"I know that fin keels don't heave to as well as full keel boats. If you can't rest for a while during heavy weather because you are short handed that could be a big problem."
That simply is not true as a blanket statement. It was true at one time and it is true that some fin keels can't hove to as easily as some full keeled boats, but today a well designed fin keel boat can heave to just as well as a full keeled boat and may actually make less leeway which is why you see more and more fin keels on dedicated offshore boats.
