(pic) (Riley Smith, Bobcat, MS Gulf Coast) One thing to consider is that cats often don't sit nicely head to wind on the ball, rather they sail all over creation due to their windage up forward. What we find is that the boat hauls up on starboard tack as far as she can, tacks, gets the wind and waves fairly far aft on the bow, sails over on port, and repeats. Over and over again. Essential to secure the tiller too or you'll go through gudgeons pretty rapidly.
