Now, after researching a little more, and being verbally chastised by the TARS people (heh) I am coming to the realization that the standing lug is a better choice, as it was said, for practicality.
As for sailing to windward, wouldn't a shallower keel and leeboards have some help, considering the D&G could not feasably have a centerboard? The shallower keel would also improve speed with the wind, would it not?
just a few thoughts..
