I agree with you Mary. My wife and I sailed/raced casually for 10 or so years on my TheMightyHobie18 and never once did I capsize it with her on the boat so it can be done. Sure an argument can be made for not pushing hard enough but we pushed as hard as we could. I knew the limits of my boat and kept it under that. It made for a much happier and returning crew. Of course my incintive was that a threat on other things I like was laid out in the event I did capsize . BTW over the years we have accumulated our share of trophies, just enough to keep it interesting.

Of course now with a Stiletto 27 there is another incentive to keep it upright.

Keep the pointed side up!
