Arto,
True, as the windward hull suffers from l/b issues if it is too heavy. But I don't think there is an "optimum" weight distribution ratio. It is more to do with what the hulls are designed to take and, as you say, the righting moment required.

The comment of optimum weight distribution was meant only for the context of cruising oriented harryproas which have shorter and fatter ww hull. Of course if you change parameters many other things change too.
