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...

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 |

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