A catamaran sails differently from a monohull, for example, many cats have trouble tacking, especially when at lower speeds. Therefore, a figure 8 may not be a practical approach. If the boat fails to tack through the wind, the MOB is left in the water longer. Each boat is different, and so its important to practice to see what the boat is capable of. One advantage of a cat is that there are two engines, each in a separate hull: You can approach the MOB under power using only the engine in the hull opposite from the MOB (the engine in the closer hull is off).
