Almost any sub-30ft AWB could be pulled over like this if you first remove the ballast. Of course there are some where the ballast comes off of its own accord /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I disagree, accepting the mast is one hell of a lever, just look at the ease with which the bloke is holding her flat against the water.

This is a boat which the brochures suggest is comfortable sailing with 6 persons and can sit 8 people inside. I could not find the RCD cat and I am not an anti, although it may sound it. I think it is a great idea as a towable boat to take on holiday, it is that picture which I find frightening.
 
Course, the main difference between a monohull and a cat is that providing that the monohull doesn't loose it's keel (like all but one of those in the pictures have) then on most occasions the boat will right it's self. Multihulls however have a horrible habit of being more stable upside down than when right way up.
