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?
