These are the new Ventilo M2 28 footers.

Check out the HP of the class
http://www.am2.org/

I saw the same pictures on the swedish multihull site
http://www.multihulls.org/

Are there any of those Ventilos sailing there?

Thanks Andi.

I dont there are any M2's in scandinavia, the webmaster probably just liked the boats.

Too bad the site is in french(?), but lots of nice photos there. They sure dont need much wind to fly a hull..

Looks like they are using a quite interesting method of
furling and storing their spinnaker. Does anybody have experience with that type of system ?

It is actally a Gennaker or Number 1 sail. The halyard pulls the sail up and becomes like a forstay, then you unfurl it. It is nice to have the rolled sail on the deck and not in the air with all the windage that it would cause. It looks more like a jib than a spinnaker when it is up.

Later,
Dan

The red cat is not Swiss. I think it is a Raider 302,
a 30-footer designed by Tony Grainger:
