Wow that is kinda cool. It doesn't even make me feel like they messed up a perfectly good sailboat to make it.

The transoms look wrong for a 18, and the hulls don't look curved enough. Not arguing, just find it curious.
Upon further review, the runner failed to touch second base, Touchdown Celtics.
The hulls may have been made using 18 hulls as molds.

Pushing a rig that large with three hulls in the water at 22mph with a 25 Merc ain't bad. It is probably really good on fuel also. It would make a real good chase boat for a cat fleet.
