You might consider one Rob, can you imagine a winged boat is a similar
situation?

If you go aground in a twin keeler you will have a job getting off unless
you can wait for incoming tide. You cannot heel them to reduce draft.

Not falling over when the tide goes out.

Same problem with a wing keel.

Yep, but you won't lay over and risk sinking as the tide goes out.

Depends on how flat & level the bottom is, doesn't it?

No, but you can un-heel them to reduce draft. If you are sailing heeled
and run aground, the single keel will want to dig deeper. With the twin
keel, on the other hand, draft is lessened as the boat rights itself,
perhaps, by enough to free itself.

Have you ever sailed one?

No. I was interested in the concept, the shallow draft particularly, but
after some reading on them realized the disadvantages seem to outweigh
the advantages.
