I had a Capri 13.2. It was impossible for one man to get back over if
you
turtled it. This was a concern for me because I sail in very cold water.
I
considered putting a Hobie float on top of the mast. The 16.5 may have a
similar problem

You must be particularly inept!


Even worse - generally inept. I even considered air bags that would
deploy
when capsized. I am banned (5 years) from sailing on certain lakes.
Someday
I'll tell the story of how I emptied an entire swim beach. I thought it
was
odd that bouys were following me.


Heh heh, I have a pic here of a mates race Tri.
Absolutely flat out with a monster kite flying and only about 5 metres
off the beach ( a sand bar) people are running up the beach away from
the boat. Looks like one of those pics of the tsunami.


But he never went up the beach and into the parking lot did he?

The local constabulary was quite confused on whether it was a boating or
traffic incident.

Well, given the lax liquor laws and loose morals of your state, I
imagine that's the norm.

I think it's because of this:

Huh, you're state is overeducated and too fit? Does your local constable
have a university degree and participate in triathalons for fun?
