Well... Any boat with a weighted keel shoukd de-turtle itself, but chances are that your rig won't de turtle along with the boat. 
Lasers are the must fun to pitch pole. Especially when it's blowing gusts to 25 and there is 300 people on the lawn of castle hill that are about to call the coast guard, then you wave to them and do it again.

I raced International 110's out of Scituate in my youth, knocked down a number of times, but thankfully never came close to end over end. Great boat after a hurricane and a good stiff breeze, it's a 24 foot surfboard, hold on and hope you can control it enough to not be bailing for 4 hours.

Some of my most vivid memories to this day are out on the trapeze, sailing solo on a moonlight summer night between Scituate Harbor and the north river or Minot light depending on the wind direction. I actually bought a 2nd one and restored it after college and sold it after my first was born, no time to get out much after that.
