[quote=MN3][quote]I have read several technical articles, and I wonder if the solution would be to buy, for example, a Hobie cat 15 and increase the beam and reduce the sail.
Do-it-yourself catamarans like the wharram hitia 14 seem more stable: it's another solution but it would take me more time.
What do you think about that ?[/quote]
Beach cats are made to handle up to 20 knots of wind out of the box. you just need to sail it correctly and avoid heavy air when you have delicate crew
If you want a long project and have the skills / time & desire - build a boat - that wharram looks very wet, but wharram's are very stable and proved designs
If you want to get a modern boat "out of the box" and get another set of smaller sails (storm sails) for practice/tuning/heavy air ... this is a great idea. I sailed with 5.5 and 6.0 sails and had options in my sail plan. I loved that. If you have the funds ... go get a boat that fits your budget and needs (hobie15, nacra 570, etc.)[/quote]
