How will you improve your resistance to capsizing?

That is the biggest risk, especially on a small single engine boat.

If it can happen to an 80 footer, it can happen to you.

During WWII the Cunard liner Queen Mary was doing a winter Atlantic
crossing. She was in a gale with no big deal thirty to forty footers.
A hundred footer took out the pilothouse windows 93 feet above sea
level, and rolled her to within a degree or two of the point of no
return. Almost disappeared without a trace.
