Well, let's agree to disagree on what is meant by

self right

.

My Tornado w. carbon mast can be

self-righted

with me leaning off the striker... outside assistance not needed.

Understood and agreed. I call

self-right

what you would call

automatic self-right

.

I like to think that this boat was designed to right itself without any action from the crew - much like a ballasted monohull. With multihull speed and monohull self-right (or automatic self-right) capability, it would beat monohulls in each and every point = complete supremacy!

Dream BIG!

There has been some months now, and it seems like the project has met more trouble than anticipated. At least no success stories on their website. I tought perhaps it was worth to revive this thread after reading about the french who recently crossed the pond on a 20 foot special purpose beachcat. They went over, and righted their boat.

There is also a youtube video of the boat, now dubbed to the Explorer 25. http://youtube.com/watch?v=KB9uzwjO11I

Just found out, the boat is for sale for EUR69000. Ref: http://www.multihull.de/markt/sportboote.htm

I suppose the project is at an end then. No record attempts over the atlantic and no successful self-righting.
