Lots of whys here? Why have the rig so far forward? Why have the jib off a pole? Why not just build it longer?
and
Why build it at all as it is so ugly?

A lot of similarities with a bit more professionalism on the part of their builder, I quite like it. I definitely want a jib like that.

I can't help thinking this is extremely similar to the V-twin? Correct me if I'm wrong but most of the design ideas are incorporated I believe.

The wider it is just means the longer it can be to gain valuable waterline length! This ship is definitely missing a few meters!

Cool, wide is definitely the future, they just need a bit of a tunnel to reduce the wetted area, and I'll have been proved right all along..

Now that is the solution to GRFs aversion to hiking properly - guard-rails and facing outwards.
I am sure you could steer and manage the sheets behind your back Graeme!
