Ask other Karl if he thinks he is the best sailor on the water and does he think a better sailor would have stayed upright. Also, ask Other Karl if he was "comfortable" I'm guessing he will choose a different adjective. But I don't doubt your assessment. Other Karl is definitely macho.

Since we have a new cat sailor on the board, one coming from the monohull world, let me just say there are a couple of things you can do in that situation. I go to the beach, lacking that, I bring in the spinnaker and come head to wind. Kudos to those who can sail through that and those who try.
