Catamaran handling techniques include docking, mooring, and sail management for downwind sailing. When docking a catamaran, use engine thrust in reverse to maintain momentum while bringing the boat close to the cleat.2:28 Fenders must be adjusted to the specific height of the dock to prevent hull damage.9:48 To exit a tight slip, use differential engine thrust—one engine in forward, one in reverse—to twist the boat while using fenders as a pivot point against the pier.7:46

For downwind sailing, using a Genoa or Code Zero sail provides stability and speed, particularly when avoiding the mainsail's wind shadow.20:36 Motor-sailing by running engines at 2,000 RPM while using a headsail reduces fuel consumption and increases speed, which is useful for crossing channels quickly in variable conditions.1:45:48 When mooring to a buoy, ensure the mooring line angle is wide to reduce stress on the cleats and hardware; a submerged buoy indicates proper tension.1:29:04 Reefing and sail handling are best performed by luffing the sail into the wind to reduce pressure before adjusting the halyard or traveler.41:50
