In this video, you will see footage of a storm in New Zealand showing another large sailing yacht that is shown drastically heeling over and then rights itself back up. It had a fixed keel. There is also mention of a catamaran that was flipped over. Catamarans do not have a traditional keel like a monohull would have.

The builder of the Bayesian said the vessel was "unsinkable" because it had several water tight compartments, which is an absurd thing to say, hmmm, I can remember someone else claiming their vessel was "unsinkable" and we all know how that turned out.
