One piece of advice... multihulls don't give you the same warning signs of being overpowered that monohulls do. You generally reef a monohull for average wind speeds, but you really have to reef a multihull for the gusts. Unlike a monohull, a multihull can't deal with the gusts by heeling over and reducing sail area...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
