New Boat Design - Gyroscopic Catamaran

This design is a basic model that illustrates a boat concept I thought up. The main weakness of a catamaran is that it is doomed if it flips. By having an identical surface on top and bottom of the pontoons, and a central hull that is gyroscopically suspended on rollers above the water, this boat can flip without capsizing. This also cancels the side to side rocking of the boat in waves, and this motion could even be used to generate electricity. The sails are rigid wind structures.
