He CAN'T know how to sail! I've sailed my AMF Apollo (a completely UN-ballasted boat) on Lake Erie in 2-3 foot waves and 15 knots or so, AND A FEW WHITECAPS, yeah it was a little scary, but I didn't capsize. BUT.. I knew how to right it if I did. Even when I have capsized, it was usually because of my own inexperience with the boat. Sailed properly, it is an amizingly fast, fun boat, as I am sure the P185 is.
