[quote=cmiles3]Not sure I understand all your concerns. Catamarans suck at downwind sailing, but when the wind shifts or you steer 45 degrees off DDW, it's like stomping the accelerator on a drag car. The boat will accelerate, the bow will dive, until the speed picks up. If that's the conditions you're describing, welcome to beach cats. The obvious solution is to switch to heavier crew, longer boats, or wider beams. A few cats have deeper hulls that are great for preventing bow stuffing. ;)[/quote]
