I can count the number of times I had the back beam slap on the Capricorn over four years on two hands.
I'm sailing in a bay of the most western/southern part of the Baltic Sea. If we have easterly and strong winds, the fetch is several 100 miles long resulting in steep, high waves. On a downwind leg of usual distance I have a slap 2 to 3 times. I wouldn't ask if this wasn't a subject ....
