Sailing a catamaran is similar to a monohull. There are plenty of thrills to be had sailing catamarans. Cats are quick, slow to tack, less manouverable and fun!
Some tips for sailing a cat:
- Sail with the traveller down
- Setting the sails better will result in massively improved performance
- Reef earlier than in a monohull
- The driving sail is a mainsail unlike most monohulls
- Get speed up out of the tack before heading up
- Don’t go too low in waves or you’ll pitchpole!
