Most of you will know the feeling. You're in a moderate beam sea and a big wave comes along. The boat leans over alarmingly and you start thinking 'f**k I wonder how far this boat can lean over before it goes all the way'?
Our scuttlebutting friends are having a lively slanging match about the stability of a US built Legend sailboat which, in case you didnt know, enjoys an image something like a Bayliner
So how far can the average motor boat lean over before it capsizes? Are sports boats better than flybridge boats in this respect? Is a round bilged Nelson type hull better than yer average planing hull? What difference does speed make? What about if both engines fail and your dead in the water?
Does anyone know of any incedents where modern motorboats have capsized?
