Reed gave these ships a superstructure to increase seaworthiness and raise the freeboard of the gun turrets so they could be worked in all weathers.

Safety Multihulls feature greater seaworthiness vs monohulls with the same displacement.

The purpose of the voyage was to test and document the seaworthiness, speed, and manoeuvrability of the ship on the rough open sea and in coastal waters with treacherous currents.

They are more expensive than inflatable kayaks, but have the advantage of greater stiffness and consequently better seaworthiness.
