Default Unconditionally stable sailboats

My, my, my but the things one can learn on a usenet group. Just
recently I learned that cruising catamaran sailboats are
unconditionally stable, that is stable under any and all
conditions.


Unfortunately, the unconditionally stable position is with the
mast pointed down.


Monohulls are unconditionally stable when sitting on the bottom.


Why does it usually seem that this subject is argued on an "either/or"
basis.
There are advantages to either approach. Is this really surprising to
anyone here?
