Hi Billrob,- great input. Thanks.
Then again,- are you the one who can explain to me the theory in why a cat can't go as high to the wind, as a monohull
Depends on the cat
Una-Rigged Cats can point higher.
But it is mainly (as usual) due to apparent wind and the interaction on the slot on Sloops
slow boat going to windward will be able to point higher as the aparent wind does not move so far forward
Fast boat will not point so high as the aparent wind has moved forward more
Simplest description I could comwe up with
