almost always a breeze at anchor
and the anchored boat points into the wind so good flow
we lived aboard 74 to 92 no a/c best neighborhood ever
or the big buck cats run generators/air con or dock
but less a problem in winter
big expense for a cat is to get the mast down for storage
but you should both for the chance of a storm
odd summer squall can blow 80 mph
and to inspect maintain the mast and bits on it
next trick is good tie downs to keep the hulls from flying
and hope the other boats do not fly into yours
some report cat insurance esp hurricane big buck coverage HARD TO GET
ESP OFFSHORE ISLANDS that have had to many strikes in resent years
and say a good agent is a MUST have
winter sailing may limit that problem
but expect ins to be high if you can find it
homes that were 500 before andrew to cover
were 5k a few years ago but over 10k and still escalating daily
boat are worse and cats the worse boats to cover so research
