About stability and righting moment


There seem to be quite a few people out there who think that twin-keelers are less stable due to their shallower draft. I found this interesting thread on a boatbuilding forum. The discussion is quite technical but the consensus seems to be that twin-keelers are definitely as stable as fin keelers of the same draft and also if they have shallower draft, given the right construction.
