I was reading through the Heavy Weather Sailing thread in the Seamanship forum. A lot of sailors apparently favor active sailing tactics (i.e., running off), which of course are recommended for modern flat bottomed / high aspect fin keel / spade rudder boats.

I'm wondering what PSC owners in particular feel about best storm tactics specific to the PSC hulls: moderate displacements, narrow beam, modified keel & skeg, etc.. I have a PSC 34, but I'd be interested in hearing opinions pertaining to any of the PSC models. I've read a lot about storm tactics in general, but I'm interested in hearing your thoughts based on experience with these boats in particular.

Assume for the sake of discussion that we're talking about PSCs properly equipped for offshore work, cutter rigged, staysail, storm sails, etc., and anywhere from 1 to 4 reasonably experienced crew.

Thoughts?
