I'm not sure but in may have been Childers' 'The Riddle of the Sands'
where I read about the boats having twin keels so they would sit level
when the tide went out.  They play it differently on the Maine coast. If
you need to apply bottom paint or do other hull work, you find a
convenient sand flat, wait for the tide to do out, and careen the boat
over. Easily done since the tidal range is about 20' up towards Canada.
