JimQ, If I read this correctly
My capsize ratio is 1.73 the screening stability value is 18.69 and the angle of vanishing stability is 156 So I guess that she is going to be hard to knock down and will come back up on her feet is she does go down.

OK - if you say so.
I thought the information was interesting, but way over my old head to fathom. If it's blowing stink (anything over 20 knots) on my 33 year old boat we put in the lower hatch boards, hoist a 110 jib, and throw a single reef into the main. I'm not interested in trusting a theory that says - "yeppers, you're going to pop right back up after you get knocked down". Read where it goes on about a 40 ft. boat not being able to withstand 20 ft. waves? Sounds very similar to that 41 footer Free Spirit that was lost with all hands last week off the coast of Halifax while underway to Europe.
