The boat capsized with the keel and keel bulb attached and was unable to right itself despite having a canting keel. Primarily because of the large deck area creating a very wide stable form this led to the coachroof enlarging and moor camber on the deck to make the boats less stable upside down and the introduction of the righting test.
