It should be structurally safe to allow the boat to stand on the keels since
that is the reason for having 2 keels in the first place. Beyond that, I
don't
know of any advantage to the design. We have a couple of them in the
marina here that have been setting up on the hard for years. That might
give some insight to how they sail

For my benefit - what are the advantages and disadvantages of a twin
keeler
vs a single keel? I know the fact that you can stand them on their keels -
is this structurally safe for instance for a long period ie when
antifouling? I have heard that they heal less on the wind - is that right?
They can be slower too - maybe a good family yacht?

Thanks
