I'm not concerned because I sail a monohull. Multihulls have two stable states, upright
and upside down, whereas most monohulls have only one stable state, upright. The
monohull has a heavy keel suspended like a pendlum, so when knocked down or over,
the natural stable state is for the boat to right itself.

I don't think the 5500 lb. weight of this 36 foot boat would not do much to prevent it flipping
when it is sideways to a huge wave, or caught with too much sail up in a strong gust.
It probably takes more force to flip this boat because of the longer moment arm, but once
it reaches a certain point, it will go over and stay there.

All that being said, I think this is a great boat for close offshore cruising, especially in shallow

places like Florida Bay or the Bahamian banks. I just wouldn't feel safe taking it across the
ocean or even riding out a gale in it.

I think you don't have to be concerned about this boat's
ballast :-)
