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.
Windage, Leeway, Wider, Faster
A catamaran's __________ is derived from the buoyancy in its two widely separated
hulls. Even so, care must be taken to avoid overloading, and to distribute weight
__________.
Stability Evenly
Located on the forward crossbeam, the __________ __________ provides
reinforcement to counter the effect of forestay tension.

is too low when _________. If the boat stalls, the jib may be __________ to assist the
turn.
Tacking, Backed

When sailing downwind, find your course for best downwind VMG by sailing a
__________ course and noting boat speed and apparent wind speed on different
headings.
Slalom
