I assume that would result in a high speed pitchpole, and lots of damage (dangerous to people too).

I bought my first boat for speed, but more importantly to engage my kids in sailing. At the time prior to buying my first trimaran they were involved in a summer daysailing and kayaking program, and there were a few Corsair tris moored in that harbor. We owned a Hunter 17 and a 13 foot Whaler. They said "you've got to see these cool trimarans, Dad". So we went to look at them in the Whaler.

The Hunter 17 was too small as a family boat, and I wanted to have a boat my kids would want to join us on as a family activity, daysailing. So in essence they made the choice and I started looking at Corsairs. The Dragonfly 920 was similar in size to the F31 and was the smallest size with an enclosed head (the Admiral's one requirement, being the female in the family with two pre-teen sons). We thought it was our best choice at the time and it was kid-approved. We didn't have vacation cruising in mind at the time, that came later and we upsized twice.

Trimaran sailing is addictive. Just ask Tom. It's tough to go back to mono sailing after getting used to the near-level comfort and sailing performance of a tri.
