I disagree. Take an old deep keel and long keel boat like a Westerly

If the long deep keel is keeping it straight into the wind like a
weather vane, then the boat is capsized.

You TRYING to sound dumb, man? The long deep keel causes drag in the
water. It won't let the boat dance around like if it had shallow draft
or the board up. You can't be that dumb, can you?
