Crashes would result in 20 secs of interest, and 20 years of backtalk about how dangerous, unseaworthy, prone to breakage etc. multihulls are. Not good.

These boats will probably have some monster winches, so they will need at least some of the crew on the grinders. Even if they use hydraulics someone will have to pump the pressure up. Will probably have wheels instead of tillers as well, so helmsman also sits in. Trapeezes would probably be a disadvantage all over for boats of this size. Slower manouvering, higher risk for messing up etc etc.


Good point on the winches - this is why, if catamarans, they will likely have center pods (moderate air). I disagree on the wheel issue - tillers are all the rage for multihulls and/or match racing boats no matter how large.
