As the beam gets narrower, the tendency to pitchpole becomes less because it will fly a hull as it gets overpowered before it drives a bow in. Personally, I would much rather contend with excessive hull flying than a potential pitchpole on a 33' long cat. I have sailed on a Reynolds with Krantz and it's an awesome ride.
Perhaps these larger cats act a bit differently than their smaller counterparts when the lee-bow goes under. I recall one race chasing Randy back from Ship Rock under spinnaker - doing the wildthing at 20 plus - and driving the hull well underwater. The boat simply lost speed, pivoted slightly off weather, and then continued on again. After changing my underwear, I experienced the event two more times with the same result. Now I'm not saying a pitchpole can't happen, but I sure was glad it didn't!
Mr. Krantz, have you ever gone sub-mariner with the R33?
