    SailDesign Old Phart! Stay upwind..

    For a cat, the only thing you need to know is that when the windward hull is just flying, you are at the position of max stability, and Righting Moment = Displacement * Beam/2

    Simple. Just don't ask me to explain monohull stability the same way. ;-)
