My friend PowerCat sent me this and asked me to identify the Hobie powered craft at 2:04. I'll agree it looks like a H20 rig but beyond that I'm clueless.

Everybody

Anyone?

It looks like a Hobie trifoiler, but with a single mast instead of the dual rig setup?

One-way proa with foil?

It is definately a tri configuration, but it might be a one-off and not a production boat? Looks like fun..

It looks like a cool boat. But not the tri foiler. I bet that thing is fast!

Also, this looked like a really fun day on the water!
