I'm a Cap owner. In the NAs in Illinois last month, I pitched twice, once on Tuesday and once on Friday. Both times it was as we turned down at the clearing mark - once as the chute was coming up, and once just after it filled and was sheeted in prepration for a gybe. Conditions were choppy and gusty 20s in both cases. I know that every other model boat flipped in the same races, including both Nacras and Tigers. In our flips, it was over in an instant - maybe could have saved it on a Nacra 20. Both times, I was at or near the front beam for the set - weight too far forward for an aggressive turn down, but the skipper is a 20-driver who was on the Cap for the first time. He really missed those N20 bows. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

In any case - my experience so far is that the boat is no more prone to flipping than anything else I have ever been on, including the Infusion. To be fair, I have not been on an Infusion in the conditions described above, but very experienced sailors that had the new boat took a swim with me last month, so...

I'd be interested in seeing the "test" you describe. Can you post it here or post a link? I'd like to see if it is authentic or pure bunk or something in between. Anyone that was selling a boat in Illinois last month can tell you what my advice was on the beach - unless you have a three or four year old boat you'd normally be selling anyway, you should keep what you have and focus on sailing better, not hopscotch to the latest greatest. Look at Woody Cope - he had the first gen Nacra, end pole snuffer and the oldest set of sails on the course (4+ years on the jib and main?) and he was smoking everybody but the pros at one time or another. Does that mean we should all go to blown out dacron jibs? Or maybe he's paid some dues and makes good decisions, even when he's sailing out of class. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
