At those speeds, I’d have thought they’d have gone for a trimaran. The helmsman needs to be lifted higher off the water surface. Even though the forward visibility is better than most sailboats, about every minute he’s having water at firehose velocity rake his helmet. No headrest. I’m surprised his head doesn’t separate from his body.He’ll be a candidate for whiplash soon if not already.
If it doesn’t have a name, I’d call it the “Bloody ‘L’.”
Needs a small seat behind the helmsman, like on a motorcycle, for significiant others and they can be sold commerically.
