There's your proof, Jeff Morris, that multihulls are inherently
unstable. Ask yourself, in the same race, how many monohulls
capsized.

Not unstable, they have great initial stability, thats why they are so
fast. But they also have great initial stability upside down. They do
lousy angles of vanishing stabilty.
