And it's not nearly as obvious as having the whole crew move to the windward ama.
Has water ballast been done in multihulls? It could be useful in controlling

It's also fun to wait for someone to "drag race", and THEN load up water
ballast. Suddenly the boat springs 10 degrees or so more upright, and gains a
lot of speed.
Happy days!
