[quote=shortyfox]Sometimes I use a "soft cooler" that's shaped like a thick briefcase that lends itself nicely to being secured on the tramp. I also have a tramp bag from Murrays that I can put the cooler in. I used to have a boat where I had an extra-large "tramp pocket" sewed on all the way across and it was made of the same mesh the tramp was, that worked the best.
Don't forget that small catamarans "hove to" just like monohulls. If you're unfamiliar with this technique, all you do is backwind the jib, leave your main all the way out and secure your helm hard alee. Your boat will just sit there, hardly moving. If you're alone it will give you time to put on or adjust your harness or get that drink out of the cooler. The only downside is your main will be against the shrouds, but hey, isn't that what vinyl covered shrouds and chafe tape is for?[/quote]
