On their web site, in the technical  section
(http://pdqyachts.com/power/34technical.htm) PDQ claims that, to  meet CE Regulations for both Class A (Ocean)
and Class B (Offshore)  requirements, they've done hydrostatic stability
analyses which show  that the Powercat 34 has positive stability up to a heal
angle of 72.4  degrees.  (The graphs are available for inspection.)  I'm sure, to
some extent, this is good salesmanship, but I have not seen anything
comparable on other manufacture's web sites.
