I can see no particular merit in round bottoms, retractable rudders and boards with regard to "safety" than any other of the huge range of options.

In terms of safety is is useful to identify the risk factors and then address them.  Sinking is the top of my list.

What is the safest HP design in these conditions? I would venture this design would feature round bottom hulls and retractable rudders & boards. Would water balast be a factor in general? Clearance of the beam? What would be musts and what just nice to have?
Thank you.
