Mary, I remember you saying something incredible like "we sailed for 15 years without a capsize". Most people I know, including myself, cleat their mainsheets on nearly all points of sail and capsize more like 15 times a year! I certainly have a tendency to capsize (but I'm still blaming that on my boat name "Flippen Fearless" ). Several of those were definitely because, for whatever reason, I couldn't get the mainsheet released in time. Then again, on that 6.0 with only 7:1 in any kind of stiff breeze is pretty darn tough to hang on to.
