Everyone is saying it. I really am interested in reading more about the capsize and sinking and/or not righting. I don't disagree that is is very possible with the j/24. I'm just interested in learning about what went wrong so can help avoid it in the future.

I went on a race a couple of weeks back and saw a very fast cat (can't name what it was, but was around 36') break apart in safe waters. I'm curious about what the fatal flaw was, but haven't heard back yet. In general, I'm curious!
