Yes it is. If the outer (lowermost) hull is penetrated, water is still
retained wihin the water ballast cavity located above the lower hull for
most of the length of the boat and is prevented from entering the cabin.

Also, if both hulls are penetrated, the boat remains afloat due to the
built-in foam floatation.
