Catamarans to not heel. Not very much. They have a hull on each side that prevents that. The space between, that is where the water rushes through.

Sometimes, a wave is high enough (only about 6 feet) to slap the underside of the hull between the side hulls or "amas." When that happens, it makes a big ol "boom" and shakes the boat. When you are sleeping, it's like having a little kicking person right beside you. Ka-slap. Ka-boom. All night. Complaining has about the same effect.

We got that last night.

On the plus side, we are going faster. On the minus, see above.

We have gybed over to get souther faster. More wind. Faster. More belly slaps!
