Anyone else sail small Catamarans here?

When you tack is it like slamming on the brakes for you to?.
You sure can make up lost time in the straight aways.

Do you try to put it up on one hull running upwind, or down wind or
both?

Took a 15 footer out in 25 kts winds yesterday and had a blast
working upwind the whole length of the lake, Was an extremely fast
ride but tacking was a real chore, go from 20 kts to dead stop on most
tacks. Took 45 min to work all the way upwind for a super slead 30 kt
5 min downwind run.... and lost my mast on the final upwind tack, lost
a clevis pin in the rigging. Talk about a bummer.

By the time I got back to the dock the wind died down to 5-10 kts....

Oh well I'm sure the wind will pick back up someday.
