So far the best boat I've sailed (by far) for anti-pitchpole is my Stealth F16 - T foils really are the dogs bits !

the capricorn is better than the tiger but not as good as the infusion having been sailing the infusion this season i can say it is one of the most well mannered cats i have ever sailed!
lifes to short to sail slow boats!

And how is the Capricorn compared to the Infusion and the Tiger?

Am reliably informed that the infusion is very hard to pitchpole, and certainly is one of the hardest to pitchpole in the current f18 designs

I've never pitchpoled the Tiger, used to go over in my old 17 every now and again, but only when I was doing something stupid, like losing my balance and swinging round the front when the bow digged a bit. If you hold on there with your weight back, 9 times out of 10, the bow will power out and you'll have just lost a bit of speed...

Don't think any pitchpole either, put the bows in a few times.... but there again I don't think there were many of us that didn't!!!!!

sailed Tornados 4yrs - pitchpoles - nil , stuck bows in many time water up to gooseneck but didn't go over , guess my fat git weight at stern drove whole boat under ,

Hurricane 5.9/sx 7 yrs , pitchpoled 3 times , all on tight reach in short chop , ask chillicat he was aboard for one !

Can't go wrong with either both crackin boats .

Hobie 16 and its bannana shaped varient hobies were the worlds best at pitchpoling , Dart not even on scale by comparison , New Hobies different story.

Yes, The Hurricane 5.9 is probably the best "big" boat - better than a Tornado boat for boat on the Anti-pitchpole league.  Not sailed an Infusion so cannot comment. 

Going down the size range, you cannot top a Stealth F16 - T foils are the dogs bits !!!!!
