[quote=NeubaurRL][quote]So when is a capsize most likely.. upwind or on a reach. There's always turning upwind too to offset tipping pending how far the rudder is out of the water...[/quote]
I sail my h18m solo most of the time on inland lakes with gusty conditions and personally turn upwind when getting overpowered by a gust...have found out that I can change the angle of the sail quicker that way than letting out the sail and unless you are already going over you have a least one rudder in the water which all you need
[quote]Running is not really desired... zig zag to reaches is prefered in any sailboat unless I suppose if you have a spin up.[/quote]
Especially with spin up you zig zag because of the apparent wind a beach cat can create. If you sail straight downwind you are going slightly slower than actual wind due to boat drag.[/quote]
