What's better in a 40+ foot cruising catamaran, sail drives or shaft drives? And why one over the other?

It would cruise to cruise to a four Kinfolk sailing mostly in the Caribbean.

who lived on boats in the Caribbean the past 30 years ....... tarry away from players sail! They are not in place, are difficult to impossible to find parts and not hard to find someone to effort in the Caribbean.

Whats better for Pacific ocean cruising, a monohall sailboat or a catamaran?

Why one is ameliorate of the other?
Why is one better over the other?

You cannot get a cat to advantageously itself if you capsize it. And YES, you can capsize a catamaran. With some effort you can get a monohull upright again.

A wave passing under a cat will slap the undersides (broaching) and limit your scamper. In rougher waters, you'll get more speed from a monohull. In calmer waters, a cat is typically faster with less heeling.

There are less opportunities to moor a cat on a land. You'll be using a tender almost everywhere.

Other than that, it's a personal preference.
