See Sail mag stability issue
One or two years ago Sail (or was it Cruising World?) ran at least 2 articles in back to back issues on sailboat stability ratings, and how to calculate your margins. It also clearly showed that most displacement hull boats will have a righting moment that goes to zero and then becomes negative as the boat continues to heel, for whatever reason, well before it reaches 90 degrees--horizontal mast. This means that it WILL capsize given enough of an angle. I ran the numbers for the 356 and it is sort of average, and not bad at all, though there are many older boats with full keels and larger ratios of keel-to-total displacement that are much better. However is is clear that it will continue to heel and capsize when heeled more than about 70 degrees from vertical, even with completely dry sails. The best advice is to monitor the weather channels closely and be prudent--don't go out when very dirty weather is forecast or even likely, unless you are a masochist. If you get caught out in unforecast nightmare conditions put out a sea achor, batten down, and pray.Ivan BekeyH356 Victoria
