Capsize Prevention

On my Traveler 32' the righting moment was 165 degrees, meaning if the boat completely capsized, it would recover on its own once the hull rotated 16 degrees from exactly upside down. Like when the next wave pushed the boat sideways and the resistance offered by the rig caused the hull to rotate on it's long axis. Once the mast of a monohull gets rotated past horizontal, i.e. well into the water, it usually breaks. |
