I was quoting an article ... but yes, I am pretty sure that that is the case.
Although you never know what the wave action will be if you are at those limits.

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.
