I'm not sure about that. There were about 400-500 of my boat manufactured with an excellent safety record. The same could be said for other British Cats .. ie.. Heavenly Twin and Prout. The only Prouts that 'triped' were modified for racing with a much taller mast. I think there were 2. Granted these are older, and heavier designs, all of which have circumnavigated. I don't believe I've read about any dagger/centerboard cat that has.
As for the last Gemini article, I read it in Florida Today, a Florida daily paper. There were two articles on it. The first reporting what happened and the 2nd giving more details about the rescue and the boat, which washed up on a Jacksonville beach.
If it sounds like I'm picking on Gemini's, I'm not. This is a discussion about boats with boards!!
