to delay pitchpoling at high speeds, (where the sail is trying to go faster than the hulls and the cat trips over the bows), you could add weight to the rear of the hulls

BUT, because of the problems mentioned already it would be better to simply cant the rig back as speeds increase, thereby increasing the distance between the bows and the sail's center of effort

which is exactly what windsurfers do already...
