They have canting keels and a 4.5m draft. The canting keel is supposed to aid in righting the boat should it capsize by moving the weight to one side and using the momentum of the skipper to bring the boat back up. Derek Hadfield on Spirit of Canada had to do and actual rollover and bring the boat back up to abide by the race rules. I'm assuming without the bulb, Jean Le Cam could not right his boat.
