Hello:
was hoping someone had some ideas on the maximum heel of a P14 before =
capsizing is likely. I have often heard that 10 degrees of heel is best =
for performance, but nothing about at what point is too much. I imagine =
that there are many variables to take into account with this question =
that I'm not aware of. (I'm not even really sure why a sailboat =
sails...) When I sail my Potter close hauled, I always get scared at =
around 15 degrees of heel and try to fall off. Am I being overly =
cautious? I have sailed a number of rounded bottomed boats that never =
seem to go over (barring a wave and a gust) but I'm not familar with the =
more flat bottomed Potter. I love to hear any "heeling" stories.
Thanks
Doug
