You guys have it all wrong, click on Wouter's link, scroll down to the video clip. it's a great idea, but here's what it realy needs: Toss the skinny little Amas and hook it up with some F16 hulls, then replace that tiny stick, again, put a F16 wing mast and sails on it, now add some tramps on the Akas, and you have a real 16 foot trimaran!
In it's present configuration it would be terribly slow in anything under 25 knots of wind, and then too wet as you would be pushing those tiny amas under all the time. But I like the concept, it just needs to be pimp'd. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I think this thing has enormous potential. Perhaps not this particular model. But. . . think ice boat.
