[quote=erice]yes, you've got to be sailing as high as possible, and that means traveler centered, before initiating a tack on a cat
seen a h16 trying to to do 180 degree tacks with his traveler half out in high wind
was slowly going backwards across the lake
later he said
"but aren't you supposed to travel out when the wind is strong..."
yes, but light weight, high drag (2 hulls) cats can only tack through 90degrees in medium to strong air so you have to be sailing as high as possible before you start the tack or you'll never make it all the way through [/quote]
