Someone in the comments said it best, it's a very cool canal boat but nothing that light would stand-up to open ocean waves.
This specific design maybe not, but similar light plywood-epoxy catamarans based on designs by James Wharram are well regarded and proven open-ocean sailboats.
its ok for coastal mediteranean too. He did use it through canals of northern europe to get down to spain.
That's actually impressive.
He gets into this in the later videos but he's living aboard it quite a while now in the Mediterranean.
Meh, do you know the level of tech that spread mankind across the world. Roughly logs. OP is likely fine.
It could work in nice weather in the Mediterranean or some other more calm seas
