They typically have cabins, but are designed for racing, excellent low-wind characteristics, large sail plans, and to have decent weight of crew-members to control heeling of the boat under medium winds, and higher.

A sailing vessel heels when the boat leans over to the side in reaction to wind forces on the sails. A sailing vessel's form stability (derived from the shape of the hull and the position of the center of gravity) is the starting point for resisting heeling. Catamarans and iceboats have a wide stance that makes them resistant to heeling.
