Please bear in mind that the chances of a side to side roll over is very
rare in any multihull but an end over end while skating down the front of
a high, steep wave is where the multihull is more apt to flip over. A
much higher chance than the monohull, either ballasted or not. There's
just not very easy way's to compare the two as they are two completely
different animals.
