I'd entirely agree that to survive 'The Perfect Storm' you need a boat of medium/heavy displacement. However, let's take a reality check here most of us don't go more than 30 miles from shore and don't need the kit we drive. Very few of us drive Landrovers because we need the capability of driving out of a bog. Similarly, most of us choose our days to sail and avoid just those evil conditions that would cause trouble. I love my Rival 38 but would galdly swap it for a modern lightweight design when once again we are making our pedestrian way downwind.
