A fellow cat sailor pulls up and asks "why I'm all wet"?
I went out singlehanding w/main only and as soon as I got the boards down and rudders locked down I went out on the trap & ping! my trap adjustable line snapped and all I saw was the boat going over! but wait! I held onto the main sheet and pulled myself back on board w/o her going over (I pushed the stern away from me and into the wind to keep her from flipping).
I call that a tea bagging in 18-20 knots.
Big wind in Denver? cold maybe but big?
