Just a guess, but, the main hull looks like the 470 I used to race before I learned about catamarans. But a few things have been added, like expanded **** and something that overlays the foredeck and supports the mast. The amas look like Nacra 450 or 4.5 hulls. It doesn't look like a production boat, just one put together from pieces from the two boats mentioned. I would expect that the rig and sail come from the Nacra.

The combination would provide a boat even my wife would enjoy going out on. It looks more comfortable than the catamaran by having seating in the **** and some protection from spray. It would sacrafice some performance due to added weight. Both would be "good" things from her perspective. It doesn't look like set-up and take down would be as good as a cat, but it might make a fun boat for those that have "mast up" storage.
