No information on the type of cat. Now real details on the sea state.

Poorly written story.

A friend of mine just delivered a Cat and got caught in some rough
conditions. The boat could only sail in a narrow 15 degree course
generally downwind.

Farther upwind, the boat took too much of a beating. Farther
downwind would stuff the bows.
