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.

I read you should only pull the centerboard up in those conditions if
it isn't ballasted or part of the ballest. (ie: Iron centerboard).
