Not really, the sailboats had nothing to take tbe brunt of the waves like the trawler's cabin, plus no windows to punch out, plus a better righting moment even with water in them.
They also seemed to roll with the punched instead of fighting tbem...most powerboats just seem more at odds with nasty seas...
All my sailboats from 19 to 30 feet seemed much better sea boats than my Albin.
