When under sail they would have the keel down. While at anchor having the keel down would very much alter how much the boat heeled over. I'm thinking some door or hatch or other opening(s) leading to below decks got under water when the boat heeled over. Of course I don't know for sure but I'm interested to find out. I sailed on a "large" 50' sail boat for a good number of years. We got heeled over close to 90 a few times.
