wheels 543 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 It's nice to see designers push boundaries and think outside the box, but wow. At least it looks like a yacht I guess. A split-mast design that propels the vessel through the water with a port and starboard-side sail. Lila Lou’s"Ankida” abandons the traditional split-sail, central-mast design, opting instead for a third “swing sail” that can be deployed through the middle of the two masts for extra speed.

Can a standard travel lift get it out of the water This may be you one day . . . To a 5 year old: "No Jonny, just because your older brother jumps off the top of the mast, you can't " "WHY " "Because I said so " Parents logic wins again Link to post Share on other sites

Kestrahl 6 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Maybe he should do a 20ft version first and race against some other 20ft yachts to see if it is actually a improvement before building the super yacht version.. Link to post Share on other sites
