Glenn,
Sorry, novice here. I've started to sail on inland waters and have been out in 35 mph gusts with an H260, great time and boat. I haven't been able to find a straight direct answer to some concerns. Is it likely that a H260 can suffer a knock down with a full or reefed main with a gust of 30 mph max. and if so could it turtle, or will it always self right itself. Also does the H260 have positive floatation, since I don't see foam etc. inside.
PS. Why would the H260 have been designed with a 8"11" beam and touted as easily trailerable when all highways in N.America have a maximum vehicle width of 8'6" max. unless a special permit is aquiried. Just makes it more difficult to trailer legally.
... just some stress related thoughts.
