A Grand Banks dory is seaworthy. Doesn't mean I want to cross the ocean in one.
Rule of thumb is a wave half the length of your boat can roll it over. Other than that, seaworthiness is directly proportional to your experience.

You could be out in a nice sunny 80* day, decide to enter inlet on an ebb tide, and end up in a broach. It's not the boat, it's the captain.
