Baseball caps for sailing?

I like wearing baseball caps when not spending long periods in
intense sun (then, it's my big floppy canvas sailing hat, I always
know which way to put it on because the mildew goes on the right)
but the frequency with which they blow off is maddening. It makes
for great MOB practice and I'm proud to say I've never left one
behind. I also have a fair collection from boats I've designed,
Titanic Expeditions, etc.
My constant running and boat maneuvering to retrieve wayward caps
has given me a bit of a complex. I can't recall ever in my life
seeing someone else lose theirs. I've suspected for years that
there might be something strange about the shape of my head and I
suddenly realized that this photo from my recent cruise confirms it.

What do you think? Do I need to retire my collection of caps? Was
there never any hope of my being a professional ball player, aside
from not being able to hit, catch, or run?
If your hats blow off, please let me know, I'll feel much better.
Musto caps don't blow off! The secret is in the strong crocodile
clip and leather lanyard. You just buy the wrong caps Roger.
stuff the overpriced musto rubbish, keep your big floppy canvas hat
but use some string to tie it around your chin (surely there must be
some string on your yacht?)/
Which chin? I have 3.
