I never really have any trouble capsizing except going down wind when I pitchpole. I've learned to make sure my crew knows to hang on when I start to bury a hull, I almost always turn out of it, is this poor form? I don't see much of an option if you are sheeted out already. Probably wouldn't be a good idea coming up on a mark in a pack of other boats. As far as heavy air goes, once I got used to sailing in heavier winds 10kts tend to get boring.
