YES !!!!!!!!

I was kite boarding on lake Mohave a few years back ; there was
a Hobie regatta going on that day , with 50 + cats on
the beach. They were ALL looking at the 30+ mph wind
and nobody was actually out on the water but one guy and
his daughter, (and they were tearing it up) !!

As a kite boarder i had No problem with that wind, because
i simply matched the sail-aria to the power needed for the day.
I did the Same with my buddy on our Hobie 20 ; if it was
blowing 30+, we reefed the main to the size of a Hobie 16
for the day, (Or even sailed without the main, and just used
a jib).

I do NOT understand why most cat sailors won't
reef a main and match the sail aria to the wind conditions
for the day ; it seams beyond DUMB, to me ? !!!
