Isn't Hans a kick! It looks like something out of the Jetsons! I bet it would perform very well for it's designed purpose!

It looks PERFECT for the BVI....
I'd rent one. Rigged for sailing.

The sailing versions have been built. The "La Hina Ma" (I think I spelled it right) sailing charter boat is a G-Force 36 Sport Cruiser based out of the Seafood Shack marina in Cortez, FL. The owner previously used a Stiletto 30 which he said was constantly breaking down, while th G-Force holds up much better. There was also a Salon Cruiser built. I don't think any power-boat versions were made. Also built and recently up for sale (can't remember where I saw it) was a 40'(?) Trimaran using G-Force 36 hulls as amas.

The sailing versions have center-board style rudders.
