So what I am wondering is: If you have enough wind to potentially go over 25 knots on a beach cat, say a Tornado, but you are limited because of the boat's tendency to pitchpole at a certain point, can you break that speed barrier by putting a lot more weight on the back of the boat to keep the bows up? Obviously, two crew members on the back is not enough to do that.
If you needed more weight while getting up to speed you could have a scoop to fill a bladder on the tramp just by putting a pipe facing forward which would force water into the bladder then you could let it out when you slowed down. You'd need good baffles in the bladder or the cat would roll over when you turned. regards
