[quote=captedteach]There are several tricks to make a cat go faster and handle better - Sail trim is of course important and the old adage of if in doubt let it out still works. A lot of sailors have a habit of over trimming the jib This can push the forward third of the main in so that it loses shape and lift. The control surfaces under the water also need some attention Fairing the boards - even going so far as adding material to the trailing edge to get the correct shape. The angle of the rudders in the vertical plane can ease the amount of pressure used to steer the boat and therefore make sailing more enjoyable. Back in the days of the Hobie List there were tons of post about this kinda stuff. I have no idea if Damon has this in his archives or not but maybe he can point you in the right direction if he does[/quote]
