"We are determined to go back and get this capsize thing timed a bit better -- More like what we would do on a J24 ... walk out on the dagger board and pop the mast right back up"

Sea Bird really does fly up over 18 kts when trimmed right in decent wind and ~2 ft waves.

Note to Bill ... the dagger board has a harmonic ~16 kts ala new J30 rudder at 6. will need to be tuned, but it is more like a cat purr.
