A new hobie design, by P.Stark. Weird to say the least, with a circular trampoline... Presented at the French "Nautic", here is a scan of the brochure.

To preempt Wouter I must say that at 5m long and 2.4m wide, it's definitely a F16 smile

what is the little propeller thingie(majiger) under the mast? It actually looks more like a missile or fuel tank.. Is this a military vessel?

From the pamphlet:
Integrated mast raising system.
Integrated auxiliary electric motor.
Roller furling unirig main sail.
New rudder system.
Seat backs on trampoline.
Fun boat (not race oriented)

There is an optional electric engine, yes.

And a ring ladder to climb back on board.

The system to raise the mast is different...

I like the beach wheels you can keep on the boat when you sail away: really nice for cruising around...

Is that a tow-hitch that locks the mast onto the "mainbeam" and also to the towing vehicle ?

Boring Video. Uninteresting pictures.

Hobie Europe marketing could do better...

Does that tramp have a "sit and spin feature"?

that would be nice.. just rotate around and now YOUR crew... or.. now the wind is at your back and you have a nice "Stern View".
