I was just kidding. I don't have to put a hex on poor little Ellen.

Why?

She's in way over her head and will do herself in by pushing
it too hard. That's what's she's done in the past; that's what
she will do again. You shall see. I am rarely wrong about such
things.

So, did you know that your boom was going to snap when the breeze puffed up
a bit?

A minor thing like a broken boom does not compare to a capsize.

A capsize happens because of bad judgment on behalf the
helmsman while a broken boom happens because of extended
wear and tear on systems that are decades old and in almost
constant use.

In other words, a mechanical failure is entropy expressing itself.
Contrariwise, a capsize on a multi-hull is more often the doing of
an operator expressing his or her poor judgment or skills.

You're usually wrong about most things...
