Hi all,

If I recall correctly, Peter Sever  (sp), the creator of Cape Horn trawlers
used to boast that Cape Horns could  easily survive being rolled as they were
designed to quickly right themselves.  He further stated the doors and windows
were of sufficient strength that  they would survive intact. To the best of my
knowledge, this was never  "tested" in a real life cruising situation.
