Seaworthyness test

Small Craft Advisor has launched an online seaworthyness test for small boats. While it may not be the ultimate scientific proof of one boat's or another's capability to endure heavy weather it does give some indication of what is good or bad as far as seaworthyness is concerned. The test is here, and some more information about seaworthyness is here. And yes, the test does explicitly list a twin-keel option, even if it is combined with shallow keels - something that may very well be debated as twin-keels do have some advantages over them, especially when it comes to righting moments and stability.
