Josh, The term sail plan should be a giveaway. properly speaking a sailplane is the diagram we have all downloaded fron the Photoalbum that gives I,J,P,AND E for our boats. What Curtis provided would be more properly termed a sail usage guide.
A cat won't point like one of our boats. Going to weather is more like sailing on a close reach. At 22 apparent, even an overloaded charter Lagoon 380 is probably doing hull speed and seeing true wind at about 15. The charter company wants you to reduce sail to keep from breaking stuff and to keep the sailing experience enjoyable for the tourists - after all someone has several hundred thou invested in the boat and wants you to have fun and come back again. And you will still be doing hull speed even with the reduced sail. If you really want to "sail well" you would be on a monohull (and not one you get from a charter base) or something like a Gunboat cat.
