I think it depends on the wind. We all want to sail on one hull as much as possible, for reduced drag. A narrower boat will fly a hull sooner, with less righting moment, so in light air, that's what you want. But when the wind comes up, now you need more righting moment, so the same hulls, crew, etc. should go faster with a wider platform (more righting moment), right?
