Hi Kevin

Looks much like some of the earlier Proa designs ,-

Some singlehanded across the Atlantic in Ostar races ,
check some of the multihull design books on the Ostar races in earlier decades of multihull design development

Singlehanded across the Atlantic -
-Some really good Newic Tris --huge monohulls -sailed by one ,--
and some of the first really large cat designs,-predicessors of the round the globe current racers ,-- along with a proa or two in the early days of the race.

more recent-{hi tech } version proas are attempting the sailing speed records

Looks like fun , sail both directions ? just reverse your bow and stern to tack ,-it would take some getting used to .
