Will She Tip Over ?
My wife and I are new to sailing, bought an American 22 that is 3300# and has 900# of ballast in a walk in keel. 225 sg. ft of sail area. The wife really hates heeling, we are only out in 15kts or less wind. Could the boat actually capsize if make a mistake?
P.S. Can't afford a cat just yet.
