If there is a trend towards single handers, do you think there will be more incidents of deaths related to cold water immersions and the inability to right the boats ala Sven Schang? I think the A cats and H14's/Waves should be okay, but what about the F16 class and so forth with a little bigger stick? I personally think most people going single hand are seasoned sailors, but we could have an influx of newbies on sinlge hand boats that may not know the dangers of sailing alone.
