Motion is way different. Going to windward it is BANG BANG if the waves hit the bridgedeck. The motion can be much nicer too off the wind, but it is not as predictable. You can't get in the groove to move around on deck as well. It seems just at random times the boat jerks a few inches one way or another.

My overall observation is that a cat goes over every wave twice; first one hul then the other goes over the wave so the motion is much jerkier than we're used to on a monohull. In beam-on waves, the hulls float over the waves, so in big ones you may find you tip over more than on a mono, which has all that lead trying to keep it upright.

On a mono hull the roll is dampened by the wind on the sails. On a cat there is that wide stance. Anyone here have comparative experience?

Flat bottom trough landings in one of those must knock your teeth out. Brent.
