Cruising cats should never be pushed to "fly" a hull, but storm forces may
lift one. Maximum stability can be approximated by multiplying 1/2 of the
centerline-to-centerline beam (or 75 percent of overall beam for narrow
cruisers; up to 90 percent for wide racers) times the catamaran's displacement
I think you will find (it is my understanding) that the modern volume
production cruisng cats 'are designed' to drop the rig before they can be capsized
by wind forces alone.
