Okay, so that is a new idea, could something like this be used to get younger people who don't have room for a full cat into sailing. I mean, I am sure that you loose some performance but it looks like it could be fast and fun.
Thats the intention, we have been developing it over the last 3 years, every year we say we will be ready to sell next year!
You are right in that you do lose some perfromance in the mid speed range (4-8 knots) due to increased wave drag, but we are working on that. One of the major benifits is the massivly increased for and aft (pitchpoll) stability, as you have so much volume in the corners. You can sit on the bows sailing downwind. So it makes it a very safe family boat.
