| On catamarans without fixed keels, a _____ slides vertically through a trunk in each hull to provide lateral resistance and improved performance when sailing to ______. | Daggerboard, Winward |
| A catamaran's ____ is derived from the buoyancy in its two widely separated hulls. Even so, care must be taken to avoid overloading, and to distribute weight ____. | Stability, evenly |

| A typical cruising catamaran sail plan consists of a large ____ - _____ mainsail and a roller-furling jib. | fully-battened |
| When a catamaran's steering wheel is turned, the ____ operate together because they are connected by a tie rod. They are smaller than those on a monohull, but their efficiency is increased due to lack of _____. | rudder, healing |
| Name four systems or components that must be duplicated on a catamaran: ____ , ____, ____, _____ | engines, running gear, cooling, exhaust, electrical, fuel, bilge pumps |

| When sailing to windward, the high profile of a cat creates ______ that slows. Combined with its increased ____ due to the shoal-draft keels, this requires a cat to sail at _______ angles and _____ boat speeds than a monohul to achieve good windward VMG. | windage,, leeway, wider, faster |
| When trimming the mainsail for best close-hauled performance, it is best to center the boom with the ____ and then use the ___ to trim the sail for optimum twist. | Traveler, Mainsheet |
| Due to its large mainsail, the catamaran is susceptible to weather-vaning if the boat speed is too low when ____. If the boat stalls, the jib may be ____ to assist the turn. | Tacking, Backed |
| The key to effective tacking is to have best possible boat speed, be close-hauled, turn the wheel ____, ease the traveler a little and quickly trim the ___ on the new side. Building __ is important before trimming the ___ onto the new close-hauled course | steadly, jib, speed, mainsail |
| The catamaran's faster ___ ___ exaggerates the ___ wind speed and angle, which affect how a catamaran sailor should steer and trim. | boat speed, apparent |
| When sailing to windward, daggerboards should be ___ to reduce leeway. When sailing downwind, daggerboards should be __ to reduce drag and turbulence. | lowered, retracted (raised) |
| When sailing downwind, find your course to best downwind VMG by sailing a _____. | slalom |
| When jibing a catamaran, it's important to jibe ___ and use the traveler and mainsheet to control the large ____. | slowly, mainsail |
