[quote=Dogboy]I'm assuming your question refers to how much wind does it take to flip a cat under bare poles. With sails up would obviously take much less wind. I would think with the boat sitting flat on the beach you would need at least mid-30 knot winds for the average cat and there probably isn't much real danger until the wind starts going over 40. A light weight boat like an A-cat or F-16 would be significantly less however.
To be safe, definitely anchor the boat either at the front crossbar or with one anchor on either side connected to the trap wires. The recommendation to take down a furled jib is also a good one. If it starts to unfurl accidentally, it will get shredded.
