any storm that would capsize a cruising cat. Perhaps you are underestimating to ability of a fool to do the wrong thing at the wrong time. All the big ships will capsize, and not come back. The self righting vessels are actually rare. During a wartime crossing the Queen Mary came within a degree or so of going over. Wave took out the wheelhouse windows, ninety feet above sea level. Nothing except a submarine is immune to big waves. Of course, those things routinely recover from sinking. I heard that ten thousand shipping containers are lost, during storms, every year. Hit one of those with many small craft, and you may not be concerned with capsizing. Casady |
