On the HR website, their documentation cites water leakage as the justification. I realize they know what they're doing and HR is well-regarded for cruising sailboats, but I'm wondering if there is further rationale or if anyone who has cruised extensively has comments on this aspect of HRs. The guy on Sailing Zingaro at least says keel-step is a requirement for him (though he also recs HRs elsewhere so idk), and my gestalt understanding is that keel-step is preferable for strength and durability, so I'm wondering if people experienced with HR or who have considered this in their criteria for a cruising boat have put more thought into this. Interested in any thoughts / experiences with this question.

Been seeing them for years driving over the Ross Island Bridge — finally went down, took photos, talked to the sailors, and wrote a short piece for The Oregonian. Turns out, anyone can do it. Some race every week without even owning a boat or paying a dime. Pretty awesome.
