Oh c'mon, at least you can discuss some of the differences handling a
cat and a mono.

Like (as others have mentioned) using the rudders gradually instead of
just pushing the helm over. Using the mainsheet to help turn (smart
monohull sailors do this too). etc etc

It's really not that different than what you do with a monohull, *if
you're doing it right*. Yes, with a monohull you can throw the tiller
over hard and spin the boat in it's own length, but that's not the most
efficient way to tack because you lose a lot of boatspeed. A cat just
punishes you a lot more for stalling the rudder. It's the same principle.
