I'm sorry... I was thinking catamaran/trimaran....

On the multis when it gets really tough, the centreboard/boards are
pulled up to save them, allow the boat to be pushed sideways and to
stop it tripping over the boards.


And indeed, I was always told, by my designer among others, that
that is also what should be done in centreboarders in those
conditions.

like a Mac?

including but not limited to. Mind you, if you're reliant on
slithering away from such waves the conditions probably mean
either (a) you should have fled for shelter long ago, or (b) you
should be hove to anyway...
