That's the reason I"ve mentioned the Telstar and the Dragonfly

Why do you think that they're a bit more safe than a monohull of
comparable capacity?

Besides being immune from sinking? More stable, which means easier on
the crew for long passages.. less chance of injury for the same
reason.

Of course, as Doug points out, no boat or design is perfect.
