Default cap-sizing???

Hows it going guys

Finally over the 2 week holidays Ive had I just got the time to take my northwind for a sail.

My Wind meter said that it was 12-15 knots gusting to 18, I really didn't want to take her out, but
I just had to.
So anyways of i go, Launch her in the water. First big guest and it rounds up and nearly cap-sizes.
Also I was on a shye (yeah i know, No spinnaker) and the tip of the boom was in the water, And it
was nose diving like hell.
But it was a hell Lotta fun. Also i gained more trust in my boat and learned its boundary's (more than i thought)

So here my question- Can you cap-size these things, Or do they just round up.

Sorry got no pic's[:@]
