The question is how much will it take to capsize the boat on dry ground?

Obviously the answer to that depends on a lot of different factors but
I've never heard of any issues unless winds were above 40 to 50 kts.

I do not know if this is entirely true, but some Marina in the US to not
allow boats to be stored with their mast up?

That is most definitely true. One of my old salboat marinas would
only allow it on the concrete portion of their yard. Others, not at
all.

Also some insurance companies may want an extra premium?

Possible but I have not experienced that.

Some marinas require mast down only because they have to go under
lines when moving from the lift point to the storage point!
