capsizers
Those who overturn
Capsizers are boats, vessels, or people that capsize—that is, overturn or cause to overturn in water.
The term most often appears in sailing and boating contexts, where certain hull designs or conditions make some craft notorious capsizers.
Those little dinghies are easy capsizers in choppy water.
A person who causes a boat to flip can also be called a capsizer, though this usage is less common.
