Secondly, stabilizers. It would appear with a boat with a Flying Bridge not only would a stabilizer make for a comfortable ride, but in bad weather could even be essential for the stability and safety of the vessel. Anyone experience a stabilizer failure at sea?

Note that stabilizers don't directly improve the safety of the boat. While they make it more stable, that is only for crew comfort, ease of movement around the boat, etc - they don't reduce the risk of capsize. However, if crew fatigue could reach extreme with constant rolling, then you might consider them and indirect safety feature.
