  I'd imagine the long-winded explanation of the same comment would be that, since harryproas are such lightweight vessels compared to their long waterlines, with much of the weight in the center, that they pitch a heck of a lot less than most other craft.  Having the waterline of an Open 40 cat, but half the weight, has got to help pitching due to inertia.

That would be a major technical breakthrough, as all other known surface vessels without active pitch stabilisation will pitch to some extent. Do you have evidence to support this claim?
