U
A typical cruising catamaran sail plan consists of a large __________ - __________ mainsail
ST
and a roller furling jib.
Fully-battened.
When a catamaran steering wheel is turned, the __________ operates together because they
are connected by a tie rod. They are smaller than those on a monohull, but their efficiency is
increased due to lack of __________.
Rudders, heeling!
Name four systems or components that must be duplicated on a catamaran.

An engine's __________ battery is generally collocated with that engine and charged by an
__________ on the same engine.
Start, alternator.
Take care to ensure that the levels in the __________ and __________ tanks are balanced,
especially if they are located away from the boats centerline.
K
Freshwater, fuel.
C
Less heeling makes preparing meals easier on a catamaran than on a monohull, but it's still
advisable to take __________ to avoid burns and __________.
Precautions, skalds.
LO

with a __________ __________.
2:1 purchase.
YC
When sailing to windward, the high profile of a catamaran creates __________ that slows boat
speed. Combined with its increased __________ due to the shoal-draft keels, this requires a
catamaran to sail at __________ angles and __________ boat speeds than a monohull to
achieve good windward VMG.
D
Windage, leeway, wider, faster.
U
When trimming the mainsail, for best close-hauled performance, it is best to centre the boom
with the __________ and then use the __________ to trim the sail for optimum twist.
traveler, mainsheet.
ST
Due to its large mainsail, the catamaran is susceptible to weather vaning if both speed is too low
when __________. If the boat stalls, the jib may be __________ to assist the turn.
Tacking, backed.
The key to effective tacking is to have the best possible boat speed, be close hauled, turn the
wheel __________, ease the traveler a little and quickly trim the __________ on the new side.
Building __________ is important before trimming the __________ onto the new close-hauled
course.
