no....does it really look 30foot? does it have wings like most other ultras? does it even look remotely dinghy like?

NO

Don't know why, but a newtons cradle comes to mind when I see that picture

That's probably OK if you're in the middle, you need the one at each end to stay awake tho .

Yeap, taken during one of the swiss lake races

I wonder how much difference it makes wiring a boat like that rather than sitting on the rail? more comfortable on a long lightwind trek up the lake I guess...

no course it's not, that's one of those things they sail on those swiss lakes and it's not 30 ft......

I watched them one evening during Cowes Week: maybe '92-ish. I'm sure they are fantastic to sail but it wasn't in all honesty very exciting to watch even for a sailing obsessive, let alone Joe Average.
