Multi vs Mono

My wife and I will be purchasing a yacht in the 30 to 35'' range and since we have a little one (and another on the way) the space that a multihull has in that size range looks mighty attractive. We plan to eventually circumnavigate, after year or two (or ten) cruising the coast, when our skills are honed. Two questions: 1)Are there cats out there with the juice to cross an ocean (fair weather or foul) in the size range that we''re considering. 2) Whats better, initial stability that a 2hull gives or the righting capability of a mono.

Keep in mind I of course never intend to capsize, regardless of the craft we purchase. ;-)
