Interesting Catamaran Project, but what is it?

Post by Ed »

Any thoughts on what this is.

Kinda crazy and I kinda like it...

Just saw that a really nice Unicorn sold for just £360 on ebay. God I hate being broke :-(

Good Grief!!!

That's not a catamaran, it's a floating road bridge!

Its a Hoot!

Actually I'd be interested to know if Dougall would like it as much as the Devoti D1 he trashed in Como! :twisted:

Its got the same old man's armchair arrangements for the helm!

With those foils and all perhaps its an entry level desighn for the "little" americas Cup :shock:

Gosh, this is all a tad harsh! It was an ac of selfless sacrifice, think how good it is that people can thrash their D-Ones secure in the knowledge that they're not about to fire shards of carbon fibre and harken ball bearings everywhere!

And anyway...I was only obeying orders!
