Without water tight or nearly water tight doors on the cuddy, it is virtually impossible for one or two guys to right a daysailer after a capsize.
I agree with Mr. Johnson that a daysailer should not capsize when sailed correctly, but in my opinion that also means not sailing in winds above 25 mph, and having a reefed mainsail in winds above 15 mph. These boats were not designed to be sailed in real high winds, since they have no ballast.
