Can my boat capsize? How can I prevent that?
2004-09-12

Any boat can capsize. Potters are not any more susceptible than any comparable boat, but the fact that they tend to heel very little can instill some false confidence in a new owner.
Wind alone probably won't do it: Potters tend to heel sharply and turn into the wind when overpowered, then come upright with the sails flapping. In the known cases where a boat was capsized, some other factors were involved, usually involving poor sail handling, poor load balance, or similar operator error.
