Sailboats carry/house people closer to the water/center-of-gravity than recreational "trawlers." Thus, relative movement will be greater in a trawler. Still, most sail and power boats are designed for coastal (run to harbor when bad weather is coming) and inland/protected waters. Trawlers with small windows and the ability to shed water are better when facing open-ocean fury.



The Coot is coastal, the above is ocean-going.
