capsizes mean that you are pushing it to the limit or you are not very good

If you sail a properly silly boat the sailing is so much fun that you do not mind and the capsizes are entertaining themselves
If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right

I would say get a realy good wet suit and just go for it. I had only trapized five or six times before I started crewing an Int14 in the middle of winter and it certainly sharpned up my wiring skills quickly.
