drying-out legs

dear all,
if I want to dry out do I need drying-out legs if I want to sleep in the boat during low-tide? or will the boat stay flat because of the keel?

Re: drying-out legs

You will need supports under the bilge fins. The main keel is not wide enough and the bilge fins aren't low enough to keep a SeaHawk upright.

There are a number of photos of boats that show how much she is likely to heel when dried out in boats seen on the North Norfolk coast at:
