I thought the USCG requirements for small boats require enough flotation to keep a swamped/holed boat afloat and stable to a certain level. It appears that if both hulls were breached, this boat could sink completely, or at least deep enough to persuade sailors to abandon. What are the USCG specs? Does the Jav 2 meet them somehow? This reminds of the situation that ended up in a major lawsuit for NACRA...
