As long as she won't fill and sink at a particular level of heel when sailing, she won't fill and sink at the same level of heel when aground.

Of course Twister owners tend to sail in conditions that see many other boat owners running for cover.
I've been in a crowded Solent sailing in the morning when a 5 or 6 has been forecast for the afternoon. In the afternoon I could see a handful of boats only when conditions got boisterous and fun.
Why is that?
I also sailed single handed back from Weymouth to the solent in a 6+ when the Weymouth sailing club cancelled their days sailing. Why's that?
With a couple of reefs and a small foresail it was exciting and safe.
