don't think many multihulls would survive this beating. Upwind is hard on anything.
I guess upwind should be structurally harder on boats with a keel, because they require more energy to move, so when hitting a wave they also have more energy to loose. Also, they loose it faster due to their shape.
Anyone can confirm that? A rigorous answer would be quite complicated, but maybe Wouter can enlighten us.
