George, Another feature of the Supercat-20 is the shroud extenders. We raced in the 1st Texas 2- Step a few years ago in 35-38 mph winds and 8'+ easterly rollers. We got about 5 miles out and the wave we were on disintegrated and caused us to pitchpole. I weigh about 145 lbs. and was able to right my boat with a 12' beam in less than 45 seconds by myself and before my crew swam back to the boat. If your not into racing, the shroud extenders could be put on any boat and you must use a captive mast ball to use these but on some boats this would not be class legal for racing but is a great safety feature for the cruising class.
