catamaran stability

[voyager35]

You don’t need much wind at all if you have a lot of sail up like here. This is the Gunboat 60 in racing mode. About 206m2 on a 16.5 ton boat.

It's not meant to be. It's racing ?

Yes, catamarans do have considerable feel, it's just lost on people who have not sailed them enough. It's all there, it's just different. Watch a beach cat sailor balance on one hull for 1/2 mile; he has the feel.

Yes that is very satisfying to do.
Also it takes feeling to get it right when bearing away in gusts on a reach to avoid going down the mine (i.e. pitch poling).
