May be a change sould be an extra turn for a port/starboard infrigement. Something that would highly discourage risky behavior. The problem I have with risky crossings with cats are.
1. The closing speeds of the boats.
2. The acceleration that a cat has that a mono does not. This keeps the starboard boat from just turning down to duck.
3. The time/distance lost for the boat that has right away if they have to turn up hard or tack to avoid.

To me a simple turn does not make up for totally scewing up someone elses race.
