I ran into Rafi and Heidi Francke the other day, hard at work doing some concept/design testing. They were testing the concept of twin rigs, on a SC20.

Their web site shows their concept of a 35' cat that folds (on the water) down to 8.5 foot width.

Gary,

Did their SC20 have their folding system?

There was a guy doing that down here a few years back, he had full real masts (not windsurfer) I think that it ended in a total failure of the structure and a tow back to shore but lookid like fun in the mean time.
