Capsizing

It’s been mentioned in another post, but I feel like this should have it’s own ticket.
Having boat capsizing would be an interesting feature and would make maneuvering more challenging overall.
This could be implemented as an option for training (so beginners don’t get too frustrated at first) and disabled in the standard race, but be made mandatory on pro, dinghy and waszp races (and any other specialty boats to come).
That would make for a more realistic boat behaviour, and could also have new sailors get used to proper techniques if they wish to actually do sailing on actual water.

In the lead up to capsizing, is the experience of scary (or fun) high heel angles.. Could have 'auto crew' to scramble from side to side to balance weight. Without giving the command to switch sides at the correct time, would be an uncoordinated gybe and over you might go!

On that note, on a boat with a raised daggerboard, if it is high enough to catch the boom, that should potentially lead to a capsize.
