and was about over when they started,
The points being made - as is often the case are totally absurd - that a class A cat should be able to take anything the UK waters can throw at it!!!!!

Yes it does increase the thread count. But also adds to sanity.
Gudy said. "I have not seen this subject raised before". Or words to that effect.
Because. Theres only gludy on the planet who would ask the question.

No, the point being made is, gludys worried that he might get banned from entering a port in a storm and was wondering if there was a law about it..
If there is a law it's. Any port in a storm.

To me it's a stupid question.
Tell you what Haydn........seems to me that there are no stupid questions......only stupid answers??
Now you don't strike me as a stupid person, and don't take my post as me just having a pop at you, but no-one is born with all the answers, so why not cut Paul a bit of slack?
