You would be very very surprised just how much damage a typhoon can take, they have not only a double hull but also two pressure hulls side by side that can be independently locked out and water tight it could stand the damage and in fact was built to take direct hits this is what a lot of people dont realise The typhoon is built to take that punishment and has a reserve buoyancy of nearly 45% (where as the 688i has around 11%)
