The mainsail of a multihull is exactly that: The prime source of drive and power under all conditions. Rigs of catamarans, especially cruising cats, will have a fairly low centre of gravity to be able to withstand the enormous loads in the rigging and to counteract excessive heeling forces which could eventually even lead to a capsize.
Having a strong mainsail with full battens and a very large roach will add sail area in the upper third of the sail, increasing performance. Sail twist in this part of the sail is very important in this respect, both as a source of extra power but also to allow the top of the sail feather away to leeward when a severe gust hits and thus to instantly de-power itself momentarily.
I have used several sails from Rolly Tasker and was always pleased with their construction and performance. Our main and jib for our Lagoon 440 Cat (tall rig) are well-constructed offshore capable sails. Excellent reinforcement and hand sewn chafe leathers. And the sails are priced well below many other options. 60,000 miles later, the mainsail has done its job. Probably could have gotten many more miles out of it if we didn’t sail quite so aggressively. We have had our cruising Cat at speeds in the mid to upper teens, with our top speed of 19.2 knots in 30+kts. I ordered the same sail again and can’t wait for it to arrive. The jib is still performing well, and I expect it will go another 10,000 miles.
