Bre capsize

[mark1]

ahoy salty dogs.
probably due to my own ineptitude I haven't been able to find anything about the bayraider expedition capsizing (and righting hopefully).
lots on the br20, have the tests been done with the cuddy too?

Thanfully, unless anyone can correct me, I am not aware of anyone having practical experience with a BRe capsize. The BRe shares the BR20's inherently stable hull and I feel (hopefully justifiably) that I would have to be pushing the boat very hard and/or unlucky to capsize. The cabin should help the ability to right from a knock down and hence I always ensure the washboards are fitted when sailing on lumpy seas. When I bought my BRe, which was one of the first, Matt (at SwallowBoats) mentioned he was doing a capsize test as part (I think) of the RCD certification. So this is probably a question for Matt...

Thanks Jonathan, that all makes sense. it'd be reassuring to see it, or do it.. hopefully I'm not stitching myself up for a bre capsize test here....
