That was a different breed of cat - that was one of the 6 (or 7) class boats that a bunch of owners got together and had built and based on a lake in Switzerland. Bertarelli (of America's Cup fame) owns one as well and the class actually came because he was whooping them all with a 40 footer they couldn't keep up with (either on the water or in the bank). Those cats featured in SW are just for 'club' racing.
