Can it be capsized or pitchpoled?

0

Well only three or four have been capsized so far and that is out of 450 boats sold and 5 years of sailing them so that is a pretty good safety record. Most of the people who capsized were not showing enough respect for the elements. one of them was sending a tex message to his wife. And they all, without exception had the main sheet cleated off when they should have been holding it in the hand so that they could let go in a gust if necesary. If you cannot hold the main sheet in the hand then you probably have too much canvas up. There is challenge for somebody! Interestingly the factory demonstrator has never felt the need to take a reef. And yet even in weather in which you would not normally go out sailing he felt no risk of capsize or pitchpoling. Nobody has ever pitch-poled a Magnum 21. There is a challenge for somebody! Having the floats set back from the bow of the principle hull means that the substantial volume of the main hull will enter a wave first of all and lift the bow u
