FLIP
Pillars and floats are pretty stable, compared to regular boats. This research vessel, called FLIP, purposefully capsizes itself to be more steady when conducting research.

I must say, I do like the look of your FLIP.
Let’s set one up on Lake Whitney, perhaps in tandem with an LCS?
I worked with FLIP a few times. Everything on it ‘flips’ too. Two sets of bunks, two sets of hardware in the heads, etc. and the same in the mess. Has to be towed out by a Navy Tug. Oh, and it was built for ONE test in the mid-70s, and has celebrated its 50th year of operations.
Thanks Old NFO – a maritime success story!
