The boat looks to be stable when it’s upside down.

IMHO that is the main flaw with all multihulls.

You don't see many multihulls attempting solo circumnavigation. When they pitchpole, they cannot be righted by one person, and they will pitchpole in heavy seas, e.g., the roaring forties between Antarctica and the southern tips of S. America and Africa.
