Self-righting
I think most manufacturers can tell you if their boat is self-righting. I grew up sailing a San Juan 21 and the manufacturer said it was self-righting. After sailing the boat for years, I had a sudden squall hit me once while I was beating into the wind. The boat went over, the sails hit the water, and in a fraction of a second, the boat popped right up. After experiencing this, I always felt alot safer sailing the boat in heavy winds. I think for most people this should be a rare event. It happened only once in my 20+ years sailing the boat. The time it happened, my single crew member was inexperienced, and he didn''t let the jib sheet go quickly enough. Good Luck. Rob
